Oh, Happy Day!

Today we celebrated darling Le Husband's birthday.

(Happy Birthday, agapi!)

We had yummy pancakes for breakfast followed by scrumptious chocolate birthday cake topped with choc icing, candy sprinkles and fresh strawberries (to make it healthy, obviously!)

Waiting for Daddy.

I whipped up a quick batch of spinach, ricotta and feta rolls in the oven for lunch 

and we decided to eat them in the park. 

The sun was shining.

It was a glorious day.

The girls delighted in the swings...

Squeeeeeee!

Higher, Mamma, higher!

Darling Birthday Boy and I delighted in them.

Ssshhhhh! Do not disturb blissfully content child...

Oh, Happy Day indeed!

What made you happy today?

Oh I Do Like To Be Beside the Seaside...

It was one of those magical Winter days, all sunshine.

Darling le Husband and I gave each other a knowing look:

"Let's escape".

We pried the children away from the laptop and television (sadly, they have inherited their mother's addiction) and rounded up the 3 Barbie scooters.

With sunshine as glorious as this, it was too good to waste in front of a screen full of pixels.

"Mummy, the water is tickling my toes!"

"Can we do this every day?!"

Ahoy, there!

We collected some shells to remember the day

It was a very good day.

What do you like to do to chase the Winter Blues away?

For the Love of Instagram

   Today I am linking up with 5 Minutes for Mom's Ultimate Blog Party (Almost) Wordless Wednesday (phew! what a mouthful!).

   This (almost) Wordless Wednesday is dedicated to my new found obsession, Instagram, a fabulously funky photography application for mobile phones. 

   I've turned into a snap-happy mamma and I'm seeing my gorgeous girls in a new light, all the while creating, and conserving, some fabulous memories.

Are you on Instagram?

Do you love taking photographs?
