'You're twistin' my melon man'

Here we are, hey it's almost summer, should i bring out the old 'what happened to global warming' line. No? OK

4 x 2

Not content with one celebration maud invited her chums round for a bun fight, which also meant more presents of course.

Henny carefully watches over her stuff, count 'em out and count them in again.

more cake...

which made it remarkably quiet considering there were so many kids here.

how about this for a dream present, a real, yes real, princess dress.

F is for IV

For those that don't know, life actually begins at 4. Fact.
So with great anticipation, coupled with a daily countdown, the day eventually came - Maud M.T. Conibear age 4.
Now i'll get my excuses in early with this one, it's not easy capturing a geared up birthday girl who is bouncing off the walls high on the thrill of actually understanding what a birthday is all about. But here is the 'best' of what we managed.
I also forgot to document todays weather just so we can look back in years to come and show that yes we did used to get snow on Maud's birthday.
The snow is still here and it's time it wasn't. Bah.

We managed a sneaky present before i had to go to work and Maud to nursery to celebrate with her friends.

Back from a taxing day at nursery it was time for more visitors (uncle Trond just happened to be in town) and of course presents.

Snazzy hand made outfit courtesy of who else but Mormor, Maud's dress kind of breaks up the overall effect but you get the idea.

yeah that's right indoctrinate them early just so they expect to get jewellery every birthday for the rest of their lives.



and here we see this years nursery crown, pink natch.



and cake, yeah OK it's a wooden one, but went down a storm.





No we didn't forget you Henny, but it appears we did forget to wipe your nose. (this is what photoshop is for i guess)



and to end a long celebratory day the cake finally comes into focus.

Seems happy enough to be 4

Super G (and T)

1 month and a few days is nothing in the age of man but unfortunately this is blog world and one month and a few days here is an entire aeon. Sorry.

Your screens, well probably maybe mostly ours over here in 'we love snow land', will soon be filled with hour upon hour of winter olympic sport type stuff.
Grandma will unfortunately not be in the British bobsleigh team but maybe she should be.... check this the original super G. - faster than a speeding bullet and then some.




Uncle Tim shows how truly fearless he really is.

Winter break

January saw G&T make another trip to Oslo, this of course means the girls get to tire grandma out with thier demanding schedule, plenty of reading,

footbal practice in a newly aquired kit direct from Manchester.

plenty of monkeying around

and as we've seen before, snow time.
