A birthday weekend

My littlecub turned 5 on Saturday, and it was so strange because she was born on a Saturday. I kept feeling echoes of the day of her birth, even tho life is so different now. Not least because she is a middle cub now, and so spritelike and adorable around her tinycub baby brother. And I start to see shades of her elegant bigcub big sis, all grown-up at 10, travelling the world and sensible and serious. Yeah right, she has a streak of silly a mile wide in her too!
So Saturday was quiet to start and builds up to more activity.
Sunday was busier from the start but not stressful either.
Saturday:
Good: how littlecub takes time to examine and if possible play with each gift as it is unwrapped, no rushing to see what's next.
Bad: bigcub a bit spiteful, having gotten used to more attention when away recently
Notable: fabulous meal out at local Hiunanese place.
Sunday:
Good: Taste of India, bigcub serving again, making progress on finding a date for tinycub's Christening.
Bad: hearing of a friend's dog being savaged, rain when we want to be out in sun, realising I have a missing usb stick.
Notable: abba in Hindi, chilli chips, Thums Up, circussy installation play.

apologies for hiatus

Life, nosy baby, desire to feed on demand etc. Sadly blogs get last priority.
So here we are a week of Easter hols done.

Good: Woburn Safari Park, Little Cub and the BabyCub, PapaWolf and me. Lovely day out. Leaping lemurs, sneaky squirrel monkeys, dinner at Giraffe.

Bad: depression rears it's ugly head in the family again, BabyCub teethes and fevers. BigCub went away to Singapore, unnaccompanied, I was all choked, she was fine and is having a whale of a time (OK, that's good, but I feel sad too!)

Notable: Boyden's Kitchen opened. Great cafe, food, people, activities planned, it's just what the area has been needing, I am really excited about it!

So, what were your Good/Bad/Notables? Comment and share...
