happy birthdays*

each year i always have these 3 birthdays to celebrate – one in october, another in november, the other in december. the birthday girls are zoe, nisha, maisie – in order.


this year, zoe has turned 7 and she’s homeschooled, or i’d rather say unschooled. she decided that herself. if she were in school still, she’d be a first-grader. anyway, school has changed her somehow, but now we’ve got her back. What else i could ask for more!


nisha has turned 5 this year. she decided that she would like it if she could celebrate at school with her friends. we brought the cake over to school and let her have great fun there. i think i’m one of those parents who aren’t bossy about and i’m so sure my kids would appreciate it more with the way we treat them.

anyway, early in the morning she opened birthday cards and presents from us.



and my cheeky monkey, maisie, has turned 3 this year. she seemed to grow up so very fast. and i can’t believe how proud of her i am, yes..in every way. she got her favourite character as one of the birthday presents. well, her birthday this year was pretty special as grandma came to stay with us for 3 weeks, hmm actually Christmas-wise. anyway, she had another day off school to visit the national science museum.



i have a lot more blogs coming up as i missed it sooo so much. xoxo
