Banbury on the bus!

My happy little Munchkin! She has had some serious headbangs today...most of them were before 10 am!!!

Today has been a LOOOOOOOOOONNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG day! We started really early getting up with Daddy as we usually do, only today we got ready and out by 9am!!! Woohooo...
We got a early bus to Banbury with Our friends Olivia and Penny we then went and did some serious shopping as both Matilda and Elsie needed Pyjamas...well that was my excuse for a hardcore shopping trip...umm as hardcore as Banbury gets!!!!! Teehee...

Matilda and Olivia trying sensible shoes on!!!

Matilda and Elsie got some gorgeous dresses...matching of course, and soem summer clothes! Mummy got a new handbag... (it is from the same range as the link but a different shape)...with strawberries on it...A favourite theme at the moment...You have to see it to believe it...Gosh its gorgeous!!!...It has little crochet strawberries dangling and a zebra print background!!! (isn't it Sooooooooze???) Probs not everyones taste!!!
Mummy also got a knitting book to try and inspire her to make something worth wearing (except for Katie as I made her a really cool scarf a while ago...oh and Tils last year... But something SUPER cool is defo in the pipeline!!!)
Tils also got a new MAGIC cup which she is hugely excited about as it has no hole..how does it work you say??? Well you will have to wait and see Tils so she can show you!!! She still has her milk in a cup at bed time! So we had at least 50 demonstratons before bed!!!
I also had to get lots of things from Boots, Baby shampoo, toothbrushes, Lunch, Organic Rusks for Els (they are dairy free Yay!!!) and Mummy invested in a few nail polishes.
The girls were all very well behaved and Matilda and Olivia were treated to a Dora the Explorer lucky bag.
The highlight of the day was when Matilda got her Dora the Explorer pyjamas...I do not allow characters or motifs on clothes normally (Horrid controlling mother Iam !!!) but she had been begging and had been such a good girl and they are quite tasteful..OK they are horrid and I would have muched prefer her normal skinny leg Gap ones (I love her c'ankles popping out the bottom of them!!!) but she is 3 so she can have some choice in her nightime attire!!!.....Especially as no one will see them!!! anyway!!!
On the bus trip home the bigger girls played with their Dora goodie bags and behaved very well, they both looked shattered!
We got back from Banbury and Mummy had to take Twig to the doctors for her 8 month check..she is doing very well, a child genius the doctor said, very advanced!!! Hahaha Only joking all is fine and Dandy and Beverly our Health visitor is very impressed with Elsie pulling herself up and crawling.... oh and her alphabet...backwards!!!
Tils stayed with Olivia and Pen while Mummy and Els were at the doctors and we went back and joined them at Susie's house and then Jenny Popped over with Katie, they are all excited about (Big/Auntie )Penny's wedding (good luck for Saturday!!!xxx) and we had a quick play and then we came home and Daddy followed shortly after.
Tils had an omelette (with peppers, pancetta,onion and cheese) for sups as that is what she had asked for and fresh mango....yummy!
No I dont have teeth but I di have a cool tooth brush with a gummy bit at the ends!!

Ready for bed on the sofa in their new P.Y.Jamas and playing with their new toothbrushes....
Tils looks so tired with her fingers in her mouth and Elsie has some mad hair going on!!!!!!

I hope everyone is impressed with my long post (including links so You can get a real feel of what it is like living in the Willy/Turnip Household!!!) A few comments wouldnt go amiss....

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Yesterday was Daddy's Birthday and Matilda made Daddy a birthday cake, Daddy had lots of cool gifts but one very special one was an ' eglu' which now means he is the proud new owner of two chickens... Tils has named them 'Higgle and Dora'! so we should hopefully be getting eggies for brekkie very soon!!!

Mummy and Daddy went to 'The crazy bear' over in Oxford last night for Daddy's Birthday dinner, it was great - Granny and Pops Babysat so we were able to go and enjoy ourselves, Mummy had Chicken and Pistachio Terrine to start with Pickles and Malted brown bread, I then had King Prawns and Clams for Main and salted peanut Caramel with Chocolate sorbet for dessert, Daddy had Lamb (Uncle Tum suggested Brains - as he was convinced he had seen them on either Gordon Ramsey or River Cottage???) with bearnaise sauce and he also had Venison Pie for main and then Lemon Posset for dessert, it is a gorgeous venue and we would have loved to have stayed the night! When we had finished Eating Unlce Tum/Big Tom/Bowl and Loz came to join us for a drink which was lovely as they had driven from Maidenhead after a long days work! We left at 12 am and got home late it was a really lovely night and a big treat!The Crazy Bear!!!Daddy, Unlce Tum and Loz!

Today was tumble tots and then we had a presentation at Tilly's school she was given a 'treasure chest' of treats - 2 reading books, some colouring pencils and stickers.
Daddy finished work early so we went to town and Daddy brought Matilda and Keira a milk shake!!!

Elsie has started trying to hold her bottle, she has also been holding her head really well and has got so big and strong!!
