they're both asleep

and I have cut the grass, done a bit of tidying, checked the weather forecast, sorted out the washing and ironed our clothes for tomorrow, as Mr McMuffin returns to work and I no longer have a spare pair of hands. Babycake (unsurprisingly) is becoming more regressed and hard work and the little one (I quite like Shortcake) enjoys cluster feeding, so I am forced to run around after Babycake with her attached to my chest. This is not the most comfortable way to run around. I knew this wasn't going to be easy and I really don't want to hear that it gets harder, as I'm knackered right now! Anyway, they're both lovely children, Mr McMuffin isn't such a bad old stick and I am surviving.

We celebrated my parents' 50th wedding anniversary on Thursday and we all got together except for my brother in law, who was unable to get away from work. It was great to see my big sister and the Niece and Nephew and Babycake thought he was in heaven with new people to entertain and try to boss around. He was very taken with the Nephew and kept trying to isolate him from the herd and keep him as his special playmate forever. Even Gypsy Tart was cast aside (much to her relief and then dismay) in favour of 'Boy' and Mr McMuffin and I had a pleasant few hours while our son demanded nothing from us. Bliss!

We also went to see Sex and the City when Babycake was in nursery and jolly good it was too.
