Siblings project – November 2018

I can’t quite believe that we’re halfway through November.

I also can’t quite believe that my siblings photos for this month are of the children outside in short-sleeved t shirts!

The pictures were taken a few weeks ago, before the weather really started getting wetter and chillier.

I’d taken the children out to the car park area in front of our house after school one day to take some photos for another blog post.

They demonstrated some power poses for me beautifully, so do go and check that post out to see how well they did!

After they’d helped me out with that they were looking out over the fence to see the sea and the light was just right for taking a few siblings photos.

Along with the lovely autumn light I really like the fact that you can see the trees behind them, starting to change from green to orangey-red.  With the children dressed the way they were, I’m not sure you’d have any idea that these pictures were taken so late in the year if it wasn’t for the autumn colours behind them.

Things are definitely starting to feel more wintry around here now though.

We went to St Helens at the start of November to see the fireworks display, and it was absolutely brilliant.  The choreography of the fireworks and the music was spot on.

Bonfire night sort of signals the start of the new season for me, and with that now done I have a feeling we’ll be on a fast track to Christmas.

Nerys is already bringing the festive spirit home from school as they’re busy learning all the songs for their Christmas play.  Last year in nursery class they just sang a selection of songs, but I think they’re doing a full nativity play this year.

Funnily enough, as I typed that she turned to me and told me that one of the songs starts, “we’re counting the miles to Bethlehem” so it seems pretty certain that’s what they’re doing.

I don’t know what parts the children will be playing yet.

What I do know is that I’m already looking forward to going and watching them.  I always get quite emotional for some reason.

I’m not the only one am I?
