See they do wear dresses

Ciara pretty in pink

Enya pretty in green

My family all think that C and E never wear dresses, I would just like to prove that occasionally (okay, very occasionally) they do get all dolled up. Thanks mom for the gorgeous dresses!

During our fantastic summer weather we've also been playing with water, C and E love to play in buckets of water, we just have to strip them after as they are absolutely soaked by the end of the fun. Our turkish holiday starts in less than 2 weeks, I'm very excited to see how they react to the sea!

4th post for today

Don't forget to look down and see/read the rest ;0)


I love these next two portaits

In the rocker

Confetti queen- paper is for making confetti out of.....

....and quilts are for pulling behind you

Pictures continued..

Summer, although Enya doesn't look to pleased about it. This is her face she pulls everytime she doesn't get her own way (usually when I refuse to pick her up)


The face I much prefer with a smile on


Jam faces



It was so warm we stripped them down to their nappies, I love summer!!

My 2 week break in pictures

Our kitchen wall being ripped down as a result of the leak from hell

The girla are playing together more and more, here playing "duz" where they bump heads together, don't ask me ask my husband he started this one!

Ciara has learnt to take off her PJ's

Enya has a new friend, her duck. She loves running with the duck literally flying behind her. Unfortunately he is already looking very battered as he gets dragged along outside and rarely with his wheels on the ground. For the first few days we had him he also didn't keep his head on much of the time, thankfully my father fixed him up so the head now at least stays on even if he does have torticullis!

Playing on mommy's bed (the sofa) They can now both climb on and off the sofa so another safe spot is gone. We used to often leave thing out of reach on the sofa much to our darlings frustration, no more though. They have both tumbled off the sofa at various times but still go absolutely wild throwing themselves around and jumping on the sofa when they are up. Needless to say we are trying to discourage them from playing on the sofa.

To be continued......

Refreshed and renewed

I've had a lovely long break while my folks were here, I feel as if I've had a holiday. My parents kept taking the girls out for walks down to our local bakery or into the forest which gave me all this free time to do a "little" project I've been wanting to get to for ages. Ciara is growing out of her sleeping bags (we have about 8 of them and need them all as the night time deluges continue) so I've been wanting to put some duvets on the girls' beds. Unfortunately all the duvet sets I've found here are either hideous or hideously expensive so instead I made my own.
Work in progress

the finished product

I know it's really bright but so is their room. Two made and two to go! I've even had a friend ask me to make her one for her daughters bed in the same colours!

I'm loving having my folks here!!

They take Ciara and Enya out for walks which the girls love, play with them and feed them. I feel like I'm having a holiday at home with 2 devoted grandparents in the house!

I will post some pictures from this week later ;0)

Pictures again

Not a lot to say as I'm "very busy" getting things ready (read clean and tidy) for my folks arriving tonight, instead some photos from the last few weeks.

Ciara- but I'll let you name this photo
It's a really cute photo but all the titles I came up with sounded inane so please give me a few suggestions

Baby jail


The reason why our chicc.o play table has had the legs taken off it




P.S. No tantrum photos as Ciara hasn't thrown any major tants in the last few days.. who knew that threatening to publish photos on the internet was enough to keep her in line. I will have to remember that for the future.
