Sj's - Little Musings: catching up

Its been crazy!

I know all our time is precious in December - but omgoodness round here it has been manic, a week filled with tonsillitis, school plays, order packing, and to top it off - my home Internet is down.

Brilliant.

Anyway - I wanted to pop these pics on my blog as It has been painfully abandoned of recent days!

Had a fab weekend away with the girls again - *love them all*

I actually scrapbooked! And once I have photos I will upload them - along with the promised pictures of Finlay's party (Where does the time go!?)

Someone else has been occupying my mind recently - he knows who he is.....

Mr Tumbleflump Hollie-Tinker of course! *Who else? ;-) *

he has been causing lots of mischief - Finlay ADORES him....

And - believes in him 100% - I have forgotten what that feels like, to believe in something so innocently without questions or judgements. I sometimes watch him in jealous wonder at all the magic you can almost see dancing around his head. He wakes up in glorious anticipation about what he will find every morning, what antics his elf has been up to - and he truly believes it... I hope he doesn't have any reason to lose wonder in his life for a long time. It seems to have struck a huge personal chord within me, and I have been very reflective over it - perhaps not the most festive thing I could write here today ha, but it's true. I love him, and his precious innocence - I wish I could protect him forever. I am sure most parents who read this know what that feels like...

I won't lie to you - I am having a crazy amount of fun setting up his antics too..

my favourite so far, is this school:

Elf school - it was such fun to create!

His face was beyond priceless when he saw it - lol - look at the pics of him..
