Paddington Bear

 We just finished reading "A Bear Called Paddington" and (because the girls loved it so much) "More About Paddington". To celebrate finishing these books we had a marmalade sandwich lunch. The girls were so excited to eat marmalade, just like Paddington.

I love being at home with our girls. I sometimes wish these days could last forever (and there are also days I feel like I may poke out my eye). One of the things that just makes my heart overflow with joy is when Ella reads to her sisters (just because it is so cute). Ella and Juju are very into "The Mole Sisters" lately. It's the cutest thing - Ella starts by reading the title and Juju says "hey, sisters, just like we're sisters" and Ella says "yah, just like us - except we're not moles". And then they both laugh :)

On good days, Ella lets Juju turn the pages. And other days (the ones that I feel like poking out my eye) this turns into a major argument.

Karis has a new trick. She goes into the bathroom, closes the toilet cover, steps on the stool, onto the toilet, onto the counter (by using the toilet paper roll as a step), and then hangs out in the sink. A few times we have wondered where she disappeared to and have found her relaxing in the sink. Weird!

Please note how full her head of hair is getting. This picture shows the back nicely - Auntie Jaynie may appreciate this :)
