First Night Out

Last night Peter and I had our first night out since Sunshine arrived to light up our lives! My mum came and babysat for us which I think she enjoyed! Sunshine seemed to behave herself!
Anyway we went to a Murder Mystery dinner at the HautBoy in Ockham. it was in honour of one of our previous managers' 40th birthday and escape from South East Water! There were plenty of us so it was quite good fun...we weren't on the winning team, but we weren't too worried about winning (although it would have been nice!). Oh and the food was fab!
I'm not sure if you have ever been to one, but you really need to keep your eyes and ears open...and also be dead nosey with the plot characters! I think we'd go to one again but not for a little while!

An end to massacred bread in the house of Allen?

Peter moans when the butter gets massacred, and laughs when I mash the butter onto my toast so maybe this could be the answer to my problems...

Pursuading a smile...

I was trying to get Sunshine to smile for me yesterday...and this is how she responded...
Me: "Smile....!"
Sunshine:

Me: "Sunshine, smile...!" (including cheesy grin)
Sunshine:

Me: "Ah Well...."
Sunshine:

Finally Finished and Framed

It's done! This has been a work in progress since 2002...Peter bought me this cross-stitch for our 2nd wedding anniversary (Cotton) and I finally managed to finish it just after Sunshine was born - I was aiming to get it completed before she was born, but I ran out of one colour! The last couple of stitches and french knots were added a couple of weeks ago and I had it framed this week.

I was planning on hanging it in the bedroom because of the dreamcatcher motif but Peter insisted that it hould be on show in the liviing room for everyone to see!

Rainbow

It's been a while since I posted anything...I don't think I need to make any lame excuses! Anyway, when Sunshine and I got back from baby clinic today there was a fab double rainbow at the end of the road...If you look carefully you may see the second one....:-)

Tumble drier

Our tumble drier arrived today which means that washing will be done and put away fairly promptly...rather than hanging around in the 'spare' room...It also should mean that when I get a chance i'll be able to tackle the 'spare' room! :-S
