(Did you go bump?)

Yesterday at the pool Emer and I were splashing each other in the toddler pool. She slapped the water with both hands and lower arms, the manual equivalent of a belly-flop, and retired to the top of the slide to nurse her wounds. After a short minute of sitting still looking miserably at her knees, she brought her arms up, kissed the backs of her wrists, and said "Deh, da bedda."

Advent

This morning the children got their first Christmas cards in the post, from their Farmor and Grandad - they are Advent calendars with a little picture under each flap. Today, Linnea's one had a picture of cakes and Emer's one had a pig.

We spent the day between the bathroom and the housework, and everyone feels much better for it.

Now I'm trying to assemble Christmas cards. And the next fortnight's menu plan. Ho hum.
