Eve playing with the Leapfrog Farm
A Leapfrog Farm arrived in the post for Eve, from Uncle Jon, Liz and Lottie on Friday evening. She's had a great time playing with it this weekend. 'Old Macdonald' is one of her favourite songs. She loves owls and cows and is very keen at turning light switches on and off - so this toy has been a big hit with her.
Sam was up before me and Eve on Saturday morning to get the train to London to take part in a Samplethon at Metropolis Studios.
He had been selected with 19 other sample based producers from across the UK.
Metropolis Studios started hosting Whosampled.com Samplethon for the first time in 2014 and it seems to be going from strength to strength.
Sam said it was an intense day but a good challenge. He had a great time talking to like-minded producers working alongside him, and judges who included; Roni Size, Ollie Teeba from the Herbaliser, and Breakage.
Sam said the studios are completely amazing. So many of the greats from across the decades have recorded there. I'm glad that Sam had the chance to experience and be part of such a cool event.
Meanwhile at home, I was pottering about in the kitchen, when Eve came running out of the lounge shouting, 'Mummy, Aliens, Moon!' Q Pootle 5 had begun on tv. After the show, she came in to the kitchen to have fun with play dough. I was still busy cleaning. After a while Eve looked at me and held up her play dough creation for me to see. She said, 'Mummy, Moon.' I loved that she had made craters in her play dough moon, it wasn't just a ball. Good attention to detail I thought.

During the afternoon as it was stormy we stayed indoors and decorated a gingerbread man. It was quite a hard biscuit, and Eve was a bit cross about it at first. But shortly she got on board with it and loved eating the pieces that I broke off for her.
As it started getting dark on Saturday afternoon, I found 'Annie' on Sky and put it on for Eve. I wasn't sure if it would hold her attention. I fast forwarded to some of the big show tunes and she just loved it. I shed a few happy tears, seeing her excitedly dancing about. For so many years I thought that I might never have a baby; decorating gingerbread men and watching 'Annie' with Eve are what my dreams are made of. And although we missed Daddy greatly, it was nice to spend quality time with my girl. We played and had cuddles throughout the day, which was a real treat.
'Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I Love Ya, Tomorrow!'
