Investigating

I enjoy investigating and there are so many things that I find lying around on the floor. Most of the things belong to Noel, but there are almost as many things belonging to daddy and a few that belong to mummy. Some of the things go bang, some flash and some are simply funny. Today Noel has been very excited about tomorrow. The men will come with their machines to chop down some trees. I wonder if it will be as exciting as Noel thinks or if it will simply ruin my morning nap!

Noel goes away!

On Friday Noel climbed into a big red lorry and drove away with morfar. He was very excited about travelling in a lorry to see mormor and make a cake for mummy's birthday. Tomorrow he will come back with morfar and mormor. I am looking forward to them coming home as it is so quiet here. Today we went shopping but mummy and daddy didn't buy very much. They tried really hard and looked at lots of things. I am sure I will be much better when I get older. Mummy and daddy have been cleaning today and I think Noel is in for a couple of surprises tomorrow when he gets home. I am looking forward to his return.

Noel is going away tomorrow

This weekend I am going to have quality time with mummy and daddy. Noel is going away with morfar in a big red lorry tomorrow. Noel went for a trip with morfar this evening to make sure that his chair fitted properly and to check that Noel liked travelling in a lorry! He did. I woke up early this morning and got daddy out of bed at 5:30. I managed to trick daddy into thinking that it was 6:30! He is so easily tricked. This evening I ate some courgette that mummy had grown in the garden. Soon we will have to eat courgette every day as the plants are producing lots of them.

Pressing flowers with mummy

Mummy has this super cool flower press that you squash flowers in and then put in the microwave to make them dry. This is fun. Once dried I can make cards with them. Now that Autumn is here the flowers in the garden are dying. Soon there will be snow and I can use my winter toys. I found them in the garage at the weekend and wanted to try them on the lawn, but daddy wasn't too keen. He said I had to wait for the snow. Last night morfar arrived and I was allowed to say goodnight to him before I went to sleep. He will come back tonight and then we will play lots and build with my lego.

Opps...berries are soooooo good

This summer I have discovered the delights of berries. There are so many of these red things in the garden and in picnic boxes that I have had the best of summers. In the garden Noel and his friend Nellie spend many hours picking the red currants from the bush in the garden, mummy spends hours inside a cage picking strawberries and daddy keeps asking why his blueberry bush has no fruit! Luckily we found lots in the forest. Yesterday mummy and Noel made a gooseberry pudding with chocolate drops on top. We dug up 20kgs of potatoes at the weekend. I think we will be eating potatoes for a while.

Looking after Greta

Every now and then I help Greta with her development. She is younger than me, smaller and rather funny. We both like bananas. Greta hasn't yet learnt that you need to peel them. This is not difficult, but once achieved the banana is always worth the effort. Greta agrees! This weekend daddy has been in the garden sawing wood for the winter. There was lots of it to chop. It had been drying in the garden since grandpa and grandam came for Christmas before I was born. I always wondered what was hidden at the bottom of the garden. Hopefully this means that we won't get cold this winter.

Summer on the beach

It was warm this weekend and I got to go to the beach with everyone. Mormor, morfar, mummy, daddy, and Noel. We had lots of fun and I got to sit on the sand and eat strawberries. We have lots of these and raspberries and red currants in the garden and I like eating all things red. So far this week I have had mummy to myself in the mornings as Noel had gone to work with daddy. What he does with daddy I have no idea. Oddly mummy and I find him at some place where children play in the afternoon, but we don't find daddy there. I wonder where daddy goes!

Laughing

I have this little sister called Greta and she is funny. I have been laughing lots with Greta this week. She is crawling and almost has it fully sorted, but until then I can laugh as she tries to do things and gets frustrated trying. Not that I ever get frustrated of course...This weekend mormor and morfar stayed over on Saturday night. We had lots of fun. We went swimming in the lake and we played in a big adventure playground. I got to pick lots of strawberries last night and mummy was all excited about her courgettes. Tonight I think we are going to eat them for dinner. I wonder how they will be prepared.

15 litres of strawberries

I love strawberries and mummy has finally realised this. She bought 15 litres last week when we were in town. She said something about then being very cheap. The day was spent making jam, chocolate and strawberry muffins, juice and putting some in the freezer for the winter. Of course I had to eat some when no one was watching. Daddy got carried away yesterday and chopped some branches of a tree that he claimed was in the way of the window. Where the window was going I have no idea, and it is still in our house. This evening I talked to George and Lara. Soon it is bedtime and daisy cow will be over.
