happy birthday!


Our girl is FOUR! We threw a small party / gathering on her actual birthday, and she loved having her friends over for what turned out to be a Frozen + Unicorn themed day. She woke up to her first gift from her big brother, a unicorn puzzle and a Frog & Toad book, and then the two kids scurried downstairs to open more gifts. There was a big box of Fruit Loops (highlight!), books (Uni the Unicorn was/is a favourite), an Elsa dress, Elsa dolls, Frozen clothes, a new scooter and Anna and Elsa dolls - and I think these take the cake. She's also really loved a new plush unicorn, a jar of paper stars and a ribbon wand. It was fun to see her so happy with the presents and attention and friends - and funny to see her picking all of them up in ferocious hugs and/or just because. Ooooooh how I love her!

J in his exerciser... so far so good!
How cute is this baby?! He is, at the moment, sleeping - something he's been resisting over the past three or four days (day and night, boo!). Fingers are crossed (glued) that it'll get better; I need more than two consecutive hours at a time! Last night was better than the two before (thank GOODness) and I'm hoping for another decent stretch tonight. He has a minor ear infection which he's on antibiotics for, and I have to say administering the goopy pink liquid has been somewhat of a challenge (the same goes for removing a sliver from Alana's hand tonight). The kids start school in TWO sleeps (can't believe it), and I need to soak up the last of the summer with my babes. 

3 1/2 months and cuter than ever
