365- Day 182

gothic

I only remembered when I was putting Harry to bed last night, that I hadnt taken his 11 month old picture, so that was what I did today. Every month I have taken a picture of Harry laid on his playmat, so I would be able to compare his growth easier. As you can see its getting harder and harder because he wont stay still for 5 mins.

 Richard took this picture at tea time....what a mess!

 Gothic- hmmm, this is all I could come up with. A book that Daniel got on World book day...not quite gothic but the best I could do. He hasnt read it yet, so I dont know what its like.

365- Day 181

silhouette

 I remember I had this ornament somewhere....luckily Richard knew it was on top of a wardrobe and it just fitted the prompt today. It has a candle behind it.

Not had a good afternoon, it was very windy and the greenhouse blew down. This is after I got the plants out, so dont know if the tomatoes will live. What a mess it was and difficult to get in, to get the plants out....all while Richard was at work, typically, I did say could he come home at dinner time because it wasnt looking good....oh well.

365- Day 180

free choice

Ok so you would think free choice would be easy...but it isnt. I waited until the evening for inspiration. While I was clearing my craft desk....in the hope of actually maybe doing some crafting at the weekend, I looked round and saw Daniels muddy legs and thought that needs a picture. So here they are, he played football at school after school and came home muddy, good job it was only a little rain or he would have been filthy.

 Harry also had the same football kit shirt on, so that had to be a photo opportunity, I just love the way Harry is looking up to his big brother.

 For a few weeks I had been looking for a triple 7x5 photo frame, you wouldnt believe how many 6x4's I found....eventually one was found in matalan, prints ordered and this is the result.
Hope everyone had a good day, its very humid here, with rain and thunder over dinner. Thanks for looking in....

365- Day 179

Weathered

A wind sock we got from a kite festival a few years ago, its lost its bright colours and looks a bit dull and sad now.

365- Day 178

still life

After needing to google for some inspiration, I came up with this. Harry had been playing with them and then they were left in a pile, so the camera came out!

 I played a little with the top one but it didnt quite do what I wanted it to, bottom pic is the original picture.

365- Day 177

sizzling

sorry not much sizzling here. It has been school sports day, luckily no rain.

 It was a bit different to our usual sports day and they had some other events, one was hula hooping which Daniel was really good at, he lasted a minute.

 Evie, preparing for her next event, lol

 The sprint and the egg and spoon race.

 Daniel skipping.

 ....and for my sizzling photo, a plane. We saw lots of low flying planes so dont know what was going on, typically i didnt have my camera out when most of them went over, caught this one at home. I am sure it may go to a sizzling hot country one day or maybe it has a sizzling engine....lol.

365- Day 176

pleasure

quite a tough word today, lots of things and people give me pleasure and quite a few of those have been featured on here...while i was doing my usual look around for inspiration i saw my flowers that Evie chose for my birthday on the 11th, they are still going strong and look so lovely in the window which has been seeing a lot of miserable weather recently.

365- Day 175

nature

 in the green house, some celery plants and tomoato plants all grown from seed- nature being very clever. Also a little lemon seed has started to sprout.

 The biggest tomato plants.

Daniel making some bread- he wasnt impressed with the stickyness and wasnt long before dad had to take over.

365- Day 174

sunshine

No sun here again today, we had wind and rain....not as much rain as yesterday though.

 I had a little play with the camera and took it off auto focus and on to manual....so I could get the raindrops on the window....as I said not as many as yesterday, but still rain.

 Not nice clouds either, lol

 So here are my little sunshines....Daniel and Evie not arguing for a few mins.

 ....and this little man. They are all up in bed now too so I can get blogging and knitting while football is on (again).

365- Day 173

same...but different day 7- the final day!!

We had lots and lots of rain this morning!

After dinner I went to help in school and bendy wizard actually did some magic. Can you remember the dry washing pile that he was in yesterday....well he magically ironed it while I was out, yay!

 We we all got back from school he decided he wanted to play, so he joined Daniel on his DS....

 he then found the washing machine....good job he didnt manage to switch it on!

 Oh he is getting very brave and ventured for a cuddle with the cat, he must have used his magical powers again because the cat wasnt one bit bothered by him....very strange.

365- Day 172

same...but different day 6

Bendy wizard had a strange day, he decided to jump in the washing basket after I had brought it back inside. Makes a nice change to dry washing outside after all the rain we have had recently.

 We went shopping but the wizard decided to stay at home, he soon was spotted in the fridge to see what we had stocked it with.

 Next he found the car that belongs to Daniel (I think Richard has just as much fun with it though), good job it isnt working at the moment as I feared wizard would have gone for a long ride.

 Evie came home from Rainbows with her very own olympic torch. They made them at the meeting and then walked round the village with them!

365- Day 171

same...but different day 5


After being all helpful, the wizard has decided to take over. He has hijacked the remote!

 To watch football.....

 apparently England is playing. He said I can watch holby on iplayer, the cheek of the wizard!

365- Day 170

same...but different Day 4

I went shopping this morning, but bendy wizard was abit shy and stayed the whole time in my bag. I was only wanting shoes and a bag and got nothing, typical shopping habit that I have.
Anyway when I got home the wizard felt a bit more curious....he ventured outside but found the grass like a jungle....some how he managed to persuade Richard to cut the grass....

 He even managed to do some magic and hopped on to the lawn mower....honestly

see....the blue arrow as proof!

 He then decided to help me with some knitting. Its the same yarn I used for Evies socks, she is having a summery scarf done with the remaining yarn.

365- Day 169

same...but different, day 3

 Oh dear bendy wizard thought it looked interesting near Harry's activity centre....dont think he will be venturing over there again....

 He soon cheered up at the sight of strawberries.

 he decided he would have a closer look.

 Then he wondered what I had been upto, so he had a look at a LO I did this afternoon.
