This week has been a strange one, the come down from a crazy run up to the girls ballet show, a horrible flu like cold thing and our car needing some attention ‘dans le garage” 😉
We scheduled in the car for its day of treatment on a day when i didnt have quite so much to-ing and fro-ing. Me and the littlest one got on with getting used to a day at home. Which is not something that happens very often. We have visitors this weekend so we did some baking and she did lots of ‘helping!’ We did some washing (yeah exciting stuff for a toddler) and i got her to help me sort out clothes into piles. It is amazing how well she knows everyone’s clothes!! Then we made ourselves some toast and jam and headed out into the garden.
Our garden in the winter is a bit of sorry state of forget…its not a whole lot better in the summer if im honest (sshhh) but at least spring and summer getting her glad rags on and giving them a bit of a shake covers up our ever-so poor horticultural skills!
But anyway we had about half hour of bubble blowing and digging in a random, bucket of earth before she discovered the hose and it all went a little down hill quite quickly! You will notice that she has the completely appropriate footwear for November…as always 😉
I did do a bit of a dizzy dance this day though…as you might notice she is wearing a cute little dress…which she has refused to wear for months and months. I had lost the receipt and resigned myself to the fact that i would just have to hand it down to someone else and ta-dah..she appeared wearing it!
Thats worth a celebratory piece of cake!!
I love that she always wants to wear sandals 🙂 Hard to beat a bit of bubble blowing and digging! #CountryKids

Bubbles and digging can take a surprising amount of time. Lovely way to spend time outdoors and that is a cute dress. I’m glad she found the right day to where it. #CountryKids

Bubble blowing never fails in our house. Love her cute little birdie dress. The slippers go well 😉

What a gorgeous little girl, I love her curls and also that she had to wear sandals! x
It’s a gorgeous dress – I’m glad she decided it was ok. And I’m also glad it’s not just my toddler that thinks crocs are the perfect footwear for November!

Love her dress! And I sympathise with the flip flops – after a Summer of insisting on wearing wellies mine have been spotted in the garden in their holiday fake-crocs I bought them for the beach! Madness!
Beautiful shots x
