STILLS: A WEEKLY COLLECTION (WEEK 27)

Linking up with Emma at The Beetle Shack for Weekly Stills, the holiday edition.  I have lots more beautiful photos of Byron Bay which I'll post in the next few days as it will need it's own post.

We picked this lemon this week as it was finally ripe.

Sienna filling up the water balloons at the tap.

Her collection stored in the wheelbarrow.

Winter in Queensland's Coolangatta.

Sienna enjoying participating in a card trick at the Magic Shop at Coolangatta.

More tricks by the business owner and his daughter also did some tricks which was lots of fun.

James deciding on which "Bicycle Cards" to buy to do his tricks with.

And the Magic Book which was highly recommended comes with a DVD.  James used his pocket money to buy these two items which he was thrilled about as he has been wanting the "Bicycle Cards" and a book for a while now.

James and Sienna at the border of Qld and NSW.

And the three of us at the border....this textured concrete was difficult for the camera to focus as it just "grabbed on" to the concrete and not the people as it was so dominant but hey, it's the memory.

Sienna picking lots of tomatoes so they can ripen inside rather than having little bugs eat them.

Considering these plants self seeded, that's not a bad harvest of tomatoes in my opinion.

Sienna and Aunty Lisa going through her "portfolio" of Term 2 work.

Sienna and Aunty Lisa (my sister) reading stories that Sienna wrote and couldn't stop laughing. I love this picture.

Sienna checking out the early morning fog with me the other day.

Byron Bay Lighthouse which we visited the other day and I'm sure I haven't been there since I was in my late teens, early twenties so in other words....years.

Sienna checking out the view....it would have been better if Mum had got $2.00 out of her purse for her.

Yes, we walked down to the end of this spot which wasn't too bad however the return journey was another story....I think it took me 3 times as long to get back up to the top. OMG my legs the next couple of days were sore.

James at the most easterly point of Australia.

27/52 - "The 52 Project"

Linking up with Jodi at Practising Simplicity to take a portrait of your child every week for 52 weeks. 

"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014."

James :   In the magic shop buying some "Bicycle" cards which he has wanted for months.

Sienna :   Collecting some more shells for her "Shell Collection" on the beach at Byron Bay.

STILLS : A WEEKLY COLLECTION (WEEK 26)

Posting these pictures much later than usual as life has been busy.  This is what happened in our life a couple of weeks ago.  Linking up with Emma at The Beetle Shack for Weekly Stills.

James helping me out with my photography homework being a good model for my BBF (Back Button Focusing) practise during Karen Russells' "Focus" forum.

Sienna on her Ukulele giving us some tunes.

Celebration of Learning for Sienna's grade 3 class.

Last day of school before the holidays was PJ's day and "Chocolate" the teddy went along too.

Mummy and Sienna cuddles out at "Grilled" to celebrate the end of Term 2.

James and his burger ready to eat.

My Burger which was absolutely delicious and the chips with the herb seasoning was out of this world.

Patting the local horses and feeding them some grass. The kids are both happy and smiling in this photo which I love.  The horses are so funny because they love when you come over to pat them and one nudged Sienna in the back gently to let her know he wanted a pat as well.  It was so funny.

STILLS: A WEEKLY COLLECTION (WEEK 25)

Linking up with Emma at The Beetle Shack for weekly stills and we are nearly half way through the year.  Here's what was happening in our world this past week.

James bedroom at the moment....we will be getting stuck into a big tidy up on the holidays.

Sienna's bedroom at the moment and again we will be having a big tidy up on the holidays but this is real life.

My windows in the study need a good clean.

Our other living area as it is right now.

James cooking up some pikelets after school for afternoon tea.

Sports carnival morning tea time where they played some groovy songs over the loud speaker and everyone was dancing and going crazy and it was so lovely to watch.  Sienna is in the yellow hat and yellow shirt on the right of the group.

The girls were having such a fun time dancing together.

The big group at the back were jumping up and then all laying on the ground together to some song and it looked so cool.

My little happy groover in yellow.

James having his turn at Shot Put.

I caught a happy smile while he and his class mates were waiting for their turn.

James doing his bit for the relay team.

Sienna doing her bit for the relay team.

At home Sienna set up her own pulley system using some wool and a little box type container.  She read about this in her morning school reader.  She's so entertaining and creative this girl.

Saturday she set up a swing for teddy on the clothe line again using the ball of wool and a little cardboard box.
