Carnivorous plant anyone!!

Today has been a brilliant day.

The sun is magnificent and i got a small space of time to sit with my wee Ashlee and show her the joy of just sitting and letting the sun warm you, before the boys jumped in and it turned all rowdy.

So with three kids on my bed wreaking havoc i decided to break out my camera which i had found out has a continuous shoot action on it. Oh what fun. It really brightened my day.

Then i had a very spontaneous visit from my younger brother (he never visits) and we got to chat about creating a mini eco system in my very own backyard, which is something i really wish to do. Chris knows things about plants and such and we got to discussing the fly problem. His suggestion - venus fly traps. And so the search began and i found somewhere that sells them. . . . . right here in Somerville. Wowee was i excited. Somerville of all places, and so i have worded up dad as mother's day is just around the corner.

Chris also hung out with the kids for a good bit of time, which is really fantastic since he very rarely sees them. Ashlee eyed him up for a bit first as he was looking a little unruly and he was an unfamiliar face but she got right into it when they all ventured outside and she could see the boys having such a great time.

All in all a really great day.
