photo friday challenge {play}

Exquisite timing!  No sooner did I take this photo did I saw the challenge for the week. 

 PJ clad, make-up free, goofy Saturday morning playfulness. 

 And now I must rush to the market I'm about to do.  

Wish me luck!

photo friday challenge {blurry/oof}

 

It's Carly's photo friday challenge. 

This week's theme is 'blurry/oof' (out of focus).  

This photo of little Woo was taken some time ago, but I love it and was waiting for a chance to use it. Now seems perfect!  It was while we were away at our friend's farm (which happens to be around the corner from my sister's new farm - much to our excitement).

 

We took the children for a lovely walk and as you can clearly (sorry, blurrily) see it had been raining.  The muddy puddles were full to the brim.  Three out of four children stepped in the puddles right up to their middles - and ultimately lay down in them to get fully soaked!! They stomped and splashed and splattered all over the place, squealing with delight.

The fourth, you may have guessed was Tigs, who laughed like billy-o and remained pristine, and more importantly warm.  As you can imagine the smiles on three faces were somewhat less visible, although they did remain remarkably chipper, as they trudged back up the hill, sodden, cold and very, very dirty.

And so as I stood with Tigs on the grassy verge shooting this image, I roared with laughter, my darling friend Lizzie, lay curled on the verge beside me head in hands, hysterical at the sheer madness of it all and with joy at the fun our children had. There was absolutely no chance of stopping them once they started.

Note: I missed the cut-off for last week's photo friday challenge but I still managed to get around to blogging it (in the previous post) if you're interested. I also realise that, technically, I've probably goofed the game up but hey-ho, I just had to share the whole story.

Thanks for visiting,

photo friday challenge {sweetness}

I appear to have signed up to a market, which of course necessitated a trip to the store.  The fabrics will hopefully become little Easter bags.

And when I stumbled upon these gorgeous trims I was overpowered by their sweetness.  At this stage they have no purpose other than to brighten my day.  Sweet!

Note: I am late for last weeks challenge :( I simply ran out of time.  Nevermind.  Better late than never :)

photo friday challenge {love}

my love for them

it knows no bounds.

and when i think i've reached my full capacity of love

it swells and deepens, swells and deepens

over and again

my love for them

wakes me at night

is my greatest joy

my love for them ...

my love for them.

causes a physical pain

an ache of  pride, frustration, delight, angst, joy

my love for them

will never fade

and will live in them always

i have given them my love, my very best love,

and because they know this,

 they will be able to pass it undiluted in their own love for their babies

 and their babies, babies

over and again
