Birthday Girl

Posted on February 28, 2011 by | 1 comment

My gorgeous girl, SB, is now 10!! don’t the years fly so very quickly. She is growing up in all sorts of ways, height, physically, emotionally and educationally. She is really a lovely, friendly, helpful, caring and gentle girl, with a goodly dash of energetic, wild, crazy and eyerollingly adventurous :) . If I thought how she was turning out was down to us, I would be quite proud :)

so we got up and ‘did’ presents, the lions share was quarter of a trampoline. However, I had teased her that i would buy some managing finance books now 10, so did so :) she also got a pillow with speakers in, which she was keen on, a science kit and from various family members sylvanians and craft kits

Following that we went to the nearby birds of prey centre, had a great wander round, watched the flights, and SB v happily had an owl fly to her and off :) so that all counted as success. We nipped into see F-I-L in the hospital, and he was much more chipper, and then went to watch tangled in 3D, which we all loved :) [well, i think DH not quite so enthusiastic!] . Back for birthday request of cauliflower cheese for tea and birthday cake, and SB made a fab cheese cake for the next day party, i made a vat of curry, sausage rolls, buns etc and then a late bedtime with a v happy birthday girl :)

‘nother day, ‘nother ‘postrophe-ed blog post!

i think the girls went out to the local town market, and to get SB some new ballet shoes for most of the day! in typical SB style, she seems to have come back from ballet with 2 shoes of diff sizes :roll: , and last week, no-one else seemed to have the wrong size?? [how does she do it??] so new shoes in order! also a new gym leotard, because her lovely rainbow one seems to have totally vanished :roll: and :roll: again!!

ermmm, when i got home, SB had just got her recorder out to practice, and asked if we could duet, so i thought that was a fab idea, and we played the first piece a couple of times, and then moved onto the second. rather fab this! [no, i haven't got over the violin, just making the best!] I might even stop trying to play the notes on the treble as they are played on the descant one day soon! She then did some galore park english [yes we still are on chapter one!] and chris has decided she did it at the rough speed of 1 word a minute. I think he was being generous!!

SB off to ballet [it took 15 mins to go upstairs and bring down bag -:roll: !!] and BB was being massively waily. compounded by me i :blush: to add. i couldn’t quite grasp what she wanted to do with boxes to make a stage, and in trying to find out, she wailed that much she had to admit she had forgotten [to more wails]. we compromised on reading some stories, cuddling and then making crystals. she is rubbing her eyes a lot at the moment [and actually temporarily stopped fimo-ing because of it] so insisted we were only using salt and sugar, but we could dye them, so we will see how succesful they are. we were all cheered up then, and played silly games until tea. Chris drew taking a ‘not tired’ BB to bed.

SB and I started by playing buckaroo, and then went on to ticket to ride – nordic countries – which did delay bedtime by an hour whilst we enjoyed playing! i love playing games with SB, and this eve time is v precious to me. Def a good game!!
