Kidnapping Libby

Last Sunday (during the last week of the school holidays) Granny drove down to Dover and kidnapped Libby (along with Rhiannon and Jocelyn) for a visit with me!  She also took Imogen for a few days (Imogen stayed at Kristy's house with Granny and Astra).  Libby was quite surprised (so was Damien) at the proposition, but I think things went pretty well. 
There was heaps of dressing up.  I haven't managed to make Rhiannon a mermaid costume yet, and she really likes to borrow ours.

Leila is being a super something here, standing on top of the couch in her thigh high stockings a purple leotard (it is on backwards by the way - saggy baggy at the front and not covering enough at the back!).

Hannah got to try on our cow costume too (I had the zip repaired only recently).  This was a gift from Liz.  Looks pretty cute, and it is still pretty big.  We should get a fair bit of wear from it (although Hannah does prefer girly dressups).

It was really nice having company with the basic, everyday jobs.  Jocelyn was a good helper, and seemed to enjoy the company and toys at our house.

Hannah is in the in-between stage of giving up her day time sleeps.  She got oversensitive and grotty, but wouldn't go to bed, so I made her a nest with a hot water bottle behind the couch in the Lounge room.  It worked.
