Rain!!!!! hooray hooray hooray!!!

Riding to pick up tali from primary school in the driving rain. All the mums and me watching Ella jump in puddles while waiting for him to come out. Riding through puddles with Tali to get home. Rushing about to change into dry clothes to go back out and race paper boats in the gutter.

Love it!! :-D :-D

(oh - and am reading It right now, so you can appreciate that it took a certain amount of rational courage to take my children out and play with paper boats in the rain...)

- taking this opportunity to warm my cockles with red wine :-D

Successful day of having a little friend over to play for Ella this morning for the first time.

I picked up Emily from Tali's school this morning and we all rode home. Then they _vanished_ out into the cubby house all morning. I only heard from them when they arrived in the kitchen with demands for fairy bread and strawberries.

My little girl.

Not a baby any more.
