Let me start by telling you that today is a special day, because it's Uncle Mike's Birthday, and to wish him a very Happy Birthday!!! Many many happy returns, and we hope you have a most wonderful
Today we also went to the Build-a-Bear, (we had some generous coupons from Uncle Michael, and his family in New Zealand to use) and chose some special animals; so today is also a Birthday of two lovely new creatures.
The oldest went first, she knew exactly which animal she wanted, she had a particular black cat in mind, she stuffed it just enough to make him soft and cuddly... Then she took a heart, made a wish, rubbed it on her forehead to make it clever, rubbed it on her cheek to make it cheeky, then kissed it to give it all her love, and put it inside a kitty-cat. Gigi was born first, but only minutes before Hedwig, for our little one loves Owls, big ones, small ones, Barn owls, Great Grey ones, Elf owls, Screeching ones... So owl it was, a young Snowy owl.
She also chose a heart, made a wish, filled it up, and decided that her owl is going to be a rock star, so she went for a guitar and an mp3 player, after informing me that there was no point in spending money on dressing it up, since I could sew the clothes for her... Ok, I like the trust in her Mother's abilities. Nice.
The certificate of birth were printed, the babies packed nice and snug and off we went to our new adventures.
It turned out that mp3 player of the owl is playing music... and it's a girl. It's basically a rock chick owl... Taylor Swift Owl. What a hoot!
Now for the challenge of sewing a ball gown fit for Taylor...Owl.
The first animal is ready for the ball in her polka dot, or as our kids call it Olga-dot dress... The second dress is all ready, and waiting for the dd to pose with it tomorrow. And for today it's goodnight from us, and it's good night from cat and owl. Good night, and thank you to our Aunt and Uncle from New Zealand, and the cousins! Hope you are enjoying your summer!
