Esteliott was back up to their old tricks.
This next series is called "Fun with Water Bottles". I think only grandmothers and aunts would think this is interesting, so my apologies to the rest of you!
In case those 2 shots didn't satiate you, here's a video.Back at the ranch, we enjoyed a lovely luncheon put on by my illustrious husband, and Esteliott enjoyed a few toys together....
Fransiska brought dessert - here's a photo of one thing she brought, a "Tropezienne". This is the name for this traditional type of cream-filled brioche cake topped with sugar. What you see is one portion CUT IN HALF. Do you know the way to St. Tropez? (harty har)I know the way - it's called go straight at cellulite and take a left at cardiac arrest. But who cares? Man are these DEE-LISH.
In the afternoon the skies opened up and we had a regular thunderstorm with a big downpour. People caught out on the sidewalks were shrieking and running for cover, which is hilarious to watch from 5 stories up. Legos became the past-time for the afternoon:
Check out this windmill complete with terrace that Thomas built looking at a picture on the side of the bucket of Lego's (faithful readers will remember these are vintage 1987 Legos from the church shop).
He can cook AND build with Legos.
Tomorrow I hold down the fort for the first time on my own. Stay tuned. Today went SO SMOOTHLY with everyone napping and eating and doing everything they should right on target that I'm sure the other shoe will fall tomorrow!

No! Don't think that way- you are a fabulous mum, very pulled-together.
Tomorrow will be PERFECT!
You'll probably get 4 loads of laundry washed and hung, make crepes and fresh fruit for lunch, and Estelle will astound you with her knowledge of her times tables. It will be a lovely day!!!
Loved the pictures as always! Grammie wonders if Esteliot ever get tired of being movie stars! Funny giggling. Anna would not eat that dessert because there is not enough chocolate, but we blew the picture up so we could examine every single calorie.
So glad to discover Thomas has a future in windmill building.

p.s. Previous post was obvious satire (except for the part about you being a fabulous mum!!!). Hope you at least get to take a shower.
I'm having internet problems lately, so the only picture that loaded was the one of the cake. It looks amazing.
Thomas can cook and build with legos - I can't wait until he gets here.
Those lego creations are getting more complex each day.
Enjoyed all the pics.
Good luck tomorrow.
How is your day going???
