Husband's been away for a while now and we are all feeling it. We've had a few ups and downs but I've tried my best to keep us all busy and happy. It's been a week of playing outside, jumping in leaves and puddles as well as the trampoline, collecting conkers and distracting them by filling their days with fun.
It's hard work being a single parent to three with no days off or holidays. I miss my Husband lots now and can't wait till he comes home.
I didn't pick a favourite this week as they are not really the best photos ever. Put together though they give a taster of what we've been up too.
272. “Autumn Days” – I love this picture of Daisy playing in the leaves. Mum & Dad came over & took us out for lunch & then stayed around to help with bath time. It was a lovely afternoon and lifted the girls who have been really missing Daddy.
273. “I Made A Gingerbread Man” – Rosie had a lovely day at Preschool today and was thrilled to bring this treat home. She happily shared it with her Sister.
274. “Counting With Conkers” – A quiet morning with the big girls at School & Preschool. Then this afternoon gave Rosie a bit of quality time. We had lots of fun in the garden & even did a bit of counting with the conkers.
275. “Quality Time” – Ive been trying really hard to divide my time between all three girls but today I think I did pretty well. The youngest two enjoyed a lovely day with lots of playing, cuddles and trip to the park. Then this afternoon I focused on Poppy. She & I snuggled up whilst she read to me & then once the others were in bed I read her an extra book and enjoyed a little chat.
276. “Muffin Time” – I had friends round this morning and then Mum Popped over this afternoon which was a nice surprise. Once she went the girls and I made muffins. Poppy has a friend coming to play tomorrow and wanted to impress him.
277. “Playdates and bikes” – we enjoyed lots of time on the bikes and scooters today. After School Poppy's friend came over which was lovely.
278. “What A Day” – not the best day in the World. The girls wanted breakfast in bed this morning but Poppy spilt milk everywhere which put a stop to that. From then on it was one thing after another. The girls were constantly falling over & hurting themselves or each other etc. We did have ballet and tap this morning and I managed to get this one cute shot of them all in the garden this afternoon.
Can't wait to see all your pictures.

October 6, 2013 at 7:29 am (11 years ago)i think your photos are all special and you should give yourself lots of credit for coping so well on your own. It is hard enough looking after 2 by myself so goodness knows how you manage with three. Look at your girls – gorgeous and always looking so pretty and neat and tidy. You do a fab job Karen (hugs) xx
The crawling through leaves looks fun and the conkers – i love this time of year. Daisy sat in the pink bucket made me smile x x
