Catching up

Did you know I have 3 seperate blogs? I have this one ( my favourite, ssh don't tell) my polka dot sweetheart blog and I private blog for my childminding business. All three are hopelessly behind! Life is getting in the way over here! I can't seem to find the time to edit pics or upload them, the words aren't so bad and I actually have a few saved drafts, but it is taking me sooooo long to upload the photos, I just can't find the time to blog. It makes me sad, so I must find a better way.

I hit a brainwave a few days ago, I clicked the blessed little " blog this " button on picasa! Genius! Thought. I was wrong, it didn't work. I was able to see them for a short while and now they have gone. Back to the drawing board, does anyone know if it is quicker to upload from picasa web albums rather than blogger?

I'm going to give it a try, here is my attempt at sharing our Halloween photos, by uploading them through picasa web albums . Let me kbnow if you can see them, where you are in the world!

Mario and Luigi!

And two witches of the East Neuk!

Here are the kids with St monans Granny and Granda,

Great Grandparents are the best!

Happy (belated!) Halloween to you and yours! We hope you had a spooktacular time! Our was rushed (as always!) but we had oh so much fun.

M.I.A

Wow, I can't believe how liong it has been since I was here. Crazy!! Its been a strange week or so , getting used to the idea of my sister and family moving to Spain and Halloween, today my poor wee princess has added some sickness into the mix. Just for fun!

 

The main reason I have barely turned the laptop on this week is due to the fact that my house looks something like this

A whirlwind of fabric, felt roses, glue gun, and finally some finished goodies.

I have been crafting it up (constantly!) for an upcoming craft fayre this weekend. Polka Dot Sweetheart is making a craft fayre debut. ( and I am a little scared!)
It's been busy busy busy!
I've been like a wee one woman sweat shop! And I'm not even finished! I wont lie, I was worried I wouldn't get it all done! I need to go and set up tomorrow night!!! Tomorrow night. eek.
I actually still have a ton on my to do/ to make list, it may be a very late night folks! .
My daughter , however, has now aided me with an impromptu day off, so I just might make my deadline. Time will tell I guess.
Right, I'd best head back to the sewing machine, for now, and promise to be back very soon with our halloween pics and my usual ramblings xx

ps - now that Halloween has passed and this craft fayre is over, I WILL be in full festive mode! You can't say I haven't given you fair warning! Hmm I wonder if K is up for a christmas movie marathon today ....

Finding treasure, making memories.

On Saturday Murray and I took the kids on our annual conker hunt. I love this tradition as it never trully feels like Autumn until we have been.

This year we took our sweet Joe boy with us.

It was wonderful.

I love these sweet faces.

The day was bittersweet, as that scrumptious boy in the middle is now starting his new life in Spain, with my big sister. Sniff.

I took 200 photos of our day and plan on adding a whole chunk on here. Be prepared!

Autumn is really here.

I have to wait until December before I can snuggle this boy again.

Sniff.

Although I may get to skype with him tomorrow, I can't wait xx
