Photoaday July Fail!

I was determined to do photoaday again this month as I had really enjoyed it - capturing a moment each day that might have otherwise gone unnoticed. Well the intent was there, but I failed! I did manage to do it for the first nine days, but given tax season has arrived and I spend a large amount of my day sitting in an office, my pictures are quite dull and I wasn't enjoying it. I will try again next month or maybe September when things quieten down. Anyway here are the first (and only) 9 days ...

1. Self-Portrait ... Me, myself and I. I cheated on this, and used an older picture. This is the last picture I took of myself from about 4 months ago! Once I start losing weight I am all about the self-portraits, but until then, this will have to do!

2. Busy ... End of Financial Year is here and I definitely am busy, but a pile of tax papers doesn't make for a good picture! Later in the night as I was cleaning downstairs at mums, Cassius came running to me telling me Kingston needed my help. I went upstairs to find the fatty was stuck between the chair and the wall! He was too 'busy' playing he got stuck!

3. Best part of your day ... Given how busy I am at this time of year, I find the best part of my days are when I sit and do nothing but feed my boy!

4. Fun ... This was taken of the boys cheering on NSW with the husband during State of Origin! Love this pic, although I do wish I had taken it my DSLR instead of my iPhone!

5. On the floor ... Clearly the iPad ban has been lifted in our home!

6. Chair ... Boring!

7. Garden ... This isn't really a garden, but we were at football and this was the best I could do!

8. Lunch ... No time for 'lunch' that day. I finally read The Hunger Games Trilogy and was obsessed! You know how I get with my books! I was even slightly glad McCaw was sick as it meant I stayed home from church and could read!

9. Big ... Had a playdate with Pina at McDonalds, and thought how 'big' the playground must look in the eyes of our toddlers!

Well that's it ... Told you the pictures were boring, but it's still nice to have the memories xx

What happened to the Trees?

Driving into church today Cassius asked 'what happened to the trees mum?'

Our chapel car park is now lined with bare trees, signifying winter is well and truly here. I would never have noticed! My children are forever reminding me to appreciate the little things xx
