Today Holly Turned 5.  I swear that she woke up and decided she was going to act 10 years older!  We all had pancakes for breakfast together (Bill Grangers ricotta pancakes recipe - delish!),   Holly was so sweet opening her presents, we gave her a watch which she had been hinting at, and Harry gave her a pair of shoes, and Lucy a book.   Then Holly, Harry, Lucy and I met Grandma at the hospital where I had my 4 week check up (all positive), We then met Mia, Indie and  Piper at the Tivoli Theatre for this seasons pantomime - There was an old woman who lived in a shoe!  It was very funny and we laughed and sang and ate fairy bread for just over an hour.

Grandma and Pa came for dinner.  I asked Holly what she would like for dinner - completely her choice, and she chose chicken drumsticks, salad and chips, and cupcakes for desert!  She then spend the rest of the evening entertaining us with tap dancing, river dancing and singing! All in all a "great birthday" in her words.

Holly has been coming out with some cracking comments lately. 

Today her word of the day was Frustrated.  She must have used it, in context, at least 8 time, just on the way home from the theatre! 

The other day very innocently, after being at the pool with Grandma, she said, "Did you know Grandmas boobs point down .... but yours point up? " - luckily Grandma has a thick skin and hopefully won't mind me repeating that one!

On Monday when our gorgeous cleaner Anna was here she headed out the front for a cigarette (Anna not Holly!)  Holly quizzed her on where she was going, Anna reluctantly said she was going to smoke, Holly shocked but not missing a beat said " they are really bad for you"

Anna - replied with a spiel along the lines of, never smoke, they are addictive, don't ever touch them,

Holly     -  after thinking about that then said "So why do they sell them?" 

Anna     -Money, the government makes lots of money from them

ME         - Holly you should write to the Prime Minister and tell her to stop selling them!

Holly     - Ok Mummy, I will send Julia Gillard a letter and Tell her ..... she then stopped to    think for a minute and said ... "Mummy and Daddy like Tony Abbot (not quite true!), but I really like Julia Gillard, so I think I will send her a letter!

Im still not sure how she became a Labour voter???
