On Friday night Becky went to a sleepover at her friends house so it was just Stu, Ellie and myself.....
Throughout the day Ellie was rather upset that Becky was going to the sleepover and just couldn't/wouldn't understand why she wasn't going too.....We'd explained that it was Becky's friend and her friends mum would have her hand full with the other people at the sleepover too.....Ellie was rather grumpy about the whole thing.....We decided she needed a treat to cheer her up....
4pm came and Becky was picked up and we started to discuss what we were having for tea.....We asked Ellie what she wanted and of course she said McDonalds....So McDonalds it was....That was of course after a trip to Asda where she got a doll, Fireman Sam DVD and some sweets....Spoilt rotten she is!!
She had a long play in the bath and stayed up late playing with her new doll and eating her sweets....When she finally went to bed she had her own sleepover in Becky's bed.....but Shh! Nobody tell Becky....hehehe
Saturday Becky came home.....For all of 10 minutes....She was off out again with her friend and her friends mam to a Zoo where she had a great time!! Ellie and I spent the day in the kitchen baking!!
We baked fairy cakes, carrot cake, scones, chocolate cake, cream egg brownies and pizza!! We had a lovely day and for tea we ate far too much of the pizza and cakes.....Totally enjoyed them though!!

ReplyDeleteLovely idea about the sleepover - I must try that sometime!

DeleteLovely post. So nice to spend time with one on their own sometimes, but so difficult to achieve! Glad you both had such an enjoyable time.
