A $14.68 fix........

Dd and the girls popped up for a visit on the weekend.  Amongst the things we did we had a trip to Homesense for a look around.  Miss N. felt very grown up carrying Nana's handbag.

 Miss P's hands were full with "Scarf Bear!!"

As soon as we walked through the door we saw this display.  I LOVE those milk boxes, really cute.

The girls took Timmy the Turtle home and here he is in their garden.

I found a new ironing board cover.  This is why the title of the post is $14.68 ($12.99 plus 13 % tax = $14.68)

 So on Monday I too off my old ironing board cover and underneath it I had put tin foil, which had rusted through.

 When I removed the tin foil, it was even more rusty, but very serviceable.

 So covered it with new tin foil.

 Added the new ironing board cover and everything is good too go.

 Remembered to cut off any usable hardware.

 Then bundled it all up and threw out the old cover and tin foil.  It looks nasty doesn't it?

Should be all good for a few more years.

Miss P.

Haven't shown you any photos of our Miss P. in a while.  She is coming up to 15 months old and is a very active little soul.  She loves her food, loves to climb and has no problem beating up her big sister!!

I met all the grands, other than Miss J. at the park on Saturday as they were having a play date.  I will share photos of the others over the next few days.  Today though it's all about Miss P.

 This is my favourite photo as it captures her to a tee.......she tends to studies things and people in a curious sort of way.

 Her hair falls into a natural bob and is turning a redder blonde, whereas her sister is a true blonde.

She adores her Granddad and he adores her, as do I.

Some photos.........

I did post these on Facebook, but will share with you as well.

Miss P turned 9 months old on Wednesday:

Both baby and mother are a lot happier due to getting more sleep!  Her favourite things in life are food, crawling and eating soil from the house plants.  She still has a "fetish" with the heating vents as well.

On Tuesday it was crazy hair day at daycare, and Miss N went like this:

She was a unicorn.  The "horn" is made of tin foil, shaped like a horn, with Miss N's hair wrapped around and and held in place with hair elastics and sprayed with hairspray.

As I said to dd, all Miss N's friends would love it and all the other mother's would hate dd for being an "over achiever!!"  She just laughed.

Icky, Icky, Icky

Daughter sent me these photos the other day, knowing full well I would whine on about them.  I do not like this sort of thing........

I hate it when kids get all messy like this when eating.  I always have the dishcloth on hand when they eat over at our place.  Miss P is a very independent eater, so likes to be hands on.  Dd finds it easier just to let her get on with it so always puts food on her tray and if need be feeds her by spoon in between hands.  Miss N was exactly the same and I have a similar photo of her doing the same thing.

I still think it's icky......
