Smiley Saturday time again. If you want to join in then click on the Smiley Saturday link above and head over to Lightenings to enter your Smiley Saturday link.
Lots of little things to smile about.
1. Picking Heidi up from Kinder I said to her “I missed you” and she said “I missed you too”. Her responsive language is just leaping along.
2. Annie’s birthday was heaps of fun and we spread the celebrations out over a few days which made it even more fun.
3. I got some stitching done. 
Which has helped ease the pain of my job a little.
I’ve been working hard to ignore this
and this
so I can do something I enjoy for a little while. And I’m smiling because of the wonderful support from my blogging friends about not enjoying my job.
5. I locked myself out of the house on Thursday and went to visit my SIL to get a spare key. She offered to babysit for me so that I got an hour to myself. Wonderful, a mistake turned into something very special. Sure I used the time to wash dishes and cleaning the living room but I could do it all with my music on at top volume.
6. Grandy the Gorilla is visiting us - he usually lives at Annie’s kinder. Last night Annie had many nightmares, all about the cookie monster. Grandy, DRD #5, Charlie the Doll and Annie’s WWE pillowcase helped protect her from the cookie monster.

Great progress on your stiching: you are almost done
Do you think the gorilla scared the WWE guys?
You are so lucky to have such a great family
You should have crossed that road and forget yourself in the mall 
Have a happy sunday !!!
Comment by chiloe May 3, 2008 @ 7:48 amI’m participating this week (for the 1st time) in Smiley Saturday (at Small Reflections) and found your link at Lightening Online. I love ‘serendipity’ … so # 5 ‘resonates’ with me and I’m happy for you that you had time to get some things done while enjoying your music.

Does that gorilla do house calls?
Comment by Barbara May 4, 2008 @ 8:22 amChiloe - I’m almost finished the calendar - woo. Still have to do the little hangers for each day, plastic canvas, yuck.
Not sure if the gorilla scared the WWE guys or vice versa.
Storyteller - thank you for visiting and welcome to Smiley Saturday. #5 was a great smiley thing to happen (and I just noticed I seem to have skipped #4 totally :grin
Barbara - He doesn’t do house calls sorry. Kids are funny creatures with their nightmares. Usually I can convince Annie that the cookie monster is too busy eating the cookies in the kitchen to go into her bedroom.
