New tripod

This week I got a present. Its a late Mothers Day/Early anniversary present from Steve, a tripod for my camera.   Tonight I braved the cold and had a little play.  It was fun though trying to get a picture in focus was quite difficult.

A few of my favourite things.

Here are a few things that have made me smile over the past week…..

New gumboots for Miss Matilda,

She is back into the Mandarin phase, would eat them all day everyday but I need to limit her to just one a day otherwise she ends up with terrible nappy rash :-(

Declan and his desire to learn….

He won his second Homework Award this week and got 100% on his spelling test :-) He also designed the most gorgeous pair of earrings for me for Mothers Day which his teacher made.  I must remember to take a picture of them.

Riley and his cheeky little face…..

Sometimes he is such a handful and other times he is just the sweetest :-)   He is thriving at Kinder and coming up with all sorts of ideas (some good, some not so good).  He is really starting to think about situations and always tries to negotiate a better deal for himself!.  He has been unwell over the past week, croup (again!!!!). Lucky for us he just takes it in his stride and deals with it.

It was a good week :-)

OK better get a move on, I am about to attempt  roasting a whole chicken for dinner tonight, wish me luck.
