A loaded question

Hannah came wandering into the room the other day. Maybe I’m only saying this with benefit of hindsight, but I’m sure I was aware of Lauren hovering just outside the door.

“Daddy,” said Hannah, “what would you rather have had: girls or boys?”

Well there’s only one way you can answer a question like that, and Hannah knew it.

“Ooh, boys,” I said, dreamily. “It’d be great! Just think, we could watch Star Wars every day, we could…”

“You’re fired!” said Hannah, spun round and strutted out of the room, where she and Lauren proceeded to fall about chuckling.

Pink, glorious pink

There’s a reason this blog is pink. I wonder if you can work out what it is whilst looking at this photo of Hannah and Lauren decorating their bedroom today…

Ready… steady…

GO!

Mmmmm is for Milkshake

Hannah and Lauren are on school holidays this week so today, in a break from preparing to decorate their bedroom pink, we made some milkshake. (Are you perhaps seeing a colour theme developing here?)

The girls had to hold still while I fussed with my camera for ages, so by the time I was ready and said “Go!” they drained the glass in under ten seconds.
