Sugar and Spice

A mother of girls has all the opportunity she ever needs to access her inner child. This morning Rose pulled a sickie. She was really quite convincing at half seven but now at lunch time she is like a button. So we have been whistling while we work in the true Disney tradition and I thought I would pass on our favourite Disney sing-along. It really does make the chores fly by, especially when one's daughters have the dance routine down pat. I particularly like the dumpy little muse who can still keep up with all the others. Go girl!



Then, just to keep it interesting - I was putting laundry away (does that flippin' stuff ever end?) when the three of them wandered into the room. They had little sticks in their hands (my dancing banners actually, but they had detached the banners and now only God knows where they are.*) As you might know, anything can become a wand in the hand of an expert, so there they were gently brushing their "wands" over my ankles making gentle zzzzzz ing noises.
"Ah, there's nice" I thought. "They are casting all sorts of happy spells on my feet."
...Not!
Rose, after supervising her sisters for a little while, decided that she had other stuff to attend to and told her minions " Keep electrocuting Mummy" and exited with panache.

In other news...the winner of the goodie bag is...

So this afternoon I pack it up and tomorrow it hits the road. I love doing goodie bags.
Oh! And I had my first customer on etsy last night! I was stupidly elated...really I was. I'll tell you another time, I'm probably still a bit daft about it.

Hope you are having a beautifully happy day too.


*I am not blaspheming. He really is the only one who knows where they are
