Bath Time

Mercedes had her first real bath this afternoon, in the bathroom sink. She seemed to enjoy it and I wish I could have taken pictures but I forgot to gear myself with the camera and an extra set of hands. She is now wearing a nice little cotton shirt and enjoying some afternoon tea. She has been a good girl today, enjoying both her waken and sleeping time and I am sure she would have laughed when she decided to poop on me while I was changing her nappy.

note : Jade and Erin helped bathe her while Miranda chose to watch cartoons

Today has been a good but busy one. We started off the morning with pancakes, then it was out to clean out the pool before hubby headed to a client (I needed his help to drain the last water from it). Then it was time for me to do the small amount of work I had to do for a client before appeasing the girls with lunch of peanut butter and nutella sandwiches, accompanied by a little bit of left over pasta and grated cheese. With lunch out of the way I tried to get the girls interested in some colouring in while I rested. This lasted for a little while until the younger two thought it was hilarious to play with daddy's stick deodorant.
I went back to bed but the phone rang. It was mum. She rang to tell me that my uncle peter was engaged to a nice Fijian woman. I have the chance of meeting her tomorrow if I get my timing right.
There was to be no more rest after this so I tidied up the lounge for my hubby who has a business meeting tonight, bathed Mercedes and now am feeding her. After this short break I shall get to afternoon tea for the girls, hanging out the laundry, getting another load started, take out the rubbish bins and then, finally, dinner. Somewhere in there I have phonecalls to make, fruit and vege order to receive and confirm the price for, and some more tiding up long with the dishes to be done. (We have a dishwasher...Yah!)
I shall sleep well tonight, inbetween feeds and shall start tomorrow afresh with little to do apart from shop and drop the girls at childcare.
