and it did…

although not so much bumping the head as more nose-dive on the headboard. Yup..blood everywhere..gums, mouths, noses they like to bleed when aggravated…

and that was actually our second bloody incident of the day today. Maisie fell off the sofa..you know 'cos they like to perch on the back of it like chickens in a coop..and fell onto her sister and gave her an almighty nosebleed…which we didnt happen upon until it had travelled some from the nose area and it looked a heck of a lot worse that it was…

Poppy didnt want to rub the blood off her stomach in the bath because she wanted to 'show her friends at nursery that she got blood'

Nice huh?

Changing tack…i saw this sweet dedication on one of the park benches at the weekend. Such an ordinary thing a park bench but made distinctive by these heartfelt words…..a life well lived i think, you can hear how broken hearted he was to loose her in those words…

 

and this..i love how this flower looks like it has freckles..we like freckles…or prickles as Poppy calls them. I have no idea what type of flower this is….i dont think you need to know…you just need to appreciate how beautiful it is.

 

and a little daddy's girl…

 

1. The weather has been incredible recently, seems like all over there is a bit of summer. The kids are outside a lot, the sprinkler has taken its summer place in the garden with the purpose of watering the kids and not the plants…

2. Its days for wearing these sorts of dresses…

 

and spinning round in them obviously….

3. You will notice in the above picture that my beautiful daughter is not wearing shoes, Poppy has a shoe aversion..i tell her she should have been born an australian as i believe they go everywhere without shoes. The last time she wore socks was probably April sometime =)

4. Anyone else know what Bill and Ben are going to do with the country now that they are in control? ….nah…me niether 😉

5. I lost my phone this week and i cried. I love my phone. It is my diary, notepad, text messenger, facebooking friend and what made it worse was that in a flurry of mummy head i left it in a department store baby change facility and when i went back it had gone. To say i was gutted was an understatment. Its all locked and so pretty useless to anyone….

6. Ben has taken the kids paddling in a local fish pond..they love it, i find it a little weird. But i love this picture. What i love about my girls…their lovely relationship. Can't you just see them as little old ladies doing the same thing. Dipping their toes and putting the world to rights….

 

7. We are hoping to go camping this weekend and we are officially the camping borrowers as we have no camping equipment of our own some very kind hearted and generous people have lent us their bits and pieces. The kids are very excited.

8. Have you been watching the junior apprentice? I had to laugh when i watched it on catch up last week when the 17 year old boy stressed to Sir Alan that he had spent his life savings on starting up his business. The rye smile on Sir Alan's face was priceless!

9. I drove home on sunday from work in the 27 degree heat and forced myself to stop off at Costa for a iced coffee (im not a fan of going anywhere other than work in my uniform, if you saw it you would understand!)….that was a nice end to an otherwise pretty sad morning. 

10. My girls are after the boys in this family. This is James who is Ben's brother (the one maisie is going to marry…apparently) i think little miss Matilda may have her eye on this one 🙂

 

=)

hello little blue flower!

this little boy..how cute..so very photogenic. He threw lovely natural smiles at me. Gorgeous…

 

and big sister has some poses too 😉

 

they all seemed to like these bars..good for swinging on…and licking if you are matilda…

 

sometimes you just have to watch the big kids…

 

other times you can just hang out with your peers…

remember when you couldn't walk past a dandelion head like this without picking it up and blowing the seeds on their way..this little girl is right there at the moment. 

=)
