Last night we had a lot of activity in our house, full of minibeasts, haircuts and avocado's. Another fairy tale? Nope, a dinner with friends, a new recipe I was trying out, Gerbie's first haircut and the below mentioned minibeast model. Bean and daddy went to work on the model of the minibeast straightaway when he got home from work. We let Bean pick what she wanted to make and in true Bean fashion - she picked the prettiest minibeast she could find: a butterfly. I think it turned out really nice. (see picture above). One of our friends also cut Gerbie's hair - her first haircut! (see picture below). Yes, she is 2 and a half years old, but when you are bald for most of your first two years, you don't exactly need a lot of haircuts. She did a great job. And my recipe - not bad if I say so myself, creamed chicken and avocado. The girls went to bed late because of all the activity and I thought they would sleep in a little longer this morning...but they were still up bright and early. The reason why??? I am glad you asked. In England, by this time of year, it gets light out very early and stays light out until very late. That would be approximately 4:30 am until around 10:00 p.m. By the way, the opposite is true in the winter - sunrise at 8 a.m. and sunset at 4:00 p.m. What does this mean for us now? By 5:00 a.m. the sun is high in the sky, the birds are singing, the rooms are really light and the little eyes pop open and think it is time to get up. I think we may need to go invest in some nice blackout shades.
