Day 251 - Natural

Today's photo prompt was "natural" and that's certainly what this is... Henry is a natural clown in front of the camera some days!

Day 249 - Flat Out Reading

A little still life left for me in the classroom by one of my students :)

Day 248 - Bedroom Makeover

Today's Clean Up Challenge was the main bedroom. So far so good, although not completely finished yet. I am amazed what a difference it makes having everything so tidy. I truly think that this could lead to sleeping better!

Day 247 - Being an Organised Housewife

So I am not a housewife, but even so, I love the ideas on The Organised Housewife's blog. This month The Organised Housewife is running a 20 Day Challenge to Clean and Organise your home. I don't know if I will be able to keep up or complete everything, because I can't start any of the main tasks until after 8.30pm, but there are always up and coming school holidays available to finish it off. Tonight's task was to clean the kitchen... REALLY clean it. I got rid of every bit of clutter, cleaned the cupboard fronts, the stove and under the sink. I put the rangehood filter in the dishwasher (there's a handy hint for you) and generally got it all looking good! Now the challenge is to clean it up every evening straight after dinner, before collapsing on the couch!

Day 246 - Father and Son

Before I finally got this cute shot, I did get a rather amusing series of Dale and Henry while trying to get them closer together for a Father / Son shot. With Henry in the bath and Dale out of the bath, it wasn't easy!

Day 245 - Bed Time Lego Man

This is what I found this evening... Henry putting all of his Lego Men into our bed! He neatly tucked them in, with their faces poking out and turned out the lamp that he had on when he was done. It was all just so cute. Henry is very attached to his Lego Men... so much so, that they have to have baths with him some nights and also sleep with him sometimes (so cuddly?!). He has recently started with a lot more imaginary play which is so amusing to watch.

Day 244 - Hidden

Last photo for the month and its title is Hidden. It is the cute little lock on my jewellery box. Looks more sinister than it really is, right?

It's my aim to get back into the photos with stories behind them a bit more in September. Let's see how I go. It is so easy to fall back on Photo A Day, which has produced some photos that I am very happy with, however for this blog it is my aim to document our life a bit more. Let's just say that life right now is busy!
