The little things mean so much....

I have had a great fathers day weekend. A simple relaxed family day so far and some smashing cards and tee shirt that really sums me up! Not that I am being modest or anything! The cards and gift are great and I am really appreciative, but the memorable moments this weekend  have come from the girls just being themselves. These are the moments that make them so special to me and being their dad is an absolute joy. Watching them hurtle around together yesterday at Auntie Kate's birthday party and play for eight hours solid was a sight to sit back and make you breathless with pride. They were both so excited and the day was like they were in a 'play area sweet shop 'and somebody had given them licence to eat as much sugar as possible! There was a bouncy castle, hammocks, tug of war, French cricket, a disco, sunshine, as much chocolate cake as they could eat and a giant piece of fabric that blew around in the wind to hide under and play in. Pure child bliss. The memorable moments also come from what they say:
Anna - ' I had a lovely dream last night about a chocolate land, with chocolate men with boobies! Don't worry daddy, I did not bite their boobies, just their heads off!' Even more hilarious, but slightly worrying is that Anna has been telling her school friends and teachers that Amy is pregnant this week and Amy was wished congratulations when she took them into school! This is not the case, two children is quite enough. We do need to continue to keep an eye on Anna's ability to elaborate on the truth....
Lucy - 'I hope you enjoyed your present dad. It was only seven pounds. I thought it was a bargain!' Indeed it was Looby chick...
 
Thanks girls. You were the bargain. You came free and give endless pleasure. xx
