May Photo A Day pics

I know I still have a blog ... been very slack at updating it sorry.  Doing a bit of a catch-up now.  Here's my pics from May photo a day.  Again I used the prompts from the FMS blog for this month most days.  

Day 1 - I bought this.  Maddison bought this My Little Pony with money from her money box and had great fun colouring it and adding the stickers :-)

Day 2 - Morning Ritual.  I actually read this as morning routine so took a self timer pic of me making sandwiches for the kids lunches.

Day 3 - This is Really Good!  Aaron & Maddison's school concert today.  Was quite neat to see their performances.

2nd pic of the day :-)  Maddison's class at the top (she's on the far left).  Aaron's class on the bottom, he's 2nd from the left.

Day 4 - In My Cup.  Well that would be ice peach tea in my bottle of course :-)

Maddison went to a school friends birthday party this day as well.  

And I couldn't resist taking a photo of the sunset reflected in the clouds in the east that night.

Day 5 - Malaysian General Election 2013, so took a photo of some of the MANY party flags around the city.

Day 6 - Broken.  Finally got a replacement cover for my ironing board!  Long over due.

Day 7 - Something beginning with F ... fragrant frangipani flower.

Day 8 - Shape.   Took a pic of this painted wall as we were driving past.  Looks quite effective ... much more exciting that boring grey concrete colour!

Day 9 - school field trip with Aaron's G2 class to Kidzania. I looked after these 3 young men.

A very noisy, messy end to the day!  Maddison cut her finger on a metal tape measure.  She got 3 stitches in her right middle finger. Good job she's left handed! The Dr said the tendons were okay thankfully, (and it's healed really good).

Day 11 - A Smile ... Samuel with the icing beater.  I was making his birthday cake.

We celebrated his birthday 2 days early as Lyndon was away for work on the actual day.  I made him a dinosaur cake with a little volcano on it :-)

Day 12 - Mother.  Mothers Day with my 3 little cherubs!

Day 13 - Maddison's teacher organised a mothers day morning tea.  The kids had all made their Mum's a very cool mothers day book.  It's a real keepsake :-)

 Day 13- The prompt today was Sunrise/Sunset.  I actually remembered to get both today!

Day 14 - I missed taking a photo for Day 14 photo but Lyndon sent me this drawing he did in a text message so that's going in my PL album too :-)

Day 15 - Aaron started Kumon.

Day 16 - much needed tidy up of my craft area ... still a lot to do, but I can see my desk better now!

Day 17 - sports day for both Samuel and Aaron.  Samuel didn't participate in his at all!  Aaron did well in his duathlon and came in third in his heat.

Day 18 - using prompt "mailbox" from day 16.

Day 21 - Had to get a pic of Samuel swimming with his lion and tiger while waiting for his swim instructor to arrive.

Day 22 - Homework time.

Day 23 - both Aaron and Maddison had a playdate today, so Samuel and I had some special time together :-)  Yummy frozen yoghurt.

Day 24 - Painting a picture of Daddy to hang on the wall.  Maddison drew him wearing "gloobes" (gloves!) hehehe

Day 25 - Skateboard ramp at our condo has started to be pulled down.  The safety measures are non-existent.  There was lots of exposed cut metal which was really dangerous.

Day 26 - Beautiful sunrise at 7.15am.

Still Day 26 - first time I have ever seen a full rainbow in Malaysia.  Kids were excited about seeing one too.

 Day 27 - Someone drove their Ferrari into Tom's tank!!

Day 28 - Aaron finished his Diorama on the Horned Lizard.

Day 29 - Transportation Project with Maddison's class.  She made the rocket at home with Daddy, and her and I made the "cruise liner" in class :-)   

Day 30 - Maddison's school field day (pre kindy and kindy classes)

Day 31- Aaron's school field day (grades 1 and 2)

Will try and get back with some other updates in the next couple of days.

Thanks again for visiting.

Photo a Day for April

Photos I've taken over the month of April for my Project Life album.  I mainly followed the photo prompts from FMS again.  I've missed a few days and some days I'm not sharing the photo, but as usual there's plenty of photos!  :-)

Day 1 - Play.  Spring break and I took Aaron and Maddison to Block Space (you can see more details here).

Day 2 - Blue.  Blue togs, blue dolphin, blue eel, blue tiles :-)

Day 3 - Something beginning with A ... Aaron the Artist (at Kidzania).

Day 4 - This happened today ... we went with some new friends back to Block Space :-)

Day 5 - Something good ... water to play in :-)

Day 6 - Air.  Glad of the ceiling fans circulating the air.

Day 7 - Dreamy ... didn't really have the right photo for this, but Aaron and Maddison were playing and Maddison was Aaron's "dog" hahaa She's in her kennel! It's a dream of their's to have a dog (sadly that dream will have to wait as we can't have one in a condo).

Day 8 - On my plate ... dinner tonight, rice, chicken & salad.

Maddison also (finally) earned all her puzzle pieces on her reward chart :-)  Much excitement.

Day 10 - A Place.  Local garage where Lyndon's car is being serviced.

Day 11 - Detail.  Love the detail on these hanging tea lights holders.

Day 12 - In the Middle.  Frozen Yoghurt :-)  Lyndon and I had dinner out without the kids - was very relaxing!

Day 13 - View from your bed.

And it was the big boys birthday :-)

Day 14 - Water.  Filling water bottles ready for the start of the school week.

Day 15 - Alone ... I can't seem to leave these alone!!! Lyndon bought a bag of them (Delicious choc covered almonds) and I think I have eaten more than my fair share!!

The 15th was also our 18th wedding anniversary.  Ahhh ... doesn't time bring change!!  ;-)

Day 16 - My favourite colour.  Red of course!  :-)

Day 17 - Busy - Traffic here is always busy.  Billboard made me laugh though!

Day 18 - Hello.  Why hello again Thai food :-)

Day 20 - On My Mind.  Hoping that the pages of my mini album hurry up and dry so I can get it finished during class!

Day 21 - Blurry.  Rain makes things blurry ... glad for window wipers.

Day 23 - Time. I spent some time with Samuel building a Thomas track.

Day 25 - Life is ... BUSY with little kids hehee  (This particular day I'd made chocolate cupcakes.  They were cooling on the bench and after a while I realised I hadn't heard Samuel for a while ... I followed the trail of cupcakes and found him on the deck scoffing two of them!)

Day 26 - Childhood. Making good childhood memories in the pool with friends.

26th we had Mari Makan (International Food Festival) at the kids school.  Parents only :-)  It was fantastic ... there was SO much food.  The New Zealanders put together and provided roast lamb - it was delicious :-)

There were about 13-15 NZ couples I think and we all had matching tee-shirts.

Day 27 - Earth - Earth week at the kids school. Loved the art displays hanging in the hall ways.

Day 28 - My Sunday.  After dinner was spent frantically trying to take pics of Maddison for her earth week homework project! (Nothing like leaving things to the last minute!)

Day 29 - I wore this today.  One of my new RM40 skirts :-)

I also wore a bit of this as well!  The room wore a whole lot more!!  Maddison and Samuel got into a nearly new LARGE bottle of talcum powder and spread it around the boys room.  What a jolly mess.  Terrible stuff to clean up.

When Aaron had his shower I just dumped all the blocks and plastic toys in the shower and he washed them for me ... then I tipped them out on the deck to dry :-)

The day ended with a beautiful sunset though.

Day 30 - Glasses.  My current glasses in the front with the top pair dating back to 1995!  The 2 or 3 previous pairs before that must be in storage in NZ ... I must have thought they were too large to come with us hahaha

So that's this month nearly over!  6 weeks left of school for the kids before summer break!  Unbelievable really how fast this year is going!
