My Muddy Princess

I've finally found the time to share Charlotte's muddy puddle shoot :)

She had SO.MUCH.FUN doing this and thought I was the coolest Mum ever, lol. Who wouldn't want to jump in a muddy puddle wearing gumboots and their best party dress?

 *Massive photo dump ahead*

Getting ready to head in..

Stepping into the puddle..

A small test jump...

Then she got down to business!

I thought this was a bit of a crazy face hehe

I love this shot of my princess :)

Sweet Shot Tuesday and Happy Monday 'Something You Love' (I love my pretty girl :) )

 

A BIG splash!

She was getting some height!

Perceptive Perspective 'Outdoors' Challenge

As you can imagine her boots kept filling up with a LOT of muddy water, lol

I took these at about 3:30pm and caught some beautiful light, I still need a lot of practice at how best to use it though!

Simplicity's 'Messy' Challenge

Her dress was very messy by then end of our little session!

Having a sit down, lol

Squeezing out the muddy juice haha!

I put her dress straight in the wash when we got home and it came out spotless :D Phew!





 
I encourage all the mammas to let their kids jump in a muddy puddle, great fun and great photos!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Happy Mother's Day for Sunday!

I think this year was my bestest Mother's Day yet :)

Charlotte is in Preschool this year so I got my first handmade preschool gift!

They drew a picture on a card (it's Charlotte and I going for a walk..she's never had much patience for drawing or colouring in, lol, she's an outdoor girl!) and it was laminated with a little Mother's day verse:

Then on the back it said "What I love best about my Mum is...." and they had to tell the teacher what to

write: 

Yep. What my 4 year old loves the best about me is that I let her get fish and chips for lunch!! hehehe I think the last time we had fish and chips was about a month ago when she wasn't feeling well and wanted hot chippies :) 

I also got some beautiful blue sparkly tea light candles to go with my card that she picked out herself :) She was at the shops with my Mum and she saw them and said "Oh Mummy would really really love these Grandma!" 

Isn't she the sweetest? :)

I've already used two of them in my oil burner :)

The glittery one is our favourite :)

(I'll be in trouble if I don't mention that my hubby also got my two very expensive tickets to see Mary Poppins at the Capitol theatre in July too!! I'm super excited about it and I didn't even have to hint that I wanted them! But the candles and card are just too sweet, don't you think?)

 

Has Blogger been playing up for anyone else? I couldn't post for 24 hours, it seemed to mainly be Australia and new Zealand that were affected....it's only just come back on now but my first post froze up so I had to start over in a new window..... :/

Touch Up Tuesday!

We have this really awesome new playground that's just opened near us, so we took the kiddies there after swimming lessons on Saturday :) We had a little fish n chips picnic under a tree then went and did some playing! They just love it there, I really should share a video of William giggling on the swing!

Anyhoo...I snapped this nice picture of Miss Charlotte on the big net swing (I don't know what ts actually called, lol) but it needed a bit of jazzing up :D

sooc

Edit

I didn't do anything fancy, I cropped it in and just ran Nelly Nero's Pump Me Up! and then CoffeeShop's Sun Kissed and adjusted them til I was happy with the result :)

For more Tuesday touch ups head to the always fabulous Paper Heart Camera

And over at The Trendy Treehouse the theme is Bubbles! I have lots and lots of bubble pictures but this was yesterday:

Charlotte got this fairy dress for Christmas from her Aunty so we took it for a twirl under the bubble machine! Except she's a bit distracted by her home grown strawberry here, lol
