Today seems like the longest day.
The extra hour in the change to wintertime seems to have added an eternity to today. I can't believe it is still only half past four.
Probably because my little ones pay no heed to the clock and have been up and about from ten past six this morning and as all parents know when they're awake, we're awake.

| please excuse the photo ... the light is almost gone today |
So what's your plan for the extra hour today. We will be carving our pumpkin after dinner. It's only little but the wee ones are very excited. We've been googling pumpkins all day.
We haven't got our pumpkin yet! Very a miss of us, it's usually one of our half term activities! Love Mr Bones in the background! Ada:)
ReplyDeleteLove the Mr Bones name for our skeleton ... he may be christened that :) ... Bee xx
DeleteAnd so are the grandparent awake when the little ones are visiting for half term!

Major excitement here too ... my little ones will be dressing up on Wednesday night to go see the fireworks ... they are counting down the days ... Bee xx
DeleteHi there- yes its been a long day. David has been a way so I welcomed lunch at my Aunts and Finn got to unexpectedly help his wee second cousin carve a pumpkin. Hoping to do our one tomorrow! Have a great week, Jxx
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely day Jo ... what a nice surprise for Finn too ... wishing you a great week ... Bee xx
DeleteIt's really has seemed like a long day. We carved our Pumpkin out this afternoon but have yet to put a face in it, will do that tomorrow. I really must look for some inspiration online instead of doing the same face every year! x
ReplyDeleteOurs will have to be something which is not too scary ... but there are some amazing ones online ... have a lovely week ... Bee xx
DeleteI love your glittery pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteWe did cooking, more cooking, and eating. It didn't feel like a long day but the kids were so tired and difficult at bedtime, then I remembered that to them it's as though they've stayed up an extra hour! I am bracing myself for an early start tomorrow.
Thanks Gillian ... hope you start wasn't too early :) ... have a great week ... Bee xx
DeleteLong days indeed - instead of waking up at 5.30 we are now awake at 4.30....and I don't go to bed until 11.30....I try and fill my time with sewing but have to keep the noise down!!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes
Jenny
