Seaside Weekend

A perfect last weekend away, before 3 become 4, down at Friar's Cliffe in Mudeford.  

Wave jumping

Lots of baby love from George right now

I think my expression says it all about the temp of the water

Happily George has inherited our love of all things fast and furious!

Easter Bunnies

Easter party, chocolate, egg decorating & games with a few April showers.  Not from the garden sprinkler this year. Still lots of fun. 

I just love the naivety of a 3 year old - George chose his Easter Egg from the shop and saw me bring it in the house - but was still more than happy to believe that the Easter bunny took it for safe keeping and left his chalk paw prints out of the back door to lead him to his chocolate treasure on Easter Sunday. Never a moment of doubt. Oh the magic of childhood.

Daddy had to lead the way in case the easter Bunny was still lurking

Sun Time

Springtime sunshine is so joyous. It always bring such life, energy, play and laughter.  Everything is just so much eeeeeeasier :-)

Mother's Day

My mother's day treat was a day at a spa with some of my oldest friends and a bit of a girlie weekend with no George or Daddy who went for a sleepover at his 'big' cousins. It wasn't really planned that way but was lovely to have some girlie time, although I did miss my boys. There's something about being with friends that you've known forever, well 30 ish years, it's just so, well, easy.

Growing up I always thought of mother's day as a day for children to be grateful for their mothers. Now I think more in terms of how grateful and blessed mothers should all feel to fill the role at all.  Like other 'special' days Mother's Day is an added pain for all those with unfulfilled desires of motherhood.  For some, there is no greater pain.

I had some gorgeous tulips and my fave pressie to date is my new 'straw' necklace.  I loved George's long explanation of how he made me my necklace, how the straws went 'pop' and jumped around as he cut them and how it says mummy on it.

To my gorgeous cuddle monster and my wriggly flower inside, you are my world and I love you more than you will ever know.

Twinnies

Just had my twin sis to stay for a few days with my absolutely gorgeous 10 month old nephew.  I dragged them both along to a studio for me to have a play with the camera. Feeling a bit lost without her now, as is George. Oh how he loves bossing his younger cousins.

Back in Business!

Crop rotation sorted, soil pretty damn lovely = feeling like an old pro this year!! Emphasis will be on ease and simplicity though this year ... happy happy days :-)

Hard at work

All in the name of soil enrichment
