It's all in the eyes

A friend, Jenny, was asking if we thought Holly's eyes were going to stay blue so I thought I'd have a look back through my photos and see if I could find any of the boys at the same age. For reference, here is Holly, now, at 6 and half months:

And here are Lucas and Sam at about the same age:

As you can see their eyes are already darker and greyer than Holly's eyes. I don't have any shots of Mitch at the same age where you can really see his eye colour, but in this shot when he was about 9 months old you can kind of see his eyes are brown: and the shot below where he is 1 you can see they are definitely brown.

So who knows if Holly's eyes will stay blue, she will be a lucky girl if they do because dark hair and blue eyes can be quite striking!

Sandpit Day 2

The Easter Loooong weekend means more time for playing in the sandpit, so here are a couple more shots of the boys' (with a bit of help from Dad) creations

And a few more cute ones of Holly and Sam

Sand pit

We've had a sand pit in the back corner of the garden which has been filled with dirt and other rubbish since we moved in and this week Meeks decided to clear it out (which was a HUGE effort!) and then today we filled it with fresh sand so the kids had a nice clean sandpit to play in. I bought a new wheelbarrow on Wednesday night to move the sand today and before we'd even finished the job the wheel of the new wheelbarrow was flat. Not happy! We'll be taking that back! Anyway, the boys were very excited:

Meanwhile Holly was inside playing on the mat:

A very happy girl!
