Baptismal Bliss

My little angles were firing on all cylinders today. We had a lovely time on Sunday - Rebekah was baptised at our church by Barry, Mark's Godfather from England. It was a beautiful ceremony, and it was so special that Barry could do it. We missed Dave (Bekah's Godfather), however we know he was there is spirit. Caitlin (God Mummy) did the most spectacular job organising the music, and all the Haywood family did such a lovely job helping out with all the details. The weather was beautiful so we were able to have cake and nibbles a gorgeous park where the kids ate copious amounts of junk and ran wild for a few hours.
Maria was fascinated by water being poured over Bekah's head and asked if being baptised was a special way to wash little baby's hair.
Samuel was quite wild during the mass as usual. At the park I caught him wandering around with a lolly in each hand and his pockets stuffed with jelly snakes.
Bekah looked so beautiful in her lovely little white dress and pink bow. She was so sweet and despite having an attack of the tireds during the mass, coped very well with her big day.

After such a lovely, huge weekend, the little ones have been very tired. Today we had a rest day and splashed in puddles, watched movies and generally wreaked havoc as usual. Maria is a little confused and calls Bekah 'Rebekah Cake'. Samuel mixes up the words to Bob the Builder and instead of saying 'working together they get the job done' he sings 'working together they get the doctor.'
They both are into 'toilet words' at the moment - I am constantly reminding them that toilet words stay on the toilet. This gets confusing for them when on some shows people sing 'bum-bum-bum'. They giggle and say "Mum!! Playschool is singing toilet words!!" I've had to explain that a drum says bum-bum and that it isn't a toilet word. However, they have cottoned on and often say "You're a bum bum head! Bum bum like a drum mum not the toilet word!!"
Will have to get around to posting pics - have some really gorgeous ones.
