Thankful Thursday

Here at Rose Cottage (or should it be Daisy Fields!) we are thankful for the good weather we have had today.

The babies were out today playing on the lawn and having fun with all the daisies.

Grace and Amelia were busy concentrating...

Baby Barney Bam Bam seems to be climbing all over Alfie 

But they soon become best of friends.

They are all thankful for their newly knitted romper suits, just in time for the warmer weather.

What is this?

What's this?  Thinks Baby

A hat?

For my head?

Could be...

Nope not sure....

Advent 2015 - Day Twenty

There seems to be a bit of a rumpus going on....

Come back you little Scallywag!

I'm going to get you....

Poor Peggy Sue is being run ragged.

There is a trouble afoot....

Gotcha!  With Henry's help they managed to slow the little one down....for a while.

Golly! What has happened to your hair?  Henry asks with surprise in his voice.

The little scamp looks up at him puzzled...not sure what is wrong with his hair.

Never mind...how would you like to open a window today - you might as well now you are here...

They look for window number 20 together.

Peggy Sue points to where it is.

Henry helps hold the little scamp while he opens the window.

Peggy Sue sits down beside him.

Would you like me to help you open the little package?  She asks?

Me do.  Is the reply.

Hmm...I don't think Baby is sure what to make of this.

He tries it on his head....  Nope doesn't fit.

Henry shows him where it goes and explains it is for the sword.

Baby looks at it intently....

Peggy Sue tells the baby all about the legend of King Arthur and the sword in the stone as that is what she was reminded of when she saw it.

Baby listens quietly for a while.....until Peggy Sue suggests it is time to get dressed

...and then he makes his escape!

A bubble wrapped cocoon.

A strange package was brought to the front door today...

...not an envelope, nor a box in sight....

Just plain bubble wrap with some parcel tape wrapped round it

Egg shaped...sort of...

What?!  It moves?  It talks?

Peggy Sue is the first upon the scene and very startled she is indeed.

Stevie arrives next on the scene

What can it be?  Peggy Sue asks

Who knows?  I've never seen something quite like this before.  Stevie replies

It speaks!  How strange indeed.

Henry approaches to see what all the fuss is about.

It is alive Henry.  Can't you see?  The girls tell him.

Henry isn't so sure....

But wait?  Are they noises they can here coming from the bubble wrapped cocoon?

A rescue mission is needed urgently!  

Quick let us get that bubble wrap off! Henry says.

Peggy Sue wastes no more time and starts to rip the plastic off with Stevie & Henry's help.

Suddenly!

What is this we have?

A babe?

Surely not?

They look down on the flailing arms and legs as they try to make contact with something firm.

Eventually....

The babe sits up, looks to his left....

and then to his right....

Coo eee....it is me!

I be free!

Peggy Sue, Stevie & Henry look down in surprise at the little grubby urchin...

Come with me...Peggy Sue leads the way.... a bath is in order for you young man

I wonder how successful she will be in bathing him?  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fortunately no harm came to the little one travelling like this - no box to protect and smooth the way for him...just some bubble wrap and tape to lock him in...it makes you wonder!
