Day - 8

This afternoon we went to the local park, the kids really needed to get out of the house run around a bit.

I tried unsuccessfully to get some business work done. I'm behind on a couple of things so that's what I'll be working on tonight. I'd much rather watch Bear Grylls on fox but it he will have to wait for me. Oh how I do like Bear hehe.

So here is today's photo, no kids, just a water bottle some pens and camera :)

Day 7

Busy day for the kids, I dare say that had a lot of fun!
In the morning Leo and I went to the shops to buy him some textas, he wasn't impressed that Abby had bought some and didn't want to share so we went to get some of his own. After Lunch we took the kids plus our friend Gordon with us to Wizzy World (kids play centre) It is the perfect place to take kids on rainy days and they all had a blast including Minna, she had been there before but that was back in the day when she was more interested in milk and sleep. She just loved it! I'll have to take her back for more fun and adventure.  She even found a boy the same age as her and I think they fell in love, it was the cutest thing, they looked at each other and then embraced, hehe so cute.

After Wizzy World we dropped Gordon home and relaxed (well I tried to with Minna getting into mischief) When we returned home I needed to keep Minna up until bedtime so I put her in a wash basket with water, she had a lovely time until it started raining about 2 minutes after she got in.

Here is the photo of the day.

Day - 6

Today was just lovely. Sigh, I got to have some me time which doesn't happen very often. I went into the city and caught up with Johnno and his new girlfriend Einat to go see the Annie Leibovitz exhibition. It was fantastic! I enjoyed looking at each image and trying to figure out the lighting, admired the compositions and just enjoyed seeing this fantastic photographers work.

In the morning I laid a big kiss on each of the kids and had to get a quick snap of them, Leo doesn't like messy things on him so there was no time to catch a photo of his kissed cheek.

Love Minna's expressions here :) 

Day - 5

I'm not going to feel like doing this tonight so I'm posting this now, just a quick pic of me.

Day 4 - January 2011

Today we finally got the kids out of the house, well the 2 big ones anyhow. It was suggested that we go play putt putt golf and we decided that was a great idea so off we went. For those interested Scott was first followed by me then Abby and Leo.

In the afternoon Minna and myself had a little play outside :)

Day 3 PAD

Today was a mixture of lazy, mad, nutty, clingy, whiny. I didn't step foot outside of my home (apart from the garden) tomorrow I'm getting out!

Here is Minna enjoying her cold sausage. She has discovered tomato sauce and rather likes it and sometimes say's "dip dip"

Leo is into drawing and writing, he was never that interested in anything to do with paper other than throw it and rip it, so I'm rather pleased he has finally shown an interest. He could be going to school but we've decided he can have another year of home/preschool.

We had another quick storm roll on by today and it left us without power for over a hour, so I went outside to explore the garden. I've decided that spider webs are gross, after taking a macro shot of one today (see below) you can see how disgusting they really are and I guess after all they do come out of the spider's rear end, ewwww.

2011 PAD (photo a day) Challenge

Just for January I'm going to concentrate on doing a photo challenge where by I take a snap a day.  It doesn't have to be a perfect photo if anything it is to just get back to basics and document life. I've already completed my first 2 days and wasn't going to blog them but I've changed my mind and re opened this old dusty thing. As you can see the previous post was back in April last year so it has been a while.

Day 1:
Trying to think back 2 days ago is actually harder that you think. Well for me anyhow. So from my vague memory I think we didn't do too much other than a tidy up of our bedroom which starting looking like half bedroom/ half computer construction room. I'm happy to have my space back now and wouldn't mind re decorating it. Don't know if/when that will ever happen though

Day 2:
Yesterday we enjoyed the company of some friends who came over for a BBQ lunch.  I met these lovely people a few years ago in an online photography forum, I'd met up with Johnno a few times for little photo shoots here and there and a year ago I met Dave in person for the first time. I love how something like photography can bring people together.  You can find David here and Johnno here The only thing that I can pick about these guys is that they use Canon! okay only kidding but that was the running joke, I use Nikon and that is somehow a bad thing? well I'll just let them think that and be happy with what I have thanks!

Here is the photo for the day, a last minute attempt as a storm started once our visitors left. I was expecting a blackout so the candle made for good use as a photo prop.
