Books

This weekend we made a trip to the local library. The children's section is fantastic. Sam can read so well now making choosing books much more interesting for him. Bella loves books too but running around the library singing "mummy want cook cook book" is much more fun to her at the moment. 
p.s these photos were taken on Sunday morning. Still lazing around in our pjs.

Bits from last week

Here are a few (quite a few!) photos from last week, before I file them away in my flickr filing cabinet.

:: Bella playing hide and seek with grandad and wearing bling from nana.
:: Using an old jumper of Bella's to sew onto a dress I bought from the charity shop.
:: Bella reading my book in her bedroom.
:: Sam took a photo of his doudou.
:: Lots of sewing.
:: My 3 euros rug/mat from the secondhand shop.
:: Bella keeping warm next to the fire on a rather chilly day.
:: Yellow cardi and blue chair - just because :)
:: Joanne Harris' cook book. We've been making most our meals from here this week.
:: Bella playing with chalk and water and she's wearing another re-cycled top - the sleeves are from Sam's old t-shirt.
:: Vintage fisher price sandals from here.
:: A view from the garden.
phew, time for a cuppa!

Home

Living in a small house proves to be difficult where toys are concerned. Baskets are tipped over and left. Several toy dinosaurs are now headless as the dogs assume they must be for them if they're left on the floor. It's always the dinosaurs.

Fresh flowers and blossoms are placed in situ to divert the eye and I found a wooden H in the wood shed that Scott threw away. I thought I would paint it or do something with it.

p.s. the messy books are not down to the children...or me :)
