Well, Wednesday was a normal old work day and also the day that MrJ took off to Darwin with his brother, 2 nephews and BIL. They have gone up to go on a fishing trip and do the 3 days of the V8 Supercars.
Wednesdays picture was taken at bath time. My speedlite wasn't working properly and I haven't yet mastered this slow shutter speed, kids and speed lite inside at night. But I think this one is passable!
Thursday was another wet miserable day. I took the boys to kindygym and did the grocery shopping on the way home. Both boys had decent sleeps. I took a little detour on the way to kindygym to see if I could get any decent landscapes. I'm not really happy with what I got, but at least it is a picture for today.
Over the last few days I have been migrating my photos from my PC onto my Mac Book. I am pretty sure I have got them all transferred. Now they need organising in iPhoto!! It will be worth it in the end, but it may take me some time to get to the end!!
I missed out on hockey training on Weds night as I had no-one to look after the boys and I won't be able to play this weekend either! :-(
Queensland won the State of Origin. They were awesomely unbeatable, while NSW were atrociously arrogant and nasty.
I got all the washing done today as it seems we are having a spell from the rain and I then spent half the day trying to pick photos to submit into the Perth Royal Show. I picked some in each category and toddled off to Photocoffee to find out how to print and mat them. I was very fortunate to have Kingsley look at the ones I had picked and give me some constructive feedback. So out of the 9 or so I took, about 3 of them were any good for the show!! Even then, they needed some further tweaking!! I am so glad I took them in, I really appreciated the feedback. So I have made the little alterations he suggested and I have also picked some others to replace those that didn't make the cut!! I am going to take a trip out into the country with the boys on Sunday to see if I can capture any that will suit the "Agricultural Life" category!
I also went to Bunnings and grabbed a couple of sample pots of paint for MasterA's big boy bedroom. I have tried them both out on the wall and think I will go with the darker of the 2. I will check it out tomorrow and see if I change my mind!!
Then, this afternoon.....I watched a movie!! I can't remember the last time I sat and watched an entire movie, interruption free without falling asleep. It was Confessions of a Shopaholic, and it was a good movie!!
For my picture today, I took the camera out before I hung the washing out, as there were water droplets everywhere. Turns out that I didn't end up using a water droplet photo though! I am using this shot that I got of one of the pretty little purple flowers we have on a bush.
Both boys had a great day at school today. it is so much nicer to walk into MasterJ's room and be told that he has had a fantastic day and that they are very proud of him!!
Oh, I almost forgot, MasterA has slept in for 4 days in a row now!! The earliest he has woken up in the last 4 days is 615am....does that mean the 4am wake ups are a thing of the past? It is great to be getting a decent nights sleep again! MasterJ is still up early, but all I hear is the door to the lounge room periodically getting opened to see if we're up, then it gets shut again! When I go to get MasterA, MasterJ is lying in bed with his door open and light on! Finally, we're having a win!!
