way behind again. just can’t seem to find the time to blog these lately. but here we go.

day 20.
i’ve done this type of photo a million times. but i needed one for my photo-a-day book, as i love it so much! our street is so cool, i love that we can play out there with no fear of getting run over!

day 21.
i was hosting a workshop for the wonderfully talented dale taylor and today was the photo shoot to start it all off. my husband was going to be late home from work, so i had to take my boys…which really turned out to be a bit of a disaster, and I didn’t get anywhere near as many photos as i would have liked. i did end up with this one of max that is very typical of him! he loves to perform!

day 22.
this is the sunset that we would have LOVED at yesterday’s photo shoot. instead we were stuck with no sun and just cloud. this sunset would have made spectacular photos for our workshop. SPECTACULAR! but alas, it was not to be. instead it made for a spectacular photo-a-day photo for day 22!

day 23.
the last day of dale’s workshop and i was exhausted. the kids were playing peek a boo over the fence and this was all i had the energy to muster up! if i had’ve had more energy i would have made them move a bit so the house wasn’t in the background. would have made a much stronger photo. oh well.

day 24.
we had promised max a trip to australia zoo for his birthday, while ben10 was there. this was the last day we could do it. so off to australia zoo we went! it was a wonderful, hot, exhausting day. but totally worth it! also my big sister’s happy birthday. not telling how old she is!

day 25.
the kids are into making forts in our house. and they end up being huge and messy. but they love it! (and yes, max seems to be pulling a face of some sort in almost every photo. i’m very aware of that. can’t stop him though!)

day 26.
happy australia day!
subtitled: how many kids can you squeeze into one clam shell?

and lastly.
day 27.
sambo’s first day of school. something that i was excited and terrified about. i managed to get his lunch ready, and get there on time. that in itself is a miracle. sambo went through a few different emotions, and it ended up with us both crying when i had to say goodbye (i don’t think he realised i was crying though, hopefully not anyway). clydey was dropping max off at his new daycare and went through the exact same thing! at the end of the day, sambo came out with a big grin in his face and told us how much he LOVED his new school. he doesn’t go again until monday, so fingers crossed he remembers just how much he loves it, lol. i am so proud of him – my big school boy!
