Ever since Emma got a book out of the library called 'Choosing Day' - by Jennifer Beck she has been desperate for me to try on my wedding dress and show her! In this book the Mummy spends a whole day in her wedding dress - shopping etc... Emma was delighted to see me in my dress which is stored at Grandma's place. It doesn't quite fit like it once did - but I was happy to get the zip up all the same even if it was sitting in the wrong place!! Emma also wanted to put on her favourite blue/white check dress so that she could be my bridesmaid. I guess dressing up is still lots of fun for me too!! - I didn't risk the zip by going shopping though!!

Butterfly Creek

I loved the school holidays... The first week was a bit of a bore for Em - with me having scans & blood tests galore (for fertility stuff that didn't work this month anyway!!) Oh well so I thought I had better make it up to my darling daughter in the second week. So we had lots of fun trips and playdates. One of my favourite places that we hadn't been to in ages is Butterfly Creek. This has a very hot tropical butterfly house with hundreds of butterflies flying round and doing there thing. It also has a pettting farm - always a hit to hold a baby bunny! And the cafe & playground are lovely too. We went with my friend Diane and her daughters Grace & baby Abbey. Emma & Grace have a lovely love/hate relationship they're great friends but they know how to push each other's buttons too! Oh well this particular day was great. Emma's other treat for the holidays was buying the Madagascar DVD - and if you see her she'll be sure to ask you... "Do you like Madagascar??" She asks her one year cousin everytime she sees him!
