well Its been a while

Things have been very busy here since my last post ,tonight has been my first opportunity to do a bit of blogging .Ive got a few random type photos going back as far as mothers day . The photo above is my beautiful mothers day card which Ben picked out for me :)

Bens got a scissor fascination at the moment i bought him some left handed scissors but i cant remember where i have put them so here he is chopping up a picture with mummy's craft scissors .

these are the mothers day cards Ben and Daisy made for Grandma .

This little guy is Winston the Zebra

Hes made from a pair of stripey socks and was made for Sarah ,Colin ,Alice and tummy pixie of the Taylor-Dunn tribe :)

I decided way back in February that i was going to knit Ben and Daisy a Rabbit each for Easter and it has taken me this long to finally finish knitting them both, fitting in a bit here and a bit there while Molly slept next to me in bed .

while rummaging through boxes i came across a 'Magic Painting' book which we were given last Christmas so we had a go and Ben and Daisy were amazed by it ! and i must admit so was i it was really fun painting it and seeing what colour the pictures went ,its not the most creative thing ever but was lots fun.

This little piggy is now 3months old and has started 'talking' and attempting to roll over

Ben took this photo of me and the Molly pop.

These are our scrunchy crunchy chicks which we made for Easter cards .

It was a good job we started all our Easter crafts well in advance as we all came down with the vomiting bug Daisy got it then Molly got it a bit then Daisy got better then Ben got it and got Better then i had it then Daisy got it again but this time she had it really bad she couldn't keep even the smallest drop of water down and spent about 3 days being sick we visited the out of hours doctor who gave her some medicine to stop her being sick but it didn't work, on the fourth day when she got up after a night of being sick she looked really awful and was screaming for juicey and when i comforted her i could feel all her bones and she had visibly lost weight so me and my mum took her straight to the urgent care centre at the hospital. She was admitted to the children's ward with dehydration and put on a drip she was so unhappy and screaming in pain it was truly awful all i could do to help was cuddle her .

She had to stay the night i was all ready to stay with her but Mollyother ideas she hated the hospital and cryed and cryed and wouldn't settle so very tearfully i decided i couldn't stay so my dad stayed over night with her . the next day she stayed on her drip all day but looked so much better and was able to keep some toast and juice down so by the evening they decided she was well enough to come home .

She has slowly recovered and has got her appetite and her energy back but is still much thinner than she was . Ben missed her like mad and was really happy to have her home .

Now things are getting back to normal i have had the time to start making Ben's birthday badge and crown . so far Ive finished the badge , his birthday is Tuesday so i think ive got enough time to make his crown , fingers crossed.

eatting soil and other things

These are some of my latest fab charity shop finds :)

My little man x

Now id like to think Daisy hasn't been eating the soil from the garden but judging by these two photos I'm not so sure!

This little pixie wants bike for his birthday next month ....shhhh don't tell but me and my parents have bought him one :) just as long as he doesn't go out riding it in his underwear :)

free range pixies

Some more teeny tiny lambs were born at the farm in the village so we went for a look at them ,they were super cute .

while i was busy taking photos of the baby lambs and thinking how much id love to give one a cuddle the pixies crept closer and closer to the little stream that runs through the field.

it started as a little paddle...

and before we knew it Daisy was sat in it !

and then Ben joined her for a dip. we got told off by grandma when we got home as there was a large pile of wet clothes to be washed .. naughty Mummy :) i sometimes wonder if my pixes are a bit too free range ?

sculpture walk

Monday Grandad had the day off work so we all piled into grandads new car and went to Clitheroe for a walk by the river .

just look at mummys little poeser

There was lots of sculptures along the walk.

this photo looks like Daisy is about to dig into a cow pat but its really a molehill which warranted a good investigate .

Molly in enjoying a nap in my new Kozy carrier mei tai .

weekend

My laptops being playing up so I'm a bit behind in updating my blogety blog and Ive got heaps of photos to share :)
This is what we did at the weekend ,Ben and daisy went out for the day with their Daddy so despite feeling a little weary i took advantage of being toddler less and me and my mum ,dad and brothers went on a big walk around Pendle.

me and my brothers .

On Sunday it was another beautiful day so i went with the pixies and their Daddy to the park .

I have been finding it really hard to keep positive and happy lately and this trip out didn't really help much ,i have to try really hard to take each day as it comes and not think and worry too much about the future but I'm really struggling at the moment .

They had a wonderful time pretending this was their castle .

sandy weekend adventures

This sweet little pixie is now feeling much better so I'm getting a smidgen more sleep which has made such a difference to how i feel .Molly is now 2months old and getting bigger by the week .

This was supposed to be a trip to get some gardening supplies but would you know it the garden centre was shut for refurbishment ! thankfully there was a awesome playground so the morning was saved .

a giant sand Pitt with diggers ! what more could you want !

having a spin on a spinney thing

On Sunday we went for little stomp round the fields that surround our village .

Daisy looking at a big patch of Snowdrops shes was itching to pick one but instead gently stroked them with a stick .

if we come across a bench daisy has to sit on it .
