2. Every Day beauty - the moonrise

3. Hidden - there a new worlds to explore and thoroughly enjoy in stories and books

4. On your feet - squishy mud!

5.Walk this way - through the rainforest garden at the botanical gardens

 

6. Change - we found this shell of a grub at the park near our house in perfect

condition as if the grub needed to change its skin!

7. Anxiety - I was really stressing this Easter that the boys wouldn't get to experience the yummy taste of hot cross buns because you can't buy gluten free ones in the shops. I got the recipe from a friend and on Easter Sunday morning we made them yummy!

8. A New point of view - I have been trying to use different perspectives in my photos lately and here is one where I got on the ground to capture Tyler's chubby hands while he played with the Thomas Trains.

9. Dreary - we had a dreary day with a big storm to top it off. The boys love it when there is a big storm because they get to puddle jump but there is always a rainbow after the rain (or maybe in this case during it!)

10. Growth - Our little man is growing up so fast. He is now starting trace his letters, recognise them and associate words with the letters. He can spell out and write his own name now!

11. Technology - We all love the computer! Caden can turn it on and get into what ever program he likes to play as well as the Internet!

12. Joy is.... the look on Tyler's face when bouncing a balloon around!

13. Beginning - We are nearly at the end of the second month of Autumn and the leaves on the trees are BEGINNING to change!

  

14. What Matters Most - that we are a family and that we get to do things together - like blow out candles on our cakes!!

15. Lonely - this rope swing looks really lonely all on its own at the river. Come summer time it will be busy again!

16. Behind - One of my favourite photos of the boys watching TV snuggled in together!

17. Out the window. This beautiful blue sky was what I saw out my window today!!

18. Strength - this cool gnarly tree is all about strength - how it can even stand with the help of a piece of wood is amazing!

19. Irritating - this toy that the boys have is the most irritating thing they have ever been given. G'ma gave this to Caden for his second Christmas and while both the boys love it I cannot stand the noise. G'ma never really understood how irritating it really is until she had it and the boys together one weekend!

20 - Simple pleasures - Hot chocolate with marshmallows (I know it is very over processed but I thought that the marshmallows looked so cool like this!!)

21. Shapes. Caden's birthday card for daddy is made up of all different shapes! he even wrote his own name!

22. Upside down. It seems to me that in autumn the leaves always fall up side down to the ground!

23. Hope - I hope that these rain clouds bring some much needed rain!

24. Retro - this pile of discarded mufflers reminded me of movies back from the 80's and I thought that they looked the part of retro!!

 

25. Window shopping - ok totally different take but when I look at this shot of Josy it really makes me wonder if cats ever want holidays! She is here checking out the canvas I made of our trip to New Zealand a few years ago. window shopping cat style!!

 

Yay I did it all 26 things in march and April - granted most were done in April but I made it!!
