Weeeeeeee!

Ivy officially LOVES her slide. In a fit of recklessly lazy parenting very nobel attempt to encourage independent play- I built her a set of steps up to her slide using her crash mat and the footstool, which she's almost mastered using.

Brogan Began this morning- dressed Ivy up as a monkey again. The other babies all piled into playing with a tub of rice whilst Ivy took advantage of unattended mums to sneak in some cuddles.

Went to the cheilidh place after as we were meant to be meeting Tess- but she got unexpectadly delayed by beheading chickens and I had no way to contact her, so Ivy and I just hung out in the chielidh place for most of the early afternoon, pestering various people for company. Ivy was going to overheat in her monkey costume, so she had a quick costume change to the witch costume Becky got her for her birthday, that we happened to have with us. She liked spinny round in her floffy skirt.

When Tess and Tilda arrived it was lovely to see them- it's been MONTHS. we've arranged another play date on Tuesday, at my house- because I have a cool slide don't you know.

We gave out glow sticks to giasers this year instead of sweeets or nuts (being conscious of allergies and healthy eating), the local teenagers assured me that glowsticks are super cool.
