Hooray hooray it's the holi-holi-days !!!

After counting down the days, Sophie got up today and announced "yay, it's a 1 and a 5 so it's only one more day until the Easter bunny and now there's no more school". Looks like she's got the calendar thing all sussed out !!!

She's even managed to reconcile all the different Easter traditions she's heard about. Mum says it's the Easter bunny who brings the eggs, Dad says it's the bells (they go to Rome and pick them up) and the teacher said they fall from the sky. So Sophie worked it out - the Easter bunny throws them up in the air, they bounce off the bells and fall down to the ground. That's one smart cookie !!!

We went to Picwic today and got a few bits to keep her occupied - bubbles and 1 metre of playdough !!! Plus two pairs of new shoes because the others were worn out.

Heehee the box is even taller than me !!

Look at my cool new pink baseball boots !!

Well I suppose that's one answer to "go and put your old shoes away please" !!!

The circus came to town

General — Posted by cheryl @ 13:19

We went to the circus zoo last weekend (oops the week's run away again and I haven't had a chance to get on my blog). It's a total bargain because it's only €2 per person to visit the animals in their cages, whereas the circus show is over €20 each, and if you time it right, you get to see the last-minute rehearsals anyway !!!

The poor thing was crashed out until the trainer came and hissed something at him in German and he woke up !!

Wow they've even got a unicorn and a pegasus ... oops I mean a Barbie magic horse (Sophie was impressed !!!)

A little monkey - oops wrong photo

This one got shackles instead of a silly hat for some reason (probably something to do with the size of his tusks and the fact that these elephants trundled inches away from us to get to the big top minutes after this photo was taken !)
