A Good Friday walk...

A tiny amount of sun showed it's face recently we went to a favourite spot for a walk. It was the perfect way to spend Good Friday...

Still no signs of Spring here...

But still pretty nonetheless.

As usual we set out exploring...

There were little treasures everywhere...

And you know me and trees...

Walking among them, surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature, I feel that all is right with the world... 

Yep, I a tree hugger for sure. Sometimes I do actually hug them. You know? Just to earn the title... 

Even in the winter they have such beauty...

And close up they are awesome!

We have our favourite climbing tree too... 

And this time we had to play a game of hide and seek among the trees who were very much obliging.  

Although the boys seem to prefer a funny version of the game where you hide in a really conspicuous space. The person seeking can clearly see where you are hiding but they jokingly claim they can't see you ANYWHERE!!...

It goes on for what feels like hours...

Seriously no stealth needed here!

It never gets old...

Eventually we were cold and it was time to go home...

'Sure I'm coming Mummy'...

'Wait what's that I see in the distance...'

'Yes, yes it is!

Forget you Mummy... 

THERE'S AN ICECREAM VAN!!!!

Surely we didn't? Hells yeah we did...

All in all and awesome walk!

Easter bonnet for boys

I wasn't going to post today but was way too excited to show you this... 

We had to make an Easter Bonnet for School and I had instructions for nothing girly! Not, as I reminded him, that there is anything wrong with girls because Mummy is a girl and Mummy rocks. He's too young to be rolling his eyes right? Don't worry I let him help. A little bit... No Mummy you can't eat it!

I enjoyed it way too much. I spent way too long on it.Can you tell I wish I had gone to art school?

Little things

Lighter evenings...

Strawberry Smoothies...

Reconciling with Snow in Spring and getting a snow day with Hubby at home in return... sweet...

Having Spring in my kitchen instead...

Blue skies when the appear...

Pancake Sunday!!!

Sunday papers...

Homemade Pizza...

Great Expectations

So it has snowed for about three days straight here which is just crazy.

Any Spring that may have sprung has been halted in it's progress...

BTW the following is what happens when I let the boys (I'm including hubby in this) make a snowman without my direct supervision. Is that not the scariest thing you ever did see?

I call him weirdo, he responds only to that name now...Where was I? Oh yes Spring not springing...
    The only Spring going on around here is the plants that I excitedly and prematurely bought to put in my new front garden (which of course has not been dug yet). They are on my kitchen window sill, springing away like they have no idea...

Bless them...

Isaac has an ear infection. Poor boy he's so poorly...

Lucas not to be left out has an eye infection...

Forget embracing a Snow day (sorry Snow), it's sick day now.

Check out the new play area I made where our too big place where I dumped stuff dining table used to be. It needs refurbishing anyway and the boys are loving this space just for them.

Also I caught Lucas comforting his big brother without any prompting...

Oh hello heart melted all over the floor...And we watched some absolute classic movies...

Because isn't that the only good thing about being sick? Watching movies all day long...

And just to keep my old friend Snow happy I made sure we had a hot chocolate...

Happy Snow/Sick day everybody. May you enjoy all that it brings. Or something like that...

Oh where for art thou Spring?

You teased me for a moment there Spring, I thought you were on your way. Clearly winter doesn't want to let go quite yet...

I long to feel the warm air on my skin, to see the burst of colour from spring flowers, I want the blossom to pop on my trees, I want to dig my garden so badly, I want, I want, I want...*Sigh* Patience has never been my strong suit...
    So I keep daydreaming about moving to Florida. Because I'm so over you winter. I am however enjoying the lighter evenings.

We had our first of the year walk before bedtime recently to look for the Moon and the first star. Can you spot the moon?


It's a favourite thing of mine to do when the evenings are light.

And it was good even though a little cold...

So here we are Spring, waiting and waiting and waiting...

Well you get the idea...

I bloody hope so...
