{A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013}

Ryder: Give him space, fresh air and a swing set and he's one happy boy. 

Ella: Up on stage, performing her little heart out in a local Arts Festival. Super proud Mummy moment.

This week, I did something for the '52 A Portrait A Week' project that I said I wouldn't do  - I've used iPhone / Instagram photos instead of 'better' quality shots from my DSLR. But, it's been a week that required my attention and focus in other areas, and my camera hardly got used. However, my iPhone is always on hand and had these great captures of my 2 little Loves.

Hope you all had a fab weekend.

Ryder: Insisting of wearing his sister's shoes around the house, even though they're too big {and pink}. Sporting yet another little bruise to the forehead from one of his recent stumbles and his ever-cheeky smile.

Ella: The winter pj's have come out - all snugged up one coolish morning - with her toy cat in hand, of course.

 Hope you all had a fab weekend.

P.S. Sorry if my photo quality looks a little crapola this week - I did something to the file size when uploading them and my kid's faces have become a little blury. Will try and fix later :)

6 Pictures.

Eden prompted the bloggy world to share some of their favourite photos from the week! Yah, this Mumma couldn't resist.....coz between my 2 cameras plus my iPhone....I take A LOT of photos!

Here's just a very few from this past week.....

I had Ella's first 'parent / teacher' interview this week. Her Kindy teacher is all kinds of lovely & we're happy with how things are traveling. In a nutshell....we're super proud of our girl. She's rockin' this Kindy gig :) I took a quick photo of 'Our Family' that she drew! Haaa....love the Rapunzel hair....and her commentary the teacher has written :) {not quite sure why I'm bald....again! lol}

Mr Ryder has been CRANKY this week! I love him dearly and think he's all kinds of scrumptious flavours......but gosh I wish the boy would sleep more! Piddly 20minute sleeps during the day & still waking approximately 4 million times per night.....c'mon! Don't know if it's teething, growth spurt, or just him being him.....but I really think if he napped just a bit longer than 20minutes at a time.....he'd probably be a lot happier for it....and so would I....just sayin'. Hoping our content little man returns sooooon.

I actually really like this photo of Ella & I. Maybe coz my sunnies hide the bags under my eyes haaa!

Last Sunday, Ella & I headed to her Kindy for 'Family Day'. We had planned to go as a 'family'....all four of us, but Chris offered to stay home with Mr Cranky-Pants {refer to above comment}, to give this Mumma a break. Thank you Chris.....THANK YOU!! Love you xxx And I enjoyed a few hours out with my little lady. It was actually kind of fun...even though we had to wear dorky name tags & I had 2 four year olds ask me where my hat was...coz the rule is "No Hat, No Play!" Eeeekkksss....I didn't know there was going to be hat monitors there. Bad Mummy!! :)

The fire brigade were there. Ella was a little shy at first about the whole hose experience....but once she saw her friend Leilah do it....she was keen :)

So there....a few quickie snap shots from the week :)

How has your week been? Ready for a new one?

Happy Sunday All x
