Day 41: Sheets and pancakes
The girls were on good form when I got home from work today. They had both enjoyed Exile #4's regular messy-play class and eating pancakes and were excited about their new floral bedding. As you can see they are sitting on a duvet, although what you mean by that may depend on what continent you are on. In the US, duvet is used to describe the cover, the contents being a comforter (often decorative and designed to be used on top of a top-sheet). Anyway, Exile #2 succeeded in ordering the right things so that the girls could have these matching and extremely girly beds.
Exile #3 also spent some time making a pretty impressive Lego house today including a computer with a swivel-chair and a baby room, where "the baby doesn't need a teddy because there is a machine that makes smells to help the baby to sleep, like flowers or chicken." Well you use whatever works I suppose. Look out for the upcoming post, "Day 100ish: Chicken smell sends restless baby to sleep at last!"

Hey Exile,
ReplyDeleteYou have been found out! LOL -- good to read your blog -- feel free to check mine out http://johnsblog.net
We should get lunch soon... I will be on Youth retrest this weekend, but let's talk about the following Sunday possibly. :)
Careless talk and all that. I've added link to your sermon to last Sunday's post. Thanks. I guess that anonymity is pretty fragile!
