swinging

Have I mentioned that Enya has (finally) progressed to swinging in the seated position. For the longest time she would only swing lying with her tummy on seat and then only she was allowed to propel the swing- NO Pushing thankyewverymuch! Now we are even allowed to push her (albeit with continual reminders of "gently mommy")

Ciara on the other hand is a higher faster more kind of kid. At least on the swing, just don't try and get her on a trampoline!

Another mega picture post

Sorry, just downloaded my camera again, so you get the photo overload again. First of all
happy faces



and then
my orally fixated daughters



we also had Father's Day in Germany last week and Z got a Bollerwagen from his girls, as the weather on that day (Thursday) was dreadful, we took it out for it's inaugral trek on Saturday instead- a few shots from the walk







A bollerwagen is usually filled with kids or beer and is hauled out on public holidays, when as previously mentioned pretty much all of Germany goes walking ;0) (we went with the first option obviously)

Gardening days

We took advantage of the unexpectedly bright and sunny afternoon and got out into the back garden. Ciara and Enya decided to "help" our landlady with her planting of the window boxes, which gave me a few precious moments to catch my breath and do some gardening of my own!

Our terrace bed is now a riot of purple and pink flowers and the shrubs have been hacked back (warning: do not let me loose with garden shears, plants will be severely pruned) and all the weeds are history.




All in all a very satisfying afternoon!

4th post for today

Don't forget to look down and see/read the rest ;0)
