Little things

Little friends coming to visit the garden...

The things growing in my garden...

Nadia this Clematis is for you, thanks for recommending it x

That the simple games are the best ones...

Play dates with friends...

Paddling pool weather...

May we get more of it...

Warm almost summer like evenings. May we get more of them too...

                                         

Sorry about that...

Firstly I need to apologise to the people of England for the horrible rain falling right this minute. It was so hot and sunny yesterday that we just HAD to get out the paddling pool!

And there appears to be a very direct relationship between us getting the paddling pool out and the chance of massive rainfall shortly afterwards. Whoops, sorry about that...

You can't stay mad at that face right? Plus it was totally worth it...

As rare as a paddling pool event in this temperate country is, we've got skills when it comes to splash making...

Even by the smallest of us who refuse be outdone by their big brother...


And to splash is one of life purest pleasures surely?

Well that and sliding...

So as I said, it was totally worth it...

Honest...

Daddy's day

Because he deserves it.We gave things worth more than gold in this house. A Sleep in... (until 8am because Isaac couldn't wait anymore)

Breakfast made by me rather than the other way around. (I rocked these poached eggs. It's hard to cook for someone who is a genius in the kitchen)

Time to read the paper (sort of)

Allowed to watch a full rugby match on the TV uninterrupted (mostly...)A shopping trip to buy something frivolous rather than something necessary. And by frivolous I mean he bought CD's because we are so rock and roll. A pub lunch and a curry with my brother in the evening (again with the rock and roll lifestyle).
With us its all about the little things...

Well that and food...And he does deserve it you know

We couldn't ask for a better daddy.

'Oh the places you'll go...'

'Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.'...
Dr. Seuss

Life is smaller these days...

Made up of smaller seemly ordinary things...

But we know better...

We see what others miss...

And being followed home by a small black cat seems like a very great adventure indeed...

'Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So...get on your way'
Dr. Seuss
