The other half of the most energetic and crazy set of twins is turning 4 today.  They were getting a kick out of telling everyone yesterday that while Pickles is 4, Lola is still 3 (since their birthdays are on different days).

"Lola the Dancer", as she renamed herself upon our descent on Anguilla, actually is quite an amazing dancer and those of you that have seen the "Lola dance" know what kind of unforgettable experience it is.
For those of you that haven't seen it, I promise to upload a video of it one day.



Lola is an amazing artist and has an extremely advanced sense of humour that keeps those around her laughing a lot.  She LOVES, LOVES, LOVES drama and will make sure there is always something going on, weather that is good drama (see above right) or bad drama (see above left) is not that important to her.

Lola likes to charm people into getting stuff for her that she knows full well she's not allowed to have.  This has  resulted in the creation of her very unusual haircut - her Lola-mullet, and unusual clothing designs - with marker flowers and holes etc.



Lola loves dolls, especially pink and frilly one's and Lola is also quite resourceful, so in the absence of having any pink and frilly dolls when we first moved here, she resorted to adopting "coconut babies" - dried out coconuts which there are plenty of around the island.  That's her putting sun-glasses on her coconut baby above, on the left. 

While Lola is our only child that is able to play on her own for hours at the time, she is by no means a quiet child, and has actually THE LOUDEST voice of anyone (yes, anyone, even Explora) in the house.
Lola is an exceptional singer with an amazing voice, and frequently makes up her own lyrics, especially to David Chicken songs. 

Happy 4th Birthday Lola, the Dancer!
