Monopolising the bouncy castle

We went to Susan's birthday party and had a great time. It was fun because she invited both of us and Mammy got to be there for the whole thing too. And Susan has a great house and different toys to us in her playroom and a double buggy for her dolls and best of all she had a bouncy castle in her garden.

It was a busy bouncy castle, specially when her Daddy came out to play there because he pretends he is a monster trying to catch us all. You should hear the screaming that causes!

Anyway at some stage everyone else got distracted by something quiet like lego. But not us...

So, you might remember that back in March we planted some flowers. And the best ones were sunflowers. We didn't know how sunny it would be beside the wall. But it turns out it's a good place for sunflowers. They grew until they were as big as me, then grew until they were as big as Ella, then they grew until they were as big as Mammy and then they grew until they were as big as Daddy. But they didn't stop there. They just kept growing and growing. The one at the front of the house was so big it fell over and we couldn't keep it up. But in the back garden, they liked to look over Elma's wall and back again. We're going to harvest seeds now and try again next year...
