country living

Posted on August 31, 2008

On Fri­day I went to Eddis­bury farm to do a bit of fruit pick­ing.  The farm was beau­ti­ful and I had a really great time.  I think the kids really enjoyed them­selves and knew exactly which ones to pick and which to leave behind.

All of them gob­bled up the yummy sweet­est largest rasp­ber­ries I have ever seen.  I think they ate more than they kept but isn’t that the point of pick­ing your own fruit with children?

I think my favorite bit was sit­ting down and watch­ing them eat­ing apples with the trees in the back­ground– car­bon foot­print 0 (except that we drove 45 min­utes to get there so uuum I guess we did have a bit of a car­bon foot­print but lets just for­get that).

Three Corners– Water

Posted on August 31, 2008

This months theme was easy peasy for me as I was sur­rounded by water!  Although I feel this month that my pho­tos are not really of my cor­ner of the world but is of the cor­ner of the world that made me who I am.  The cor­ner of the world that I know sooo well and yet had moments of feel­ing disoriented.

As always pop on over to Jenty’s and Corey’s and check out how they inter­preted the theme this month.

sssshaawing!

What do you do when your 2 year old insists you watch her swing?  If you try to walk away she calls out mommy! moommy! moooommy!! mooooom!!!! So you for­get about wash­ing the dishes.  You grab your cam­era, sit down and just take pho­tos of a child who is rapidly turn­ing into a ham!

The beach is becom­ing a sweet dis­tant mem­ory. This is what we’re wear­ing around here at the moment.

This morn­ing Squidge received a let­ter from some­one we miss very much!  She was very excited when the let­ter dropped through the door.  It made me cry and after the first sen­tence I handed the let­ter over to Wal to fin­ish read­ing.  I went into the kitchen and had a bit of cry while I did the dishes.

Stalk much?

this is just a photo of one of those thin­gies– I don’t know what it’s called. I always think of it as Gin­ger because I vaguely recall the super secret project being called Ginger.

Any­hoo I stalked this poor fam­ily wait­ing for my moment to sneak a photo.

Drowning

under a sea of pho­tographs! I don’t think I am ever going to get through all of them– never ever ever!

Here are just a few of my favorites– check out my flickr pho­to­stream to see more.

The boys drank lots of snap­per­head- go check out the web­site it’s kinda funny.

After watch­ing Mike man­han­dle the lob­ster Squidge wanted noth­ing to do with it. She kept call­ing it a mon­ster and pulled away when­ever we offered her a bite. Miss M on the other hand was all over it and declared proudly ‘I like lobster’.

I’m only guess­ing here but I think Miss H is think­ing ’ nooo how no waaaay I’m eat­ing that!’

Miss H and I had a walk around out­side and we had an impromptu photoshoot.

We had a fan­tas­tic time. I enjoyed put­ter­ing around NB wait­ing for my man to join us. I’m pleased to bits that Squidge loooves her tee­tee Lil­iana, she’s still ask­ing for her. It was just good to be home. I’m cur­rently in the midst of post hol­i­day blues. I go through this every time and it usu­ally lasts about a week.
