Autumn Walks
The girls don't stand a chance of escaping the camera with both parents pointing lenses at them.

new dresses
Summer is a bit hit and miss with random days of sunshine, alot of rain, have seen quite a bit of the local fox, but he always seems to know if you have your camera out. Poppy's started swearing at the wasps, so had a little chat about what words are not so nice to use. And Maisys talking more and more fluently every day telling me she was "Enjoyin it" when I asked her if she liked her lunch today. She is 2 now and is still singing "birthday to you" while she's playing around the house.
I am knitting a lot and planning who is getting what made for them for christmas. Feeling frustrated and wishing our house would sell, (2yrs and counting).

Baby Mia
My oldest friend Jamey, and her little girl Mia, taken by my Mum and emailed to me, as I haven't got to see her yet.
Just the thought of her is making me feel broody, odd as I am totally tired from daughter number one having a hissy fit between 3 and 4 am last night, and this time last year I had yet to have a full night sleep with Maisy, who held out until she was 13 months before sleeping through.

We drove to a field Joel had seen full of poppies, we walked down the dirt track but only a few poppies were still in flower. Poppy brought some "friends" with her, and wore her new gold shoes she picked herself! not quite my style, but they manage to look quite cool with some outfits. The light was real strange, just as we headed back to the car there was a huge downpour, which only last a couple of minutes.
Maisy and Daddy coming over the hill, on our way back to the car.
This is right where we live, and was our early walk, we got back home by 9.30am, which may not count as early to you, but for Joel it certainly was. Joel had the camera and would let me have it as they wandered off hand in hand, I was desperate and kept telling to take the shot. However I edited them when we got home, cropped this one so they were in the corner, and faded the colour a little to give that old style look, then I saw he'd uploaded it to a photography site and taken full credit the cheeky so & so. Memories are made of this, and seeing as we probably won't have any pictures of me screaming at them to pick up the blasted marbles, hopefully it will be these moment we all remember.

Maisy eyes up the raspberries at my Dads, her hair is getting longer and curlier after having been so short and neat for so long.
A little post paddling pool cuddle with Rachel, my step mum.
Poppy all big brown eyes and fluffy hair.
Mmmm, raspberries.
Gabriel my little brother,
It was hard to drag her away from the raspberries once she had discovered the joys of a food supply you can help yourself to, I am surprised she didn't get a tummy ache.

Clover, Poppies, Buttercups, Herb Robert, Daisies, Scarlet Pimpernel, and some big blue bell flowers.
Bringing the flower fairies alive, a little beetle walks on buy.
Poppies grown for Poppy, silk petals on the breeze, little seeds.
Maybe Poppy will find the book when she is older and will remember days in the garden with her mummy, looking in her flower fairies book, and making collection of things as the days go by.
Poppy lays the flowers in the fairies hands,
Then we make a little headdress, for a real Poppy fairy. Chronicles for http://frokenskicklig.blogspot.com/ and the Rose fairy.

I need purple nail polish
Yes I broke my foot and then I posted a couple of pictures over at flickr, and in less than 24hrs I had over 130 views, lets put that into context, one of my other shot that has had a similar number of views has accumulated them over about 5 months. So I am think there are some people out there with a serious foot thing going on. Not sure what to make of it really. Glad I buffed and polished them though.

I have broken my foot.
I didnt even fall, I just went over on my ankle, I thought "that made a nice clicking sound." but on reflection that was probably the sound of my bone snapping! Very glad they took this super heavy plaster cast off today and I now have a light and purple one in its place. Now I have to keep Maisy off what must look like an ideal saddle to perch on for "horsey, horsey."
This will be a nice way to remember it, with Poppy's doodles and a damsel fly resting upon it.

Caught you
Maisy likes to sit in water, be it a puddle, stream or sea, fully clothed if necessary, so lots of catching need to happen if dry(ish) clothes are required.
Jumping
Talland bay in cornwall, she arrived at the beach in a coat and wellies, and left in her knickers!

Tractor tyre sandpit
An attempt to stop them digging up the plant, I got a tyre from the farm, cleaned it , painted it dug out a hole to set it in, lined it with weed suppressant membrane, and tipped in 4 bags of sand. Its been a big hit. now I just have to get used to sand everywhere!
Back seat naps
Peace and quite! They don't very often both sleep in the car. Poppy will fall asleep instantly but Maisy is hardcore at staying awake back there.

Happy Easter!
This is Poppy in her easter bonnet! (paper plate), and feeding the lambs where we live.
Maisy is in our garden playing.
Poppy is perfecting her moaning skills currently, and driving me mad. We have made chocolate crispy cakes and decorated the porch Eastery, so currently she is going ON and ON about the cakes and when they will be ready to eat.

People I missJennifer, your worship and your dancing.
Heather, Your Warmth, your intellect, your reading.
Lynsey, Hot chocolate and cakes around the table.
Sheba, your gentleness, your kindness, your friendship.
Christy, I do not miss your grief, but I do miss your insanity, you see the world through different eyes and that sets you apart.
Amber, your laugh, your company, your accent, to walk and talk, Honesty, living.
I can see these moments and I know they're past separated by time, distance.
I miss laughing with you when I am sad. I miss the love and company of others.Have I made mistakes or are these circumstances perfect, holding me in place. I dont know how to find friends like you again.

who needs a sandpit
Wow, it was a lovely day and the girls just went and sat in the vegtable patch like it was a sandpit, Maisy ended up on her back at one point, (I think she was pushed), and midway through her cry to get my attention she noticed a plane in the sky and got all excited, its as if the summer was too far back to remember, and playing in the garden is all new.
