Little things

Things I'm loving at the moment...
Dramatic early evening skies...

Seasonal activities...

Coffee, i'm a new devotee in very small low fat doses...
The tooth fairy visiting for the first time and then again two days later...


Bird watching with Daddy...


This face...

These two together...




Visiting adorable cousins...

And meeting a very new cousin for the first time...
*Psst* she's the first girl cousin in a long run of boys
 so I've finally got me some back up...

Days like this...


Lately I have these moments
Where for no reason at all I feel high as a kite
I see the little things that lift me
I'm doing the things that fulfill
I stop any anxiety and breath it all in
And it feels like everything is going to be alright
    I want to package up these days to open up again when times are tough. Then I can remember that no matter what happens there will always be days like this...
So borrowing and twisting the words of Van Morrison (because who says it better) I'm packaging up this day...
When it's not always raining there'll be days like this
When there's no one complaining there'll be days like this
When everything falls into place like the flick of a switch
Well my mama told me there'll be days like this

When you don't need to worry there'll be days like this
When no ones in a hurry there'll be days like this
When you dont get betrayed by that old judas kiss
Oh my mama told me therell be days like this


When you don't need an answer there'll be days like this
When you don't meet a chancer there'll be days like this
When all the parts of the puzzle start to look like they fit
Then I must remember there'll be days like this

When everyone is up front and they're not playing tricks
When you don' have no freeloaders out to get their kicks
When its nobodys business the way that you wanna live
I just have to remember there'll be days like this



When no one steps on my dreams there'll be days like this
When people understand what I mean there'll be days like this


When you ring out the changes of how everything is
Well my mama told me there'll be days like this

Did I mention that I totally love Autumn?



Oh yes that's right, about a trillion times.
And lately we can't get enough of Autumn walks with crunchy leaves and seemingly painted trees.


It wasn't long before we were all at it...





On this particular day we were with one of my besties and her daughter. 
Check out how unsurprised I am by this turn of events, while we posed...
Cheeky little monkeys....

Little things I loved about Halloween...


The Pumpkins...
The morning surprises...

The decorating...
The very homemade shadow puppets...

The Costumes, we don't mess about! 

Isaac wanted a dinosaur costume soooo bad which took me hours to find online. And Lucas was adamant he wanted to be a fish (naturally). One day I will make costumes myself! I just need to learn how to sew...
And lastly the sparklers...

It was awesome.
