Gardening Weekend & Visit from Alessandra!

Max and I finally tackled the garden this weekend. This makes me want to squeal 'yay' whenever I think about it!

We weeded, filled in the bunny warrens, picked up lots of dead leaves and bits of rubbishy cardboard and planted some new plants we bought from our local garden centre. Max also mowed the lawn for the first time with his lawn mower my Mum bought him last year!

My Dad came round too on sunday to give us a lovely wooden outside table and 8 chairs which he got for free from work, it is very fabulicious and we are very grateful! I cannot wait until the weather gets warm and we can BBQ away! We have never had our own BBQ before in our garden so this is a very exciting event.

Tallulah is 6 months old today, Wow, this is amazing and something that I find hard to sink in! She is the most awesome little person and I can't even remember life before her, what did I even do with my time hehe?

She is sitting up awesomely on her own and plays really sweetly and cutely with her toys, I find this totally amazing! Tallulah gives me so much joy, it is such a pleasure being her Mummy! Her favourite things to play with at the moment are little teething toys, board books, anything colourful and crinkly and the television remote!
I love the way her little hands reach out, the way her fingers fan out to grab the thing that she wants, can't resist kissing her ALL the time...heh!

Dra came to visit us today! Yay! She arrived all fresh and breezy this morning after catching the train and walking! I was so excited to see her and spend the day just us (and miss tallulah!). Tallulah and I were still in our PJ's and we made fried eggs and beans on toast yum yum, with fresh coffee! We decided on having a foody eating day, we finished off some chocolate cupcakes I made a few days ago and Dra started watching my New Moon Dvd while T and I got dressed. Ahh the joys of Twilight, I could watch/read it over and over again! We had a lovely chilled day watching crap on tv (which we do when we get together because our other halves don't really want to watch it with us!) and eating chocolate hot cross buns and lots of cups of tea! Tallulah got lots of special attention from Dra which she loved! We then went to the chip shop haha and got chips and pineapple fritters! Tallulah had a little nap so we spread out on the sofa and chomped our way through those! Then some cadburys mini eggs! We did some dancing about to the ipod and I made some fairy cakes for a friend's baby shower tomorrow....shhhhh secret squirrel! It is such a pleasure just being the company of Dra, we just click on the perfect level and there is nothing to hide! I find myself being so utterly honest about myself with her and it is very refreshing to be silly and completely yourself! We even attempted some yoga on the yoga channel, well Tallulah and I watched Dra haha, my tummy was rather full of chips.

And then she had to go...booo! But she came back very soon last time so hopefully it won't be too long until we get to be together soon! I want to go up to Derby and visit when the weather gets warmer, yes yes yes!
