    Snags...You may think I am a good mum doing christmas cards but the true fact is that Bea dipped her fingers in the paint, smeared it instead of leaving a nice fingerprint and I moaned, she got fed up and I did all of the ones today ;) Sounds about right doesn't it!

    Have started making some bunting though which I am going to give to best friends daughter for the C word. That will be one present down, have bought the 2 boys some pirate stuff already. I will be organised and spend as little as possible :)

    Hehehe, just sounds like normal family life to me hun - I think it's only in films that the well behaved little angels sit there and create masterpieces that you can proudly show off to your friends. :D

    It's the fact you bothered doing it with her that makes you a good Mum, not the finished product.

    Yay well done for making cakes..I love doing cooking with Bea but then I have too much temptation and want to eat them all!

    How you feeling today anyway?

    DD - I love that!! So true!

    When I was a childminder, we used to take it in turns to do activities at other childminders houses, once I set up a whole roll of wall paper in the garden with old washing up bottles full of watered down paint...we stripped the kids down to their pants and let them go wild....most of them couldn't believe they were allowed to make a mess but they loved every second of it....I was lucky with the kids I looked after, their parents were lovely and happy for that sort of mucky play.
