'Oh, Sweet Child of Mine'

I found Lillie tucked up in my bed on Wednesday morning. She was in study mode, with her library art books purposely placed, paper on her lap and pencil in hand, while watching the Cbeebies channel! She looked ever so focused and made it crystal clear to me that she did not want to be disturbed!! From this to...

... to this later in the afternoon!

The start of a painting...

The finished product - it's a coastal picture of Lillie by the caravan she stayed in last weekend. She's going to give this to her Daddy next weekend...

There are several occasions throughout the year, where Lillie likes to suprise her cuddle companion, Willa with a birthday celebration! So, after Lillie's painting session on Wednesday, she got busy with wrapping up presents for Willa. Lillie was ever so excited and also found some birthday banners to put up on her bedroom wall, all ready for Thursday's celebrations! What a lucky little rabbit, Willa is...

Thursday morning's celebrations commenced...

Some lovely presents for Lillie to help Willa open...

We dont mind that it's Christmas wrapping paper!!

A lovely shell for Willa to use as a hat!!

You can't not have a birthday kiss, Willa!!

Yesterday was Lillie's last Girls' Brigade meet before their Sports Day tomorrow. As far as I know from what Lillie has told me, she has entered a running race. So. lots of love and luck to her! All the girls have been asked to wear purple, as their team colour - Phew! Thank goodness Lillie has a t-shirt that's purple, or we might have had to take a trip to the high street today! Lillie also made a lovely Father's Day card and picture at GB, which I'm sure her Daddy will be delighted with.

Today has been quite relaxed, we made a short trip to the shops to buy some goodies for tonight's England v Algeria game. A few other jobs have been done and Lillie has continued being creative with her art books and drawings. She is copying some pictures from one book as she says, 'practice makes perfect!' I wonder who she gets that expression from?!! She's busy with tidying up her things now, while dinner cooks. We are really looking forward to getting settled in time for the footie. Fingers X'd, we get 3 points tonight. Well, I guess that's it for now. Time for the weekend's activities to commence... C'mon England!
