You've ...Oh Mel, this really resonated with me. You've basically summed up how I've been feeling these last few months. It's so hard to let go of them. One of Bella's baby teeth fell out tonight and I nearly cried. Can I just pause time for a year or two, while they are at such lovely ages? Yes, these years are golden. And your rainbow bunting is a triumph. xGillian Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080123177116154219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810235498252474096.post-63826202762888559392013-12-11T00:51:27.933+10:002013-12-11T00:51:27.933+10:00That is so adorable.....super excited lets exchang...That is so adorable.....super excited lets exchange in January after the hub bub rush is over! <br />Heidipolkadotpeticoathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14642636842463149894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810235498252474096.post-8349872927978298982013-12-10T20:26:52.796+10:002013-12-10T20:26:52.796+10:00Hi Mel, Have not been checking blogs for a while s...Hi Mel, Have not been checking blogs for a while so will have to go back on your older posts too! I know how you feel. My oldest has his last day, of his first year of school tomorrow and I am clinging to it. How did that happen? It's all so hard and tiring until they start to grow up and you want to do it all again! Great post, all the best for the party.

Moment...What a moving post, thought provoking, too. Moments to stop and reflect are rare, at least in my house with 4 kids from nearly 5 to 13. The childhood years are never over I don't think, they just change. I find that there many wonderful moments with older children, too. I had a very personal little chat this morning with my 10 year old girl (about growing up and puberty) while we were driving to the doctors for a routine appointment. It was a sweet moment that I'll remember a long while. Just her and me. <br />The bunting is mindboggling, all 14 metres of it. Enjoy the mermaid party!

Life around here has been chaotic and draining and there have been times when I've felt like running away from it all. Combine it with 'reno fatigue' (yes even I have succumbed to it) and it feels like there is no way out. But the kids do grow up so fast and these 'groundhog days' will one day be a distant memory I'm sure. Wow, that bunting is fabulous! I trust you are making full use of your new sewing room. I hope LG has a wonderful birthday. xxCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13606994564887624801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810235498252474096.post-9473661772201133922013-12-09T20:59:06.974+10:002013-12-09T20:59:06.974+10:00Lovely post Mel.

You feel those toddler years last forever, then you're suddenly farewelling them at the school gates and it's all over. <br />The bunting is beautiful, and the painting can definitely wait! I know what you mean about the end of story time. I've stopped reading to my oldest recently, although it was somewhat a relief. As my husband is away a lot, I end up doing stories with all three children, and bedtime takes me an hour of reading/ singing etc to each child on top of baths, homework, music practice and dinner. I usually flake out at 8pm when I've managed to get everyone into bed and asleep. So one less was a bit of a relief. But I do miss it a bit. And I think when the last one says they don't want to be read to anymore I will feel very sad indeed. <br />Glad all seems to be well with the Melanoma. Hope it all continues and you're not one of the 5%. xxxHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01432089507602828735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810235498252474096.post-55285923077035501182013-12-09T20:43:27.831+10:002013-12-09T20:43:27.831+10:00Ah Mel, what a lovely Post.....much nodding along ...Ah Mel, what a lovely Post.....much nodding along here. It really does go fast., even when you are soaking up every second. I can't believe I have a 9 year old who used to dress-up every day and wear fairy dresses to bed but all that seems like an age ago now. Your bunting is awesome! I have so many vintage aprons that I don't know what to do with so maybe bunting is the answer?
