Wind the bobbin up

Ivy wanted to wear her kangaroo costume again today so that the birthday party fun could continue. We all had cake for breakfast. When she saw Briar was wearing her stripey cardigan, she went and got hers for putting on so they could be the same. A kangaroo in a cardigan was very funny.

Our house is a proper disaster zone after all the prep work for Ivy's party. We decided to just work out it throughout the week though, and ignore it today to go swimming. Ivy did proper lying on her front, kicking her legs swimming. Briar went underwater for the first time- Willow wasn't so sure about the coldness. Our time is always cut short by Ivy going blue before her sisters- need to get her a new wetsuit that'll cover her arms and legs more- she's mostly outgrown the one she's in. 

We met Euan's uncle whose an Irish priest for coffee, because we didn't think our hosue was in a good way to recieve visitors. He ended up having to come back anyway, because he needed a form off Euan. Ivy has discovered the spinney coin donation box in the ferry terminal and fed it all our change. There were a couple of coins in the pram, underneath willow- so Ivy asked Willow if she could have them please.
