elsa...my rainbow brite.
2nd week of our easter break. it has been playdates and cakebakes.
a good sprinkling of grumpy times. me and you both...but so many happy warm moments too.
i'll miss you when you go back to playchool. will we ever be out of our pyjamas on time?!?

last week i visited loads of the links...sweet hairstyles and waves that put me in mind of my own girl's wild locks. i loved this and these especially so.

elsa...enjoying the late springtime sunshine. what a tonic to get outside in the warmth of nature!
winter has gone on and on and on in this part of the world.
but today. today suddenly our garden looks a bit like a meadow to be explored without a coat.

thanks a million to everyone who left me a happy comment on my 13/52...i'd like to link to liberty pearl who i found such a joy last week. in both rebekka's wonderful words and the captivating image of her sweet friend setting sail.

elsa...easter party day at playschool.

i can't resist this shot as i see a smile about to break as you dash off to have a last dance in your room.
a daily ritual before we get our coats on and rush round the corner to meet your friends.

last week...did you see fritha's other-worldly-picture of wilf? i loved it! many wilfs in a wonderland!
i also really enjoyed a new blog discovery...rebucado acido...the colour popped out to me in the little links and were even better in the real space. daniela's words and image about her daughter M and her pacifier really struck a chord with me even though we said goodbye to elsa's dodo a while ago.

elsa...back from an early morning monday freeze-the-cheeks walk.

capturing a little of your hot headed-ness.
should i have included a speech bubble wth this it would most definitely say "hey...hmpfh...no photos mummy!"
