This week we looked after Harper's friend Evie while her mum, Jess,  went to work.  As always Jess was so thankful, but really I needed to pour all of the thanks back to her. Not only is Evie an absolute delight to look after but the two girls played beautifully together for most of the day, making our day very easy. You see, independent play isn't one of Harper's strengths. She's a social creature and sitting by herself with her toys just doesn't cut it. She craves interaction and someone else's presence (usually mine). Today meant that Harper had a playmate (and one who would indulge her love for imaginary fairy/princess play, unlike her brother) and I got a little breather.

{we invited Lily & Eli over for a Friday night sleep over. Oh what fun (and limited sleep) they had!}

{Friday night is movie night in our family. Lily and Eli were happy to be involved in this weekly tradition, especially the part where they were allowed to eat their dinner in front of the TV}

{you're getting very, very sleepy.......well not really. It was 2.5 hours after this shot that you actually fell asleep}

{the next morning Eli was engrossed in outdoor play. He kept turning to me announcing "I am VERY busy!" Yes you were little buddy. }
