Family bonds - The Gallery

Our family (excuse Minxy pulling a crazy face!)

Family is the strong tie,

That holds you to the ground.

When it seems that you have lost,

All that you had found.

They are the rock that holds you down,

When you start to float away,

And they can turn your life around,

When you go astray.

They are the friends that you are born with,

They are with you 'till the end,

And when life treats you rough,

Your broken heart they will mend.

Although sometimes you may fuss and fight,

And may not always agree,

In the dark, they are the light,

That shows the path so you can see.

The theme this week is Bond.

Our Week That Was - Food, family and movies

A new year and a new project; 365 -  a photo a day!

I did do this for some of last year but with a change in job, various illness and a memory like a sieve I regrettably didn't complete it, so for 2013 I'll be posting my photos in a collage every Saturday instead.

Tuesday started with a lovely lay in after a late night out where the Mini Mes both managed to stay awake to welcome in the New Year. After lunch we walked the dog across the fields through lots of thick mud before coming home and making carbonara for dinner. The Mr and I watched the final few episodes of Homeland in the evening once the Mini Mes were fast asleep.
Today was also a year since we picked up our tiny puppy Spartan - where does the time go!

Wednesday was a chilled one at home. The Mini Mes played Skylanders Giants before we all watched Brave snuggled up under the duvet. In the afternoon they headed off to their dad's for the night and the Mr and I enjoyed an Indian and Ted DVD.

Thursday we made some cheese and tomato whirls for lunch and had a quiet one indoors playing with toys and games from Christmas.

Friday we went to see Rise of the Guardians which we all really enjoyed sat on the back row with lots of nibbles to enjoy! We called in to see my dad who has broken his ankle and is off work for a few weeks and we had lunch there before heading home. The Mini Mes went to their dad's for the night so the Mr and I had a delicious steak each for dinner and snuggled up to watch The Amazing Spiderman (although the Mr fell asleep after about 10 mins!)

Saturday I got up at 11am, ooops, had a yummy chicken pasta salad brunch while the Mr did some housework and I ordered some photos for my beautiful new frame. I love it and I've added quite a few lovely family related things to various walls recently.

Anyone would think the Mr had never seen a woman before ....

Having a look back at pictures from last Christmas I came across this scary picture of myself about to enjoy Christmas dinner...

Was the turkey really that huge?

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas - The Gallery

The 1st December every year the tree and decorations go up. It's like a tradition and happens regardless of what day of the week it is. Before December begins I don't really acknowledge that Christmas is so close bar picking up the odd gift here and there when I see it, I always think that the longer the build up the more impatient the Mini Mes will become and the less special the event feels!

However, now it is December I'm starting to get quite excited! I always take great pride in wrapping and I adore these beautiful gift wrap sets I picked up - funky festive brights...

I actually enjoy wrapping items and trying to present them beautifully regardless of getting tape and bows stuck pretty much everywhere. It's the giving part I really like and seeing people smile when they open something special that I have selected for them. I try to alter the colour scheme each year and these years is teal and fuschia to match the tree with some cute owls too.

The theme this week is 'It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.'

Christmas colours

The dark green trees, bright red stockings hung on fireplaces and the many different colours of twinkling lights in windows definitely show the arrival of December and the preparation for Christmas.

Despite the miserable weather and the dark days of winter, the festive season brings so much sparkle and light.

We have three trees in our home, one decorated by everyone in the lounge and the Mini Mes have their own in their rooms too. It's lovely in the evening when the bright colours illuminate the darkness.

The theme this week is the colour.

Miaoooow! This cute little cat is the Mr and doesn't he look just purrrrfectly pink!

Eyes - The Gallery

Eyes are the window to your soul, apparently. But how much can be read by looking into someones eyes? 

The Mr, when we first met, always said how I never gave anything away and how he could never 'read' me. I quite liked the idea that I appeared mysterious in those early days and kept him guessing.

But now if I am upset without even crying or saying a word he just knows. Is it instinct, is it because he knows me to spot the signs or because he can see it in my eyes. 

I think it's probably a combination of the three.

I can definitely tell if the Mini Mes are up to no good by looking at theirs!

Their eyes are very similar in shape too and colour.

(Minxy is the middle set and Jamster's are the bottom set.)

The theme this week is the Eyes.

The Mini Mes have had great fun with 'Fun' this week, the new 4 in 1 invention from Lush and here are some of their creations... What are this bunch up to?

Apparently it's a skinny Santa, figgy pudding and a present with a snowman and Rudolph watching over!

The 80's - The Gallery

Quick, call the fashion police! This is me and my brother back in '89. I was approaching 5 and not long started school. I'm not sure what my mother was thinking with the elephant print sweater but I still think I look cute with those squishy cheeks. My brother on the other hand doesn't look too pleased (I was probably pinching him or something to be honest!)!

People say my brother and I as children look a lot like the Mini Mes - would you agree?

The theme this week is the 80's

Autumn - The Gallery

Bar last weeks post which was packed with leaves I haven't really taken any Autumn pictures this year. However, as the evenings have suddenly become very dark, very early I've found myself taking the poochie for his PM walk, as it's pitch black now before the Mr arrives home from work, and I've had some great opportunities.

On Monday after collecting the Mini Mes from school we popped on our wellies and headed out straight away for just over an hour. I managed to capture these three photos which are quite seasonal...

I love the warm colours Autumn brings, despite the colder weather!

The theme this week is Autumn

What do you think of this picture of Minxy at Warwick Castle yesterday, did her conversation really bore people to death?

I'd love to hear what you think!!

Head over to the wonderful Mammasaurus for more photos to caption or to link up your own.

We are at Ice Age Live at Wembley today but I'll pop over and comment back later on.

Have a great weekend!
