LITTLE HELPER

mister S is the kind of little chap that gets very cross being down on the floor. he wants to be "UP" all the time at our level. if i'm doing anything at all work surface level he likes to be involved. this has led us to the dangerous territory of letting him sit on the kitchen work surface (exactly the sort of thing i swore i'd never let my child do) or at very best stand on a chair so he is the same height as me and can see what is going on. i don't blame him mind you. i hate being left out too. there might be something really good happening. and "hey! i want to be part of that!" is all he's really saying...

REAL LIFE.

somedays most days when i put stanley to bed...i am greeted with this. mess. everywhere. every room has been hit and i only have ONE child to look after. who knows what it will look like if i have any more! sometimes i try and take nice pictures. beautiful photos of my life, stanley, my work and what we're up to. tonight while i type this the house looks like these pictures. i'm typing right now in that desk mess ignoring the to-do list and the pile of papers i'm supposed to file... this is real life, sorry it's not pretty but i thought i'd share anyway. i'm too tired to get creative with the shots so you have it as is.

even the cat is sitting on pillows and cushions i've had out to wash and put away for weeks now. she's the only one happy with the situation!

hoping to post something more lovely looking soon....
