There were four in the bed

There were four in the bed, and the little one wouldn’t stay still!

Having a lovely time with Nana & Grandad. I remember having cuddles in the morning and squeezing in the middle of my grandparents when I was little. Great that my little ones love it too.

Crazy Hair Day

It was the last day of term at Preschool this week, we are now on school holidays.

It was Crazy Hair Day at school for the last day of term.

The little man loved his crazy hair, spiked all up on end with half his head blue and the other half green.

Had a great day and he will miss preschool for the next couple of weeks.

My Auntie B

Little Miss just loves her Auntie B, and her Auntie B just loves her.

I just love this picture of them both!

Walking above the trees

This weekend we decided to go on a day trip to a sky walk.  You walk in the tree tops rather than down on the ground. You are about 22 meters above the ground and at one point you are 45 meters high. WOW!

It was a lot of fun, the little man was a little unsure to start with, as we were quite high up, but he got used to it after a while.

Fun was had by all. I will post some more photos during the week.

Fun is such a good topic for a capture when you have small children. They are so much fun, hard work sometimes but lots of fun the rest of the time.

Here are my fun pictures. The children decided it was a good idea to wear Daddy and Nana’s jackets, they thought that it was great fun.

Lots of other fun photos at I Should be folding Laundry

Ok now this was a tricky one this week, I am not that good at photography, but of course I had to give it a go and see how I would go, so here is what I captured this week for depth of field.

I hope that I did OK, I know they are not fantastic, but you have to start somewhere.

I think that I need to do some work on depth of field, but I still think that I did reasonably well. I just saw the ferns and thought that I should try the close up fern with the others in the background.

Now check out other depth of field picture

Work

This weeks You Capture topic is Work, well that is an interesting one for me as I don’t go to work. I am a stay home mum, but I don’t consider looking after the children as work as it is more fun than work.

So I had to think about it a bit this week and this is what I have come up with, well it wasn’t really that difficult.

Ironing, now that is work and it just seems to be never ending. I only just finished and then I turn around and the basket is full up again. arghhhh

Washing up and cleaning the kitchen now that is definitely work.

This is my

Building Blocks

The little man is very creative, he wants to be doing something creative most of the time.

My parents bought these new building blocks for him for christmas and he LOVES them.

This is one of his latest creations that he put together, with the funny face to boot.

This weeks You Capture is Faces. This is an easy one for me as I LOVE taking pictures of faces.

So here are a couple that I took of the Little People, and one that the Little Man took of me, yes a photo of me amazing.

I thought that this was a pretty good photo taken by a 3 and half year old. Well done!

Some fun in the park, there was a crown cut out of the side of the play equipment. I thought that I would see what I could capture through it.

Thanks again to Beth at I
