I know it's only the end of October but I thought I would try and be organised this year and get the children's christmas shopping done early to avoid a last minute panic. So, half of it arrived this morning from my favourite, and only place I shop for natural toys in the UK, Myriad. The other half is making its way from the States right now and are things that simply aren't available in the UK. The parcel arrived five minutes before I was due to go and pick K up from school so I haven't looked inside all the sweet little parcels yet. Part of me would love to go and rip it all open now just so I can see all the cuteness but I need to hold off until the little ones are in bed tonight.

There are lots of other things happening around here, little L is a little bit feverish at the moment because of an immunisation she had a few days ago so today we are not doing too much aside from lots of holding and cuddling and soothing.
We are hoping that the weather holds until this evening because we need to take K to the fair in town when it gets dark tonight. It is one of her favourite nights of the year, with all the lights, the sounds of the merry -go- round, and the smell of popcorn and candy floss lacing the air.
