Lesson learned...

A couple of days ago I read a great post over at Nichole's blog where she wrote about her children whining, my pet hate!!! Nothing annoys me more and she said she had always told her children to take a deep breath and then they would feel better... Great idea, I thought! Have to try it!
So, day after and Freya goes off on something and starts whining, aha! My plan can be put into action - "Freya, calm down, take a deep breath and you'll feel better"...ok... she looks at me very sceptical first but does it - Wow! It worked! Yay! Nichole, I love you!!!

A couple of hours later and the dogs keeps eating the poor cat's food so I tell them off in a slightly annoyed voice... well what I didn't know was that Freya was standing right behind me and she pulls my trousers and says "Mamma, deep breaze (=breath) - better!?" LOL
Lesson learned - Live as you preach and walk the talk!

Well, it's "weekend" here again - honestly, where does time go!? Unfortunately little ones have caught a bug (might be the one I had last week...). Both coughing and very blocked up but they don't seem too bothered - full action as usual!

Freya had a birthday "party" to go to yesterday. She was soooo excited and had to wear a necklace and have a handbag just like Mamma...
She was ready to paaartey!!!
Actually it was only her and the birthday girl, who turned 3, and they had a fab time! We went to the Ceramique Cafe to do some "art". The girls LOVED it!!!

It said that you should only do two layers of paint not to have it crack after burning...well, hmm... try and tell a 2 and 3 year old that!
Freya's plate with colors got all mixed up fairly quickly...will be interesting to see what bunny looks like when it's been in the Owen!
This was my plate... I bet you, her bunny is going to turn out fab and my coffee mug rather boring...
After all the artsy activities we had to have cake and the birthday girl is totally into dinosaurs at the moment so she had wished for a green dinosaur cake........isn't it Awesome! It was super yummy too!!! We had a GREAT day - Thank you, Jo and Isla!
