The Graduate

 I'm STILL trying to organise my holiday photos for the blog! It's been super hectic with Christmas and birthdays and....

my baby girl graduated from preschool!

I'm so proud of her..

They had a little Christmas party and graduation ceremony at the preschool. There was a magician and a visit from Santa Claus and the graduates all got a certificate and a story book :)

I asked her teachers to sign the book for her. I think I was the only parent who did, lol but I like having special keepsakes for every occasion!

They both wrote a beautiful message for her :)

We've Been on Holidays!

Last week my little family and I went on a summer holiday to the Gold Coast in QLD, yay! We had an awesome time and I have PLENTY of photos to share on here. I'll just have to leave you with a peak today though because hubby has this week off work too and he keeps giving me "the look" for sitting at the computer ;D

My little beach babe enjoying the perfect weather we had every single day :)

  

In the Backyard..

 The other day I took some photos of my little monkeys being, well, little monkeys in the backyard :D

I was trying to take photos of William, so naturally Charlotte decides that this will be the one time she actually WANTS to be in the picture, lol

 

She kept jumping up at me hehe

William thought he might like to climb the fence...he didn't get very far, lol

I really love his Goonies tshirt :D

Concentrating hard on his game of cars :)

He still has chubby baby fingers :)

And this is what hubby bought home for them last week =O

He bought it really cheap off a workmate whose kiddos have outgrown it. Guess who's the favourite parent??!!

xxx

It's Hard Work Being Four....

...but someone has to do it ;D

 

In The Clover..

The other day while Charlotte was picking 'treasures' I started taking photos of the flowers in the clover. Some were really big, some were tiny and then I found one that was perfect. Big, bright white and in full bloom, not droopy or wilted or trodden on by Charlotte haha.

Who knew they were so pretty!

I used my Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 for all these shots :) 

The settings were: 1/100 f/4.5 ISO200

They look beautiful from above :)

And just as beautiful from the side :)

 

I'm really pleased with how they turned out!

Now, I invite you all to "LOL" at me for Faith's Simplicity challenge this week =D

You see, in my head, I'd said "Let's all pull a funny face!"but, it turns out my family are not all mind readers so we ended up with a super cute photo of my little family...ruined by silly old Mummy LOL. I really hate this photo of me, I look like a hippo or a member of Kiss haha.

We're all wearing the spectacular crowns that Charlotte fashioned for us out of paper, pom poms, feathers and stars :) I think they're AWESOME!

Thanks for stopping by!!

At The Japanese Gardens

 On Saturday we took the kids to the Japanese Gardens. We used to live only a few streets away and would visit all the time, but now that we've moved we hadn't been in ages!

It's a great little activity for when there's nothing else to do, it's free to get in and then $1 for a bag of fish food :)

 Charlotte likes to eat the fish food *barf* even though we always tell her not to!

 The classic Charlotte awkward pose haha!

Show and Tell - Black & White: William and daddy watching the fishies :)

  

 

Sulking because I asked for a photo of her and William together. How dare I!!

My little family :)

I'm grateful that my hubby tried to get the kids to cooperate for a photo without me having to beg him, lol
