Here are the little bits and pieces at the moment that make me smile, bits that I want to remember-
These are but a few x
- Everyone morning Amelia comes through to our room and climbs into my side of the bed to nestle herself in the crook of my arm for the last hour of sleep
- Getting outside in the winter air at least once a day, relishing in the (almost) coldness
- Using up what we have stored and trying to buy as little as possible this month
- The way Amelia says just, the j sounds more like a d but not quite said dust
- Listening to records on our record player in the evenings, sometimes with a book, sometimes just listening
- Dancing around and lip-syncing to Taylor Swift (the Red album at the moment), a guilty pleasure I have yet to grow out of!
- Soup and fresh bread weather
- Making soup/stew/dinner early in the day so that that time constraint is gone for the rest of the day
- Jessica walking around the house with her headphones on singing very out of tune(!!) to Chandelier
- Catching Amelia sitting on Jessica's bed trying to listen to her big sisters music..
- The beach in winter
- The smell of narcissi around the house
- Making time to read some really good books
- Jessica's imagination; we are mermaids and this is our bed we sleeping in to wait for the party (a old metal box on the quay..)
- Jessica's absolute love for Harry Potter, (Amelia: Jessica said she is going to marry Harry Potter, but mum says she is not allowed..)
- The game that I am really not sure what the girls do other than running from their room through to the living room and back?!
- How the girls love watching David Attenbourgh's
- Jessica's toothless grin, she has lost two teeth and two more are about to go all at the front
- Dark evenings and candles
- How the house feels clear and calm this time of year with the winter light and the taking down of Christmas decorations
- The still, restfulness of winter
- My new jumper
