Sunday morning

Feeding the ducks

Aren't the park and pond gorgeous?!

Holiday creativity

Emma and I decorated the Christmas tree with Grand-Papa and Pata


and then added our home made Santas on some of the branches. These were made with felt and toilet rolls (my favorite raw material for craft activities!).


Last but not least, we made some fuzzy haired fairies that sort of remind me of Endora from the 60's series Bewitched.

2 (and a bit) more years to go!

I'm sort of throwing this down in the hope of remembering to dig it out when Emma is old enough to play - in the meantime I might just do some with Steph if he's willing to indulge me... (or rather if we find the time).

What am I talking about?

I read this post and was particularly delighted at the "nine" part of it by Catherine's son Ben and his friend Ava.

It's a hilarious and magical mad lib and I had no idea this is what they were called although I remember playing a version of these in my early teens with French speaking friends and finding it really fun. Hilarious sometimes, actually.

So, if your kids are old enough to play - at least 4 I think - give yourself and them a laugh and do some Mad libs!
