Visit to Florida

After Christmas we went down to Florida which was both happy and sad.  On the bright side we got to go to he beach.  I got to blow bubbles:

Good one!

Mum had to rescue me from the enormous sea octopus:

All happy on the sand:

... and one happy little sand boy:

Some Christmas photos

Baking cookies with Grandma Sherry and my cousin Luna:

Mum and I acted out our own Norman Rockwell painting:

Gotta love the Santa suit:

Early Christmas presents

Mum an Dad let me open some early Christmas presents before we fly off to Grandma Sherry's house for Christmas. This is a dress from my Aunt Mary. I think I l;ook very pretty in it!


And Grandpa Bruce and Val got me a fairy princess costume! Now I don't have to dress up as a dinosaur all the time!

OK I didn't get the horse for Christmas. But I want one. Can I have one Daddy? Can I please?

Let it snow let it snow let it snow

It started snowing in London yesterday, timing which was at best incongruous and arguably somewhat ironic for those trying to hammer out a climate change protocol in Copenhagen.

Prompting the question: where does snow come from?


Mum told me it was Frosty the Snowman spreading magic dust across the land, to remind all the little children to be on their best behaviour because Santa is coming soon.

Dad told me it is precipitation of airborne water vapour condensing into microscopic droplets which lose energy in contact with the cold air and consequently crystallise into a unique lattice structure.

I think Dad makes much more sense!

More Basil cuteness

Basil goes for a swim in the ball pool

And Grandma Sherry sent him an outfit to keep him warm in the cold weather

Winter coat

Starting to get chilly in London...

Granda came down last week and was working around the house.  I was very helpful to him.

Gran brought lots of Scottish things for mum and dad to eat and drink.  I might have some Tennents too...

Hello Basil

I like your chariot.  It's very smart.

Can we go in the swing together?  I'm glad we have our very own slave to push us.

At the park

I pushed Basil in the swing.  I think he really liked it!

I liked it even better when we could swing together side by side!

THe climbing frame was quite scary - but I managed it!

Autumn Fun

Out in the garden raking the leaves with mummy.  There's Basil in the garden too!

I am being a very helpful girl picking up the leaves:

And I also get to play in them!

But how did these leaves end up on Basil's head?  

I wonder....

Obligatory Hallowe'en Cuteness

I'm getting my money's worth out of that dinosaur costume.

Basil was a particularly fearsome pirate.  Piracy is no laughing matter, Basil, tut tut.

Basil has taken up the chewing of carrot batons.  Looks like those teeth are not far away...
