Day 285 - Wet and Spotty

It was a very wet and miserable day today. I was quite happy to stay inside - without a duty today at school, made for a very productive day. My beautiful bright spotty umbrella brightened the day a little when I did have to go outside. This is all I managed to get a photo of today - luckily it fitted with the theme of 'close up'.

Day 269 - Madie

Today's theme for Photo a day was frame. While enjoying a delicious lunch at Helen's house, I did observe some frames that would have been fun to use. Instead when I went to pick up Dad for dinner, I had a little brain wave and took a photo of my neice Madison framing her beautiful big eyes. I am quite happy with this image, captures Madison very well I believe.

Day 267 - Before Bed

Before bed, we pick 2 books from the bookshelf to read before we go to sleep. Sometimes we seem to be reading 'The Gruffalo' every night! We usually let the girls choose a book each, but often Ava is too busy getting into bed, she actually misses out on picking... which I think ends up okay, because then I get to choose!

Day 262 - Price

Tonight I fuelled up the car in preparation for a trip down to Sunshine bay for work tomorrow. I quite liked the reflection in the petrol bowser of the dark skies, which are threatening my Wednesday to be anything but full of sunshine. I possibly don't notice the price of petrol as often as I should. I guess it is a little expensive.

Day 260 - Strange

Today we took the girls to their movies, Ava who is pictured above, is usually my television junkie. However today, while at the movies, she asked if we could go home and covered her eyes. Which is why I picked this photo for today's photo a day topic of Strange.

We went to watch Madagascar 3, which incidentally, she loved and did not cover her eyes again.

Day 255 - Hero

Hero: a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities.

There are many people who I believe fit the description of Hero as listed above. None more so than Shane. He being the girl's hero. He is indeed the Superdad, there isn't anything he wouldn't do for his girls.

Day 252 - At night

There are lots of things around the home that I do not enjoy - dishes, washing - both pegging out and folding and cleaning the bathroom. Today's theme for the photo a day was at night - at night there are always dishes left over that do not fit into the dishwasher, I do try and wash them up so that when we get up there is a clean cupboard awaiting us. Some nights, that just does not happen. Hopefully in the holidays I can create a new routine... fingers crossed!

Day 251 - Natual

The topic for today's Photo a Day is Natural - being home sick still I captured only what my girls think is natural. Carrying Jemima around upside down and walking around with a dress up on each and every day, which I find to be just adorable.

Day 249 - bright

Luckily today's theme for the September Photo a Day challenge was a simple photo - Bright. I didn't see much of the bright sun outside, I saw the bright light of my lamp on my bedside table. I was still at home sick, with the doctor giving me the rest of the week off.

Day 237 - Path

This is our very leafy path out the front of our house. It takes you around to the side gate. As you can probably tell, this path doesn't get used an awful lot, but I really should try and get out there to tidy it up a little bit to make it more enticing!

To inject a little inspiration into my blog this month, I have decided to play along with the challenge presented on Fat Mum Slim's blog (www.fatmumslim.com.au) and for today the theme was Day 24 - Path

Day 236 - Pair

What a crazy pair I have! Ava was busily eating the whole strawberry that Took gave them on the way out of the door at daycare today. Olivia as you can see, ate it so quickly she was ready for a beautiful smile on our walk out of daycare and up the hill to our home.

Day 235 - Home

This is the entrance to my home - complete with sand filled shoes on the shelves that my mum purchased to put plants on - which as you can see has not actually happened yet! Lucky for Olivia and Ava there is plenty of room for sand filled shoes!

Day 234 - Cool

Tonight I enjoyed a celebratory glass of cool, crisp wine. It isn't often I have a drink during the week, but I found out this afternoon that I got the position that I interviewed for yesterday! Very exciting times ahead!

Day 233 - Today

Today I had a job interview for a job at Jerrabomberra Public School - so I suited up which included wearing my lovely Diana Ferrari black heels. Interviews are a completely nerve wrecking time I am so glad it is over.

Day 225 - Spoon

Those of you who know my children will see the complete irony in this image. My girls who hate animals - cats especially, fight over this spoon! It is officially Olivia's spoon, but sometimes Ava sneaks in breakfast with the cats. Really I guess I should try and find a second one... maybe one day.

Day 221 - Glasses

I have many pairs of glasses. I have had many since getting my first pair in Year 9. The glasses in today's photo have been one of my favourite pairs, unfortunately they have begun pinching my nose a little - so I have gone and chosen another pair. The good thing is that my prescription has not changed, which means when I feel like a bit of a change, I can still wear them.

Day 220 - 8 o'clock

8 o'clock brings us much peace. The girls are usually in bed and Ava is usually fast asleep and snoring within seconds of us turning the light out and saying goodnight!

Day 219 - Writing

Enjoyed a meeting tonight at Koko Black with Amelia about organising the 2013 Australian Multiple Birth National Convention. There is a vast variety of delicious chocolatey goodness on the menu, it was really hard to choose.

Day 215 - One

Ava is always happy to pose for photos. Today's photo was one. This photo is in many ways indeed 1... 1 of my children, 1 finger, 1 smile, 1 drink bottle even just 1 very gorgeous girl of mine.

Day 213 - Toothbrush

Cleaning teeth is seen by the girls - luckily, as such a fun thing to do. They have even begun brushing their own teeth by themselves, followed by a rigorous scrub by Shane or myself. Next step - teaching them to spit out the toothpaste rather than to swallow.
