quiet Monday

Today we all needed a calm quiet day at home .
We spent the day playing and reading lots and lots of books and a certain little lady had a visit from the Health visitor to talk to me about weaning ,we got lots of leaflets and even a leaflet about how to use baby walkers safely!? oh well the paper recycling bag is feeling well fed tonight :) and so is my breastfed baby .

peaceful Saturday

Saturday the pixies went to spend the day with their Daddy so after i had dropped them off me and Molly got the bus to Clitheroe ,my parents have gone on holiday so i was determined not to sit at home and feel miserable .
We sat in the grounds of the castle under a tree and had our dinner . It was so peaceful and the view was beautiful of the distant hills it was just what we needed .

me in my favourite skirt :)

my beautiful baby girl

we had a lovely wander round the craft shop and the many charity shops where i treated myself to a couple of books and Molly enjoyed the day asleep in the sling enjoying her mummy feeling at peace.

Dressing up and dressng down :)

I cant help but laugh every time i look at this photo :) hes got a fairy wand tucked in his belt and that's Molly's summer hat , this is how Ben started Saturday Morning . It latter evolved into this ,Ben in his cloak we found in a charity shop.

and Daisy dressed as a pumpkin faery

Ben's has really got the hang of peddling his bike now hes just not quite got the hang of watching where hes going, just after i took this photo he went straight into the bush while he was watching a man walking past :)

Flower Friday

on Friday Grandma dropped us off at the park while she went shopping . Ben sniffing the flowers

hugging a giant Sycamore seed.

Mummy & Molly

Daisy absolutely loves flowers and while Ben ran about like a mad thing Daisy examined all the flowers ,she found the Daffodil lying on the floor and was very exited when i said she could take it home .

beautiful spring blossom .

not so sunny Tuesday

The sun was out in a cloudless blue sky but by the time we had gone the short distance to the river the sun was hidden behind grey clouds but that wasn't going to stop my pixies having fun . poor Molly has Croup :( she really enjoyed the walk and the cool air helped her cough and was really peaceful as we wondered through the Forest she stared up at the tree tops and had a good sleep .

the pixies spent ages throwing stones in the river .

my beautiful Molly

my brother managed to just bout capture a photo of Molly laughing ,she was having a chuckle at big brother Ben again as he leaped round the garden :)

enjoying the late afternoon sun .

little feet enjoying the feel of Doodles soft fur .

sunny Monday and scarry Moo's

Three cows and a teeny tiny baby cow have appeared in the field at the end of our road so we went to have a little look . We had only taken a couple of steps into the field when 2 of the cows started trotting towards us with a menacing look on their faces ! my fear of cows kicked in ( was chased by a heard of cows in this exact same field when i was little ) so i told Ben and Daisy to go to the gate in a trying not to panic type voice, Ben went quickly but Daisy who is exploring all meanings of the word 'stubborn' wouldn't budge so i ran with her under my arm like a rugby ball just as the scary cows broke into a full on run ! eeeeek . took the above photo from the safety of the road . Don't think I'll be venturing anywhere near those cows again .

we found some more fields to explore instead.

feeling a bit naked without Molly on my front, after a wakeful night she fell asleep on the bed so i left her with my mum, so she missed out on the scary cows thankfully .

why open a gate when you can go under it !

Ben took this photo of me and Daisy.

sliding down hills

this is Hedgy the Hedgehog she belonged to me when i was little ,Ben loves her and has taken her everywhere since we found her in grandmas loft. she's eating a piece of dried sheep poo in this picture :) mmmmmmmmmm

In the afternoon grandma took us to Townley hall we first went to the playground which was packed with children and soon Daisy had disappeared in the crowds of children i spotted her being carried away from the playground in a Lady's arms so i ran faster than Ive ran in a long while and caught them up, the well meaning but annoyingly silly lady thought she was lost and was asking random people if Daisy was theirs ! anyone could of said 'yes she was their daughter' and taken her ! i was so shocked at her stupidity i just scooped Daisy up and we left the playground quickly ! don't you just hate the way places become stupidly busy in school holidays ugh!

This beautiful permaculture site was lovely and peaceful a little oasis among the craziness of the park.

exploring the Cob house .

the site runs free courses on growing veg which I'm defiantly going to sign up for when Molly is older .
