Kids make friends so easily. Em and the little blondie never even met before today but they hit it off in about two seconds.

I mean, it wasn't the world's most peaceful friendship -- I glanced away for like a second and they started fighting or something, and the other boy run up to his mum and started to tattle that Em had done something or other, I'm not actually sure what, I just know that I got instantly mad that he was accusing my baby. And I was just about to say something, but before I could do more than open my mouth the other mum said, "Matthew (or whatever his name was) you need to solve your own problems. If you don't like what he's doing, ask him to stop."

I was so surprised that I completely forgot to say anything, and it's a good thing I didn't because this is what happened next:

Matthew-or-whatever turned to Em, who'd followed him back over to us, and said very clearly, "Please not do that to me."

Em said, "Okay."

And they went right back to playing.

The moral of the story is, adults ruin everything. Or they can ruin everything or make everything better depending on how they use their powers. Point is kids are awesome.

Kids are also a fantastic excuse to buy amazing dresses, aka everyone is going to the youth league gala this weekend right, aka I will be the prettiest of all the princesses at the ball, just watch me.

Despite the hangover and the not-enough-sleep and all of it, I regret nothing.

Well, maybe the bit where we woke them up. Maybe got a bit too loud there. (But really, like we can be blamed.)

Sorry about him jumping on you in the morning. Four year olds don't know the meaning of hangover, apparently. Still. Better you than me?

Who: Corrie and Alex.
Where: Prides Practice Session.
When: Wednesday, Sept 10th.
What: Alex is a little concerned with some tensions he's noticed between Corrie and Gaius.
Warnings: None.

( Alex knew all too well that even the relationships built on the most solid foundations cracked and sometimes crumbled. )

Sophie, when asked what she wants for her birthday party, informed me that she wants it to have "fowers" and "boom." I guess that's what you get when you ask a not-quite-two-year-old her opinion.

Well, it took a little more pressing than that. She doesn't quite get the idea of birthday parties or birthdays period but we're working on that. I had to ask her, if she could have anything in the world on a very special day that's all for her, what she would want to do and have. And then she said "fowers" and "boom." And then she started singing nonsense to herself. Hopefully we can get some more ideas out of her, or that's not going to be a very interesting party for everyone else.

Em has offered to "translate," but his translations seem more like things a four-and-a-half-year-old little boy would like. Very odd, that.

(By the way, Rory -- consider this your one-month reminder! Don't make me break out more poutypictures to remotivate you!)

No party this week? Shame.

I swear to Merlin if this week's Stupid Show isn't Chambers I will do some serious property damage.

I bloody hate those late matches. That's the only reason he was able to even tap me. But at least the kids weren't watching it. Talk about small mercies.

Yep. Way to show everyone how it's really done.

Lot of birthdays this time of year, aren't there? I thought September was supposed to be the biggest time for it, nine months from Christmas and all. What happened nine months from now, Bonfire Night? Are your parents all really into fire or what?

Hello, most gorgeous man in the world. Do you know any good books on security charms? Any super old ones in your absurdly old family? I'm thinking we could use a brush up.

Also I realized something.

How are kids so sticky? I swear, they haven't had a sticky thing to eat all day. It's like they sweat jam.
