Day - 17

Yawn..... I'm a bit weary. All kids in bed now and I'm trying to get an album finished for a client.

Today's photo. That self timer on the camera does come in handy. Fluke shot, somehow I managed to get this in one go.  I'm not complaining.

..............and if you are wondering what was for dinner, I can't tell you exactly as I just made it up but it had the following. Onion, garlic, cabbage, green beans, chorizo, tomato :) all good yummy stuff and no evil cabs.

Day - 16 Siblings

Today I caught a special moment between Leo and Minna.  We notice each day that Minna is growing, not only in size but she is growing into a lovely little person. She can be quite a handful at times and will certainly let everyone know that she isn't happy when she isn't.  Poor Leo sometimes cops a beating from her, she loves to grab at this glasses and can be quite rough with him, but Leo just lets her do it, only with noisy complaints of "no Minna, don't do that!" and he will never hurt her which is just the sweetest thing.  For a while Leo has been feeling every bit of the middle child that he is, but we now see that he has a lot more in common with his baby sister than Abby does.  It is so sweet to watch them play, she really does love her big brother and I know she will have his protection  forever. Sigh.....I just love my kids to bits xx

Day - 15 Last resort

Busy day today, I had my first shoot for the year, although I've enjoyed my time off I just loved getting back into things today. I got all excited driving out to the pre wedding session, I just love that feeling of excitement.

I would have shared a photo from today's shoot but it was a private client session so all I can tell you is that it was great fun and I have come lovely photos to show my clients in a few days time.

So just realising that I haven't taken a personal PAD today I better think of something quick. I played with the idea of using the toaster as a reflection but that didn't turn out so...... I pulled out the ol' take photo of sleeping child trick lol.

Here is Abby sleeping, I've given it a lighten effect to make the image seem more dreamy and also her pink bed lamp didn't help matters.

Day - 14

Oh So tired and I would really like to be n bed right now so guess where I'm going after I hit the "publish post" button?! yep off to nigh nighs lol.

Today I got to catch up with my lovely friend Sam and her Mum Christine, I've known them since I was 8 years old! now I feel old and tired.  Oh and I should make mention that I love DFO got some great bargains :)

Here is today's photo, rather lazy, I think I took 3 and this is it. If all else fails just take a photo of the littlest kid regardless of being clean or not.

Day - 13 Giggles

Today the 2 bigger kids went to play at a friends place so it was just Minna and I at home. I wanted to get a few photos of her without her trying to attack my camera, there are lots of interesting buttons that she always wants to press and play with. Perhaps a sign that she may just take it up when she is older?. So we sat on the floor and had some fun, she is just so smiley it is infections.

Here is today's PAD with an additional story board because I just had to share her smiles :)

Day - 12 this chip is dedicated to Scott

So I was a bit stumped for today's photo and was going to take another water drop, Scott said nah it's been done try something new, here's an idea put your camera in the oven and take a photo. lol so I did.  I might actually run with this theme and do some home duties/photos, I can clean and click at the same time!

No chips were harmed in the making of this photo, they were placed carefully back in the freezer.

As for our day, Abby had one of her friends from School over for a play date, it was filled with glitter, cupcakes and lots of Barbie play. Oh to be a child again.

Day - 11 Sand art and sadness

Today we woke to the shocking news about QLD floods, it is so surreal to see the images on TV. I wish everyone in QLD strength to get through this natural disaster. Be safe and don't underestimate the strength of water, however I don't think anyone does now after seeing the footage on the news. Scary stuff.

I watched a lot of news about the floods today and Abby was very bored, so we went and bought some craft supplies for her play date who is coming tomorrow, in the afternoon we decided to  do some sand art, tomorrow it will be glitter art!
