The boys did some painting on their new art easels this afternoon. just a little because it was just too hot to stay outside any huge amount of time. here are a few..
Then it was into the pool for a splash. T wanted the bucket instead!
I took these in RAW for the first time and pp them - to print mainly but also used a old skool preset on them which reminds me of my baby photos!

These were taken a couple of weeks ago with thinking about putting them into a layout or 2! but then I have been trying to think of how to do home sweet home here.
Today has been a bit stress filled with me making a decision to pursue my photography to a point that I will hopefully be able to draw an income from it. I realised that when you go to bed thinking about it and wake thinking about that you need to do something about following that passion to something bigger. Even if I just take it so that I learn to improve my family photos and for just pure enjoyment I felt like I have to do it. I was reading this blog ( and a lot of other very very amazingly wonderful blogs)and it has inspired me to better myself photographically by working really hard - Thank you Becky and the 2 peas people who show such inspiring photos and give out such fantastic advice and comments. I have decided to set some goals and work towards them! so thank you!
So after much fuss and a bit of thinking hard again here are some shots of a map that I took of the town to see the main sights (cropped and played with in PS and added a texture. still not sure but it might have to be go back and try again to get a better photo next time) and the boys riding their bikes back into the street in which we live (this is only cropped but otherwise SOOC)!

I walked out and saw this sky last night. I was pretty happy with how they turned out. I tried out the new coffee shop actions (found here) on these to pop the colours a bit.
and just a touch of colour! the boys truck on the grass.

Today we got five Yabbies for the fish tank. Hmm... I was thinking but I have to admit the boys and particularly Caden are VERY fascinated by them! C has take a HEAP of photos - some of which I will download & post later but here are a couple of our new arrivals to our home..
I guess we are going to have to see what happens between them and the fish!

As again it was over 40 degrees. after Daz went to work the boys started squirting their drink bottles at other - yeah not too good considering they were full of juice!
BRAINWAVE!!
we dashed over to the shops and got these....
$8.95 for three!
water squirters to cool down, fun for the kids - priceless!

The kids decided to hit our wading pool at 7.30 this morning! hope none of the neighbours wanted to sleep in! Sunday morning and there we were outside. luckily it was hot enough to do it!
Daz took the boys to Bunnings to get the beginnings of art boards to hang on the wall to create wall mounted easels for them. Here they are decorating them. Daddy even painted C with his 'sword' standing on a rainbow on his!
Tyler checking out his handy work!
and my flowers from yesterday are more into bloom!
