fun in the sun!

Had some friends over today, here are the results. Was a great day, despite us all being sunburnt and exhausted right now lol. Enjoy :)

swinging!!

The girls had some friends over the other week, and they all went out to play on the swing set! It was a great opportunity to get some snaps of the girls doing there thing. Diva in typical Diva glory put on quite the show, even threw a tanty at the beginning and demanded no photo's.. I got that shot as you can see below. Enjoy :)

Beach Shoot.

Well what a day to pick to go to the beach... Out of all the stinking hot, cloud free days we have had in QLD.. I pick the cold, windy overcast one to spend at the beach doing photo's.

It was so windy, I could barely see what I was doing because my hair was in my face constantly, it's to short to put up, my stuff was being blown everywhere and I was EXTREMELY worried for my camera, so I babied it, using only the lens that was on it so I wouldn't have to risk damage changing lens' (such a sook lol)..

So It was a rush job, a few costume changes, Blue bottles on the beach which REALLY annoyed me 'cause it was also Bruiser's first beach encounter! As much as we were all expecting her to be afraid, she wasn't.. she LOVED it and just ran toward the ocean when we got there and really just wanted to stay in there. Just as well the kind stranger let us know about the blue bottles though, because as I was telling mum, one was washed in toward her and Bruiser! Diva loved it, drawing sand pictures and making sand castles and dancing ballet at the beach.. Something she has wanted to do for ages and brought along the beloved (much hated by mummy because of it's old raggy appearance) ballet dress to do exactly that! I also took the opportunity to do some Chrissy pics, as I have been way to slack and busy (lol in one sentence...) to do them, what better way to show the Aussie Christmas than a beach shoot with a Santa hat??
Anyway, enough rambling, here they are!

I am sorry there are so many.. I really need to learn to just pick maybe 3-4 favourties lol.

Feeling hot hot! HOT!!

Oh wow it's been a scorcher lately. Had some very hot days. My mum and I during the week have been taking the girls to the local pool. There are two out here and the one we have been frequenting we didn't know about until recently. WOW! What a great pool for the kidlets!! It has mushroom 'showers' and it's not too deep and keeps the kids entertained, a spa part for them.. it's really a great kids pool and more public pools should be making kids pools like this!!

Anyway here are some pics, enjoy!
