Twinkle Fairies ......

This morning I was the expecting to wake up with the "morning after the night before" feeling. Fortunately for me, I know my strengths and can still hold my own with vodka!

We had a fabulous evening celebrating a very good friends 40th Birthday. We partied till late and a fresh crisp evening (early morning) walk home aided a sound nights sleep.

DM has had an action packed day today, starting with an extra dance class for 3 hours this morning. I collected her early from the lesson, as she had a very important academy booked with her Fairy Godmother and Fairy Blossom.

DM received a phone call yesterday from her Fairy Godmother, inviting her to a special Fairy Academy. The session started with a story about how the fairies became good friends and how they know the fairies. We were running a bit late and unfortunately missed the first 10 minutes. They were extremely accommodating with us and settled DM and her friend straight away. DM enjoyed making her own fairy dust, decorating wings, creating a wand and other magical activities. When we went to collect the girls, we were shown a beautiful dance they had learn't and viewed an official presentation of the Fairy Godmother giving all the little fairies their wings and a certificate! DM was so chuffed, and loved that she had glitter in her hair. DM and her friend were very excited to learn that Fairy Blossom had been to the fairy house that they had built together. She had eaten some of the food that they left out and loved the little home they had made. It was an extremely magical experience and one I would recommend for anyone with little fairy lovers.

It was a nice treat for me too as I got to be a lady of leisure for an hour and was treated to Cream Tea at Beaumanor Hall. My friend and I held a lovely conversation without the interruptions of toilet duties, petty squabbles or an urgent need if attention ;o)

We rushed straight from the fairy academy back towards home for DM to be at a friends birthday party. DM was fortunate to arrive just as her friend was being given her birthday cake. We stayed for the final hour and then it was home to Daddy and his little ladies.

R&P were full of excitement as they had had one of their best friends round for the afternoon. I was home for a minute before Aj hear my voice and started a mini melt-down. She is becoming particularly clingy around me and I'm finding if difficult to ignore. Whether it is psychosomatic; in the sense that she's my last baby, there's only one this time and I'm being over attentive with her, I just don't know. But I do know it's very draining when you have three additional kiddies to attend too. I know it's me she's crying for as the minute I pay her attention in anyway, she's all smiles and almost full of glee! When I walked down the stairs with her, I talked to her reflection in the mirror and said "look at beautiful little girl - what was all the crying for" and Aj just took to looking round as if to say "Where? Who? Why would they do that?" Little pickle!!

I've had an evening of ironing and now a moment to myself to write today's blip. I'll be back in track very soon & back on full form :oD
