here comes the sun

Grandma and Granddad got us a new beach sun tent for chrissy.  Getting prepared for your two weeks in the beach house.  We're not even there yet and you're having fun already!

Now DK's day off

Your DK has been seriously busy at work recently little HK.  Lots of travel, lots of late nights and generally busy busy busy.  Today is the first day in a while that he's had off just to hang around with us.  We took you out for a nice breakfast.  You tried pancakes.  You loved pancakes.  A walk with the puppies and after your nap we might head out to the noisy market that you love.  The weather is grey through so here are some snaps of our last day off together nearly a month ago.

MK's morning off

On Saturday mornings you and DK go off to swimming lessons.  You love it.  He loves it.  And I love it.  Because its MK's morning off.  This morning MK had a massage ... a no reason, not in pain or suffering an injury massage but just a "I deserve a nice relax" massage and they are the very best kind.



Top it off with a stroll through the local bric a brac shop and guess what? I finally found the beside lamp!  After several false starts and years of general low grade irritation with its Planet Lamp predecessor (not that I don't love planets but it just didn't fit right there).

serious business



Something has suddenly come over you these last few days Mr HK.  Suddenly play has become very serious business.  Not just a few minutes with this or that and then back to MK for a cuddle.

Nope - over that now.  Now you want to play.  And as long as I stay close (so that you regularly look up and grin at me - such a boy - I swear you are saying "are you watching me? are you watching me mummy?") I a free to do other things.  What a strange feeling!



Have decided though - 'other things' had better not be internet shopping.  That's going to get way too expensive.  Ok maybe just a little more - after all it's christmas.   Most recent addition to your presents.
