What a Difference a Lollipop Makes - Diary of a Santa Photo

The afternoon began all smiles with a ride on the merry-go-round. Look closely and you can see trouble lurking in the background

Molly remains oblivious .....

...... but not for long!

What's that? A lollipop?

Hey, hey! That's close enough big guy!

What? No lollipop yet? I have to stay here?

AND you expect me to smile??

There! Is that good enough?

But I don't want to smile! Oh OK then!

My lollipop at last!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

How many shopping days left till Christmas? I haven't even started my letter to Santa!

Toes

Sure Mum, the pears were great.....

.... but you can't beat these yummy toes!

Want some?

Be Quiet! I'm Busy!!

Molly was helping to pick up some leaves off the floor from a plant we forgot to water before we went on holidays.


Dave and I were chatting about something and suddenly we heard Molly say "Be quiet!! I'm busy!!"

Hard as we tried we could not keep a straight face.

Anyone for Tea?

I love Dorothy slaving away over a hot stove in the background.

Party Time

I was sitting in another room with Max when I heard Molly call out "Mummy, Mummy!! It's party time!!"
When I walked into the loungeroom this is what I found. She moved all of the furniture herself.



Notice that all of the guests have a present (in the form of a peek-a-block). Apparently it was Molly's birthday and she sang Happy Birthday complete with two hip, hip hoorays.
I didn't even know she knew the words.

I'm not sure if they all ate a bad grape but after the party Molly and all of her guests were "not at all well" and needed a lie down.

Priceless!

Concentration

 

Mess? What Mess?

First Solids!

He took to it like a pro!

Beach Babies

An Afternoon Stroll in Forster

Tuesday afternoon and I had completed my commitments to the conference I had been presenting at. It was a lovely afternoon so we explored Forster on foot together. First stop the icecream parlour.



Rainbow was Molly's choice of flavour.

Of course we had to have a paddle in the ocean.
