whitewriterLikely to be the last post of the year at the rate this is going.
Every night I want to come here and write or ring my Aunt in Malta and every night I'm "too tired" and the acts get shelved.
Conversations with Wendy
W- I want more Peppa to brush my teeth!
Me - You already brushed your teeth
W- how about you?
Me - I already brushed mine too.
W - How about Daddy...
Me - Does he want to watch Peppa while he brushes his teeth?
W- Daddy...
W - What are we doing tomorrow?
Me - The beach
W - Ooo a big day!
Me - today was a big day
W - no today was a little day

Christmas
Extra busy because we had it here.
Somehow I could have been more prepared perhaps but I wasn't. But thats the thing with hosting things. I think the more you do it the better you get at it. I had quite a few midnight bedtimes. I think one went til 1am even. But everything got done.
Even making a 6 year old a lion cake for his birthday the night before we were due to go to the zoo, after a late shift that ended at 10pm. At least I had the hindsight to already have cut up the cake, made the icing, crumb coat it and fridge it- and cut the candies. The next step was putting on the nice coat and then adding in the candy and then it was done and ready for the freezer.
Fun project.
Now its onto Wendys birthday, she's already planned it out.
She wants her cousins and a few friends there, and a castle cake. Which I mind seeded to her brain a while back because ... I want to make a castle cake and I think it would suit her currently likes.
The roster for early Feb is already out - and her birthday this year falls on a Monday. So I could do it on the 7th of Feb. Which is a Saturday.
I haven't thought further than that.
