Summary Sunday

My beautiful 4.5 yr old niece made me laugh and smile so so much! Finn asked her if she would marry him - she very seriously replied that cousins can't marry - and that she is already going to marry someone else from kindy because she loves him... ( let's call him Jake). So I asked her about Jake.. her reply: " Oh.. I am obsessed with Jake, Danni. I love him and he loves me and we're going to get married. He is soooo kind. He is sooo caring ... and I just ... LOVE him " - all said with her head on the side and a gooey love struck look on her face. Priceless... absolutely priceless. Thank you darling girl for reminding me of the innocence and purity of children.

Tidying up after the kids, it made me smile ( and laugh)

to find that Shrek had commandeered Barbie's

car to run away with a ballet dancer

I makes me smile that Ruby would much prefer to sit on her brothers

lounge each morning with him than on her own

I loved that Ruby wanted our neighbour to come and watch her dancing concert- he's 6 months older than her and she just loves him. I love it even more that he did come and watch and said she was a good dancer!

(This photo makes me smile too)

An old photo but probably the most recent of us together

I am grateful for the Big Cheese. He has been travelling a lot for work these last couple of weeks and he came home one night with a book for me that he saw at the airport. The Big Cheese is not a reader, but I love that he encourages my hobby and he remembers which authors I like . He used to surprise me quite often with a book. He hadn't done it for a long time. It made me smile.

Finishing a batch of "Toy Story" cookies for a friends little one's 1st Birthday

made me very happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the fact that there were only a couple of casualties

when Finn knocked one of the 2 trays on the floor

made me happy too

( although not so at the time!)

I love that although my day started with this:

It ended with the tiling being started - who couldn't be happy about that?

I have a lot to be thankful this week, hope you did too

Danni xx
