The fourth week of Project 365 and I’m really enjoying it. Even though I’ve always taken lots of photos, I’ve realised 99% of them are of the kids. I will never stop taking photos of them, but this has challenged me to look around me more, and be a little bit more creative. I’m also having lots of fun with the filters on my phone and on photo editing software.

I’m not really a big drinker – being pregnant three times in four years, and breastfeeding in the gaps between babies means I’ve haven’t really touched alcohol since before we had Harrison. However, now that I’m not breastfeeding or pregnant I do like the odd drink now and then – a glass of wine on an evening, a few beers with friends. We went to my mum and dads for lunch on Sunday, and had a cheeky brandy and coke!

The kids love painting, and we haven’t done it much lately, so on Monday we stuck some paper to the easel and let them loose with the paint. I love seeing what they create when they’re left alone!

This was taken on the way to school – it was really cold and frosty.

We’ve been really lucky with Benjamin – generally he is a really content and happy little boy. Today was the first ‘bad’ day we have had with him. He was really unsettled and grumpy, fighting his bottles and sleep.

We went out for our first meal without the kids in almost four years. It was for a review and really was the best Indian meal we’ve ever eaten.

I love this photo of Graham and Harrison reading together!

We’ve been getting lots of smiles this week off Benjamin, mostly in the morning. We’re yet to capture a proper one on camera, but have lots of cheeky half smiles like this!
