Today marked one year since we lost J's mom. To mark the day, we went to the small park across the street and released a bouquet of balloons for her. The girls were amazed that we allowed balloons out of their clutches. Earlier they had helped me make elderflower stuffed French toast for breakfast for their mom. Yummy, although sticky...
Afterwards we went to the supermarket, where they sampled a little bit of everything, and then we came home. Earlier we had taken some pictures of them in their new birthday tu-tu's which they love dancing and prancing around in. Unfortunately those get glitter all over the house, along with little bits of fluttery toile. After that they helped me roast a trussed up and brined chicken for supper. While that popped and spattered away on the rottisserie, we watched a ski movie, during which they howled in glee when the saw all the snowy mountains.
Tomorrow is Easter, and the kids have put out carrots for the Easter bunny, and pink bonnets for themselves. We will have some pictures of their new outfits as well tomorrow. If you click the photo, you can see a slide show from today.
