Getting slowly into the Festive spirit...

Still waiting for bubba no3 to appear...Any day now as we have 2 weeks left to due date...Life is pretty hectic and no time to sit down and do nothing...
We decided to take decorations out and slowly decorate the house...The lights and rustic charm of decorations makes it feel cosy....

Ahhh what a beautiful weather up in Glenesk...

We had a lovely time at the Zoo today!

Weather was perfect for us, a bit cold but sun was shining most of times...Girls absolutely loved every moment of it and didn`t go to sleep until we got back in the car...Lovely lovely day!!!

Fancy a bit of a scottish tablet?

Good attempt, maybe next time?

Mummy... Mummy...

Woo Woo, when a little bit tired walking on St.Cyrus Beach.....

"Mummy, my hand is very heavy and I am very sleepy walking"

A beautiful Autumn day on St.Cyrus Beach

School may be off, but it doesn`t mean we have to sit at home bored, so we ventured to the beach in a search for treasures.

The sun was almost shining and we had loads of fun looking for shells, sticks, remains of crabs and discovered many beach shelters too!

More stunning images of them...

There must be something in the air that they just pose for me so beautifully!!!!

Or maybe they at last are getting the idea of mummy`s passion and make me even happier!!!

Ahhhh totally in love with them!!!

Ahhhh last week I managed to take some amazing portraits of my girls and I am so over the moon because its becoming more and more challenging to capture the true themselves on their faces without being bombarded with "Cheeese!!!, Mummy Cheese!!!" whenever I point the camera at them...

Why do adults tell their kids to say cheese anyway?!? Is it to justify the lack of photos later on?

Funny!!!

" Mummy, Mummy is Daddy going to have a baby too?"

- "Why do you think so, Darling? "

- "Coz he has a big belly too! " - Woo Woo

:O))))

May weekend, smashing weather!

Sunshine... icecream.... feet..... grass....blankets.....strawberries......jumping about......laughing.....friends.......chilling out.....

Me, my car, my camera and, some hours to kill...

Ahhh at last I have some time to sit down and offload all the photos i have taken in between sessions, the ME time...There are plenty, so slowly I will be uploading them here for this year book..

More and more fun in the garden...

The gardening season has started in our little garden, seeds are sown and girls enjoy looking after the little seedlings and they LOVE playing with water, they know whats spiky and buzzy and sticky and not to be touched or hugged or eaten, bless them !!!
Now we just have to pray for more days like this!!!

More teeth coming!!!!!!

Pixie has been so poorly recently and now we found out why! She has quite many to go through yet, poor little mite...
The photos are not actually of her present misery, but she has had quite few bad days in the last weeks...

K.M.A.F Photography: Inspired and expired!!!

Spring continues...

And I am very tired indeed, need to shake off the winter webs though...peel the tight old snake skin off again, brew another coffee and keep thinking positive...

That bloody light in the tunnel must be somewhere there...

Ahhhh...both girls were up at 7.30am till 6.30pm, no naps whatsoever ...where do they get energy from I have no idea!...Oh yeah maybe from me as I feel totally drained....like old, tatty bike battery...oh well, MAYBE TONIGHT THEY WILL SLEEP THE WHOLE NIGHT???!!! The famous everyday wish...

So you thought you would die and the world forgets you...

By the sounds of things it seemed like it was going to be a massive operation...General anaesthetic and loads of pre- assessments and tons of letters...Quite ironic really as when you really need help when feeling crap all you get is Paracetamol...

Well I trusted my guts yet again as I felt its all a bit OTT and said I am a hardcore supermummy after two labours with no pain relief...so just stick that needle in , Mayn and I am going to be just fine...well apart from my freezing feet I was fine....
....So that was it, few minutes and an egg sandwich and a cup of tea later both tasting delicious after almost 12 hours of fasting I was free to go back home...Shame as I was quite happy to stay in hospital bed for quite some time...reading my mag, watching the ill world go by....few things did make me chuckle though:

1. Hello , my name is blah blah Do you mind if I just have a look...nope....Hello I am blah and blah...Can I just have a look? yeah, no probs!...go ahead! anybody else? trainees? cleaners? lol!

2. Now we will take you to the theatre...hmmm couldn't help but thinking : "whats showing today?" but apart from my naked bits not much apparently lol!

3. We are very sorry,looks like you will have to wait a whiley for somebody to take you back to recovery room...OMG taaaake your time, I am not in rush....this is like day off for me...not often i get to do nothing at AM hour...

Are we there yet and mummy please be careful...

...Spring has sprung....for ten minutes...a little cheeky teaser spreading its very weak rays of sunshine playing lazily and carelessly with tiny new buds of flowers and trees...
I am its victim...I am a masochist.....craving a little bit of heat, seeking every little sign of new life....trace of happiess...so got the girls dressed and we went outside to play in the garden....everything so new for Pixie as she missed it last year being just born...Woo Woo felt like a little boss telling her younger sister what`s ok to touch, what`s too cold, what`s too sharp, what`s too small....I soon accustomed my ears to the new outdoor "No" code.....then we had fun! ....seven black bags full of winter rubbish later and a pile of sticks and wooden rubbish we decided to have our first bonfire and some thin foil wrapped roasted potatoes...hmmmm yummy!

The start of a new year...

After weeks of cold weather and subzero temperatures going away seemed like a perfect thing to do. So off we went to Gran Canaria to escape the evil winter. The longish journey had to be planned well so plenty of snacks and entertainment to kill 4.5 hrs flight without much disruption to fellow passengers specially those who don`t have, don`t like, or have difficulty tolerating moaning unhappy babies. Strapping them both in safety belts wasn`t such an issue, keeping them in was a different story :O) so we left the whole ritual till the last minute to a concern of a stewardess, surely she doesn`t have kids or doesn`t fly with them. Flight was ok, hours flew quickly between drawing, munching snacks and watching peppa pig stories on I~pod. Unfortunately i left Andrews headset which was a total disaster as I was 100% sure i packed them away! ah! . We landed on time then jumped on a couch that took us to our hotel. I knew we would do a package holidays at some point in our lives, thought it would be more when we reach our retirement age though he he , the dressing up in the evening , cheesy entertainment programmes and shows..are we missing something out here? luckily we didn`t get a chance to take part of any of these I think a ferry trip to Europe some years back scared us for life.... " people of the world join the love train love train love train" and " don`t blame it on sunshine, don`t blame it on moonlight" etc ..so yes we were not even tempted ...we did have a look at the posters though and could take turns if we wanted to , ah thinking back i should have taken a photo of them lol! but probably it was wise not to, that could end up with unplanned affair with an 80`something years old pensioner , rich pensioner or a gay guy!we took turns in going to sauna and acually meals too as girls were simply not interested in food and altogether it was quite stressful experience trying to shove any nutrients in their little throats. we did give up at last and finding out they were actually ok the next day , we still paid 3 visits to restaurant though, which wasn`t good for my waist line!. The area surrounding the hotel was quite quiet and some distance from town, we paid couple of visits to the beach front and playa de inglis which was amusing, still stuck in 1980`s with some german dudes still wearing mullets and black leather shorts..Nice!
