Nothing out of the ordinary happening here, so just a brief update with photos. I've been meaning to put something here for a couple of weeks, just so I don't get a pile of photos that need sorting! As it happens, this is only a portion of what I've taken recently. Hopefully I'll manage another blog soon, with photos from our day out at the Highland Folk Museum and a few from a church picnic at the manse. But for now, just some photos of the kids, of course! :-)
This was taken yesterday - I love her big blue eyes here! :-) The hat was only worn for a few seconds, as she refuses to have anything on her head or in her hair. I can't even seem to get her to forget about something being there - even a tiny headband. I think she's going to get cold ears this winter if she refuses a hat or hood!
As I said, she thinks it's a crazy idea to wear a hat! lol
Earlier this month we bought a new washing machine! It's a Miele brand and I'm very pleased with it. They say you get what you pay for, but I think I always assumed washing machines were fairly similar and they all washed your clothes equally well. But I was wrong! This machine has been getting dirt/discolouration out of clothes that the Bosch had left in for a while and I thought was permanant. And it's very quiet too, not to mention intelligent and will give an extra rinse if there's too much soap left, or will adjust the time if the load is light, etc.
All four children crowded round the computer - grrr! At least they're learning something (on Starfall.com)
Happy about the mess she's made and clapping her hands to show it.
Balanced on Daddy's back
Eating ice cream in the shade on a warm & sunny day
I actually managed to get a *tiny* hair clip into her hair without her knowing it and she left it for about an hour! :-O
Deborah & Clement playing together - they're becoming best friends, I think. It's lovely to see them playing together all the time - and thankfully Clement is being a lot nicer to her than he was a couple of months ago!
Benjamin & Deborah sitting in the basket of the (collapsed) Mountain Buggy, after I took the seats off for repair :-)
New harness (straps) which I sewed into the seats - so much better than the old straps.
Dumping the clean nappies & towels into the kitchen floor - she *loves* to empty things, regardless of what they are.
Nappies make good head gear - much better than ordinary things to wear on your head! lol (she was attempting to drape it over her head herself)
A quiet afternoon activity
Smallest two together again :-)
My darling little girl. Hard to believe it's less than 2 months until her 1st birthday! Though she's acting very grown up and tries to get into everything, and escapes out the front & back door and into the garden (on her own!) whenever she gets the chance.
She loves real books - the more pages the better! She is *not* interested in board books - she likes the real thing.
Having breakfast isn't her favourite thing to do, though standing up eating waffles is a bit more interesting than porridge or cereal! She does love her dinner though - meat, potaotoes & veg the best!
Making a chocolate cheesecake - and licking the bowls & spoons!
She found these ear defenders and was trying to put them on! lol I helped her out and thought it made her cheeks look so cute & fat! :-)
