Guess what?



I scrapped!!! don't know how I found time this week but I did and really enjoyed it too. For some reason Blogger is listing them without pics so no idea what order these are going in but the one of Meg is especially for Louise to show I have finally scrapped some pics before her first birthday.

Grrrr no idea what is going on with Blogger - cant get these in the right order at all - and they are naff pics too with poor crops but hey I enjoyed doing the layouts and that's all that matters right now :) Had all 4 children poorly today with coughs and colds - Meg is full of snot and coughing like a 40 a day smoker - heading for a rough night so planning an early one :)

Daily pictures 17-20th Jan

For some reason these are in the wrong order? Firstly a terrible pic of Meg where she looks positively drunk :) followed by the one I was after - one showing her 'fangs' - she has 4 teeth now but has got the top side teeth before the middle ones so really has fangs when she smiles.

The cutest picture of Ben spontaneously kissing Meg - was so glad I had my camera in my hand to catch that one. Sophie busy scrapping at Mum's at the weekend and lastly Megan about to dive on Ben's head - she rocks forward onto her feet and almost stands already - she loves pulling Ben's hair and he doesn't seem to mind - hours of free fun to be had playing with your big brother's hair!





Don't worry it isn't real!!


It's really hard being an orthopod's daughter - we don't have proper toys and teething rings Meg has to gnaw on a fake femur :)

Daily photos

 

Next lot of daily pictures - think it'll be so much easier to see what I took if I keep up to date with collages - still trying to print daily pictures from last year and only got as far as July! Again a lot of Meg and Sophie - must try to take more pictures of the boys - so taking daily photos has already helped me see where I can change things. Sophie got her first glasses yesterday and I was worried she would no longer want her photo taken but she is happy to pose :)

Sophie's new look

 

Unbelievably after the paddy on Monday when Sophie had her eyes tested and found she needed glasses she was absolutely fine when we went to pick them up today and has hardly taken them off since. She looks incredibly grown up and I am so proud of her for getting over this hurdle.

9 on the 9th


These are the pictures I have chosen to represent my 9 on the ninth for yesterday. A typical weekday with recycling, pumping the cellar and feeding children. The current book I am reading - a trashy novel and the time I went to bed. Sophie had some new clothes from NEXT to try on. Tom wasnt cooperating so doesnt appear :)

photo a day .........again!!

Happy New Year everyone :)

Really enjoyed taking daily photos last year but having accidentally missed a day in September it wasnt the same and I missed several other days after that too so decided to try again this year. I also havent done anything with last year's photos yet - with all my 'ordinary' photos there are just too many and the task feels overwhelming. So this year I am going to collage every week or so and scrap that - reducing the number of photos and also chosing and numbering as I go. So far so good - first nine done. This way also helps me see I have rather a lot of pics of Megan and little of anything else - must change that! Megan is crawling at speed now so much less easy a photo subject.

Mum and I are also doing 9 photos on the 9th as it is 2009 - these will hopefully be blogged tomorrow.
