Chloe Poppins

Today, Sophie (Princess Elizabeth) had a TEA PARTY with Claire (Princess Pipsqeak), otherwise known as Princess Pip. I did not know that this party was going on here today, until I walked down the very quiet hallway and was greeted with this….

Princess Pip made her debut moments later in the computer den.

I was told that modesty prevented the Princess Pip from being able to wear her “gown” as intended. It was too risky. It might slip down. So, she wore a lovely white turtleneck and pink play pants under her party gown… just in case the party headed outside.

As the ball worn on, Princess Pip was seen to give Princess Elizabeth a BIG love.

And sporting the “trademark” pouty lips……

Well, I’m a day late. Better late than never!! Yesterday was my 38th birthday and I was more than adequately spoiled by Mark and the children. Mark even took the day off to spend it with us here. What a nice Mark! For those of you who sent cards and well wishes, many thanks. It was a lovely sunny day until the rains came in the evening.

Just in case you’re not sure (smile), I’m the taller one. Claire is in pink.

We were very busy, and very sick, for much of October.  While we were well though, we made really good use of our time.  Here are some photos of some of the fun.  We had quite the assortment of costumes on display here.  A cowboy (who actually won the costume contest), an Indian Princess, a petite ballerina, and … Darth Sam, I mean Darth Vader.

The art of carving the pumpkin is not lost!

Yikes!
