Isla and Evie had their last cuddles with granny Ilene and grandpa beard for a little while at the beginning of this week. We enjoyed some summery weather and so were out in the garden quite a bit. We visited the library and park for the first time as just a mum and two little girls on Monday, and then braved Morrisons today. This felt like a big scary trip out, but was actually fine!
Isla has been enjoying playing with her happyland toys, with random creatures driving random vehicles. We were both very excited to find Applejack's friend, a small purple snail who had been lost for ages, as well as Applejack herself. Today we have been mastering dominoes and are getting the hang of playing the Peppa Pig version. This morning we made a car out of cushions, and Isla drove Violet and baby to the doctors, where the doctor (me) had to give Violet a check up. Then Isla brought puppy to the vet (me again) to be weighed and have some flea medicine put on. We are preparing ourselves for Pob's big annual weigh-in next week! I then became the shopkeeper, selling Isla many lovely items of food, and finally pre-school lady looking after Violet for a bit.
We ran out of greedy snacks this week, and so made a chocolate victoria sponge cake on Tuesday with buttercream icing and crushed flake on top. Then that evening, they were doing the same on the Great British Bake off!! But a bit more elaborately, and without toddlers to assist them. And I managed to avoid cutting either of my thumbs whilst baking a cake...
Evie has had a growth spurt this week, with a non-stop feeding frenzy on Wednesday (a very tiring day, and Isla was so patient with us both) followed by lots of sleeping today. The lovely health visitor paid us our final visit today, measuring a new weight of 10 lb 3 oz and she is certainly getting chubby cheeks (Evie, not the health visitor).
