Cold, wet and windy with a touch of sunshine

It's been very cold, very wet and very windy. I know it's Winter and that is what you get here in Winter, but I am longing for warmth and sunshine. During the week we had one day - yes that is right 'One Day' that was sunny. Still icy cold, but sunny. The kids spent the afternoon outside. It's been such a long time, since I pulled the camera out and just captured everyday things.

Kloe and Jarred making quicksand and a river.
Zac even got his bow and arrow out, for some target practise on a bale of hay.

And this little man is less another tooth, he is sending the tooth fairy broke.
Honey and Missy our cows. Look at those very fat bellies, there is babies in there. So exciting. They are due around Christmas time.
Another two new additions to the family. We have lost another two chooks in the last few weeks. They get old and get egg bound, not nice but it's become a fact of life for us all.
And Princess Lilly, this cat is the most adored and spoilt cat to live.

As some of you may have read, I got some very unkind comments on this blog, which made me rethink the whole blog thing. Yesterday I reopened the comments and this morning I woke up and received the most lovely comment, from someone I don't know. It made me smile and has given me some faith back in the whole online thing. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave me such a beautiful comment. You have added some sunshine in my day xoxo

So glad you have opened the comments back up Mel, I've missed being able to let you know I've visited.

Looks like the kids had fun... in the mud. Hows the stress levels watching them play in the mud, I go nuts when my kids play in the dirt... poor kids LOL.

Hopefully the negativity will stay away & you can be at ease, you & your family deserve nothing less Mel. It does look like lots of fun on your farm & baby cows on the way- how exciting!!!
