trust her...

To spoil the surprise.  I knew that Twittering woman would get me in trouble.  Remind me never to Tweet Mrs McMuffin's friends again.

surprise

I'm sorry to destroy Mr McMuffin's surprise, but I am so excited about him buying the new Dell.  I can't wait to have my own tiny machine to play on while he's watching something very boring on TV, or playing on his laptop.  Happy Mother's Day to me, this is his best present to me ever.

And talking of surprises, the Carrot Cakes have shocked me, but I shan't share yet.  Just like the Dell mini, some things are best kept between ourselves for the moment.

shock...horror

My parents have been reading our blog.  Somehow or other they were able to piece together things that I had said to different people and found the blog.  Not sure how I feel about it really, but it is a bit like they were reading my mail.  There is something intrusive about them reading the blog without having been invited, even though the blog is public and I invite complete strangers (or at least one stranger) to read it every day.  Mrs McMuffin isn't too happy either.  I guess we need to think about this a bit more.

some photos of my beautiful children

Babycake was obsessing about being a Sea Otter so we got some face paints for him.  Mrs McMuffin turned out to be a dab-hand with the old paints.  This is only her second effort.  Ms Ginger Cake has suggested that she is wasted in Social Work and should have a stall in a shopping centre.  I'm not so sure that is such a big compliment myself.

The look of joy.  This is Cupcakes first go on a swing and, as you can see, she loved it.

I took Babycake for a haircut today.  While I was there I thought I would get Cupcake's straggly mess trimmed a little.  She now looks lovely.  Unsurprisingly, Mrs McMuffin is not very happy that I had her hair cut without her.  She claims to have liked all the straggly, looked like a bad comb-over, hair that she had.  By the way, Cupcake is sitting in the fantastic chair thingy that Mrs McMuffin got the other day.  It just slides over the top of an ordinary chair.  It's great and Cupcake loves it.

This is just a lovely photograph.  The light was just right and, believe it or not, I took the photo with my iPhone which takes very nice photos in the right light.
