Take a peek at what we've done this week!

Phew! It's been a busy week. We've had lots of fun and have been loving the summer weather!!!

This week we have...

Taken Heidi on her first trip to IKEA

Built a scarecrow (still need the straw to complete him!)

Watched Heidi get excited about seeing herself in the mirror for the first time

Worked on our Bug Hotel - nearly finished!

Baked Bestamor's Apfelkuchen... this is going to be featured on House of Smith's in the next couple of weeks - watch this space!

Got lots of smiles from Heidi-Hi

Worked in the garden with Nanny

Had sister fun

Cleared out Mama's Craft room

Watched our Bubba sleeping peacefully - thanks Ellie for lending us the Newborn seat - Heidi loves it!

Movie night - "Happy Feet" was on TV!

There were also a few moments we didn't catch on camera...
- Rescuing Ava from her cot - you can read about that here!
- The many tantrums - favourite phrase at the moment "I do it! I do it!" A good test of my patience!
- Fab Bible Study on Wednesday - so encouraged by you girls (you know who you are!)
- Starbucks with Kelly from Nuffnang
- Visiting Uncle Hans and Auntie Jo in their lovely new house
- Bike rides!!

A jam-packed week! But we had lots of reasons to be cheerful as you can see!
