Photo a Day July - last days

I have now completed my third straight month of Fat Mum Slim's Photo a Day challenge and it is now a part of my day which I look forward to. As I rarely venture out of home with my three kidlets these days, it really has become a challenge to do but that's when I have to be creative and most often, the opportunity presents itself throughout the day. Here are the last few days of July:

Day 23. Mirror: Keira loves dressing up and dancing/ twirling in front of the mirror

Day 24. Stranger: I stood on my front lawn for 10 mins waiting for a stranger to walk past and no one did except our neighbour in his front garden so I went up to him and introduced myself - finally after 8 months. His name is Tony and we chatted for 30 mins and then I asked him for a photo. It took today's prompt to finally say hello to him! I wrote this on Fat Mum Slim's photo and she commented that she loved this story. This photo then gave me some insta fame with over 40 likes and 12 new followers...amazing what a little photo and caption can lead to!

Day 25. Heart: Keira's look this morning - heart shirt, beanie and pink bloomers over her tights. Her fashion statements always make our day :)

Day 26. Sunshine: The sunshine finally made an appearance after a gloomy start to the day

Day 27. On the Road: I was in Parramatta today and this is one of its on the road street art

Day 28. Cup: We had my friends Alwin and Charlie over for dinner. I made enchiladas and this picture is of the cup of dates needed for the sticky date pudding I made for dessert. It was a hit and I'm so glad to make an impression on Charlie the Chef

Day 29. Last thing I bought: I  bought this fancy dancy camera off my sister who has upgraded her camera for a bargain price. I had a great time playing with my new toy all weekend

Day 30. Calm: With the twins teething now, all is calm when they are asleep. I actually joined their hands together and they held it together for a few minutes - long enough to capture it :)

Day 31.Toothbrush: Keira's cute Mr Toothbrush - she finally enjoys brushing her teeth properly now! Better late than never! :)



Photo a Day July Part 1

Our internet has been down so I haven't been able to post on my blog lately. Here is part one of July's Photo a Day pics:

1. Self portrait - I was trying to take a self portrait but Keira kept on trying to get in the picture so in the end I included her in it :)

2. Busy - I was so busy packing my shopping that I almost forgot to take my $50 cash out. Thank goodness for the annoying computer voice reminding me to take my money!

3. Best part of my day - 2am shopping at 24 hour Kmart. No kids, no lines, no crowds and cheap prices = shopping bliss :) I go at this time when Damo gets home from work the all the kids are asleep :)

4. Fun - Keira loves bubbles and she had fun chasing them on our front lawn. It was a bit tricky trying to blow bubbles and take a picture with my phone at the same time but I'm happy with what I captured :)

5. On the floor - Twins playing and crawling around on the floor. They are moving around so much!

6. Chair - Keira was entertaining Montana in her high chair by singing Ring a Ring a Rosie and Montana was laughing at the Ah tissue part. It was sooo cute xo

7. Garden - Even in Winter my dad's backyard garden still looks lush!

8. Lunch - Baked Chilli Lime salmon with apple corn salad. It was delicious! One week of NO junk food detox down, two more to go. Healthy eating needs a little more prep but it is worth it

9. Big - Toot toot chugga chugga Big Red Car - Keira enjoyed this ride at Westfield and didn't want to get off! It looks like this car has seen better days!

10. My favourite colour - Yellow is my favourite colour but all my favourite fruits are red. I love watermelon, strawberries and cherries which are in season :)

11. Letter - M is for Missing. I found this letter in the backyard and other letters ALL over the place thanks to Miss Keira. Now my poor twins no longer have a floor mat :(

12. Texture - This is a tree from our front garden - I think it's a Mulberry tree. I took this in a rush because it was starting to rain but it turned out pretty good! :) 

13. Open - This is a boring picture of  waiting for the shopping door to open when I went grocery shopping with the kids and Dees who was over. It was the end of the day and I had totally forgot to get a picture so I took this while in a rush

14. Building - We didn't go out today so it was either this picture of Keira's doll house or my building washing basket. Damo said to go for the doll house haha Keira got it for Xmas from my sister and although she has lost most of the people and furniture she still loves playing with it

15. Finger - The best way to eat Cheesy Gobbles is on your finger haha I was lucky to get Keira to keep her hands still for this shot!

16. Sign - The twins had a bit of conjunctivitis and I found them like this when I went in to check on them. A heart melting sign of twin bonding xo

17. My addiction - I love my herbal teas which I drink 2-4 times a day. I especially love the Twinnings brand of berry flavours

18. Plate - I baked some Anzac biscuits and from the empty plate it looks like it was enjoyed by all :)

19. Pet - We don't have a pet so it was a stroke of luck that we went over to the Simpson's place today to do our tax and so I took a pic of their cute dog Terminator aka Termie

20. Eyes - Playing Peek a Boo with Montana

21. 9 o'clock - 9am and everyone is still asleep. I'm in bed editing iphone pics for my blog including this one of Lucas with Great grandma Maria. Love it xo

22. Upside down - I'm going to miss their cute little socks (and feet) when these are outgrown (which is very soon! :(
