Outside {photoadayaug}

I've decided to keep with the photo a day theme for August as something a little different.

The boys and I spent some time at the park this morning in the sun. There was also a sports carnival happening on the oval so we got to cheer on the school kids in their races.

Toothbrush {photoadayjuly}

As I was unwinding on the couch tonight I realised I hadn't taken a photo today. With no ideas of what to take a photo of I decided to turn to the photo a day list for inspiration and found that today's prompt was toothbrush. So here is the cute little toothbrush I bought Isaac the other day which is providing a bit of novelty to an otherwise boring task. 

Let the games begin

 

The last few nights I've been letting Isaac watch some Olympics before bed. Being 4 years old this is really his first games so we're trying our best to explain the concept to him.

He seems to be really interested in all the different countries the athletes are from and their flags and his favorite sports so far seem to be the swimming, gymnastics and weightlifting.

Look at me

 

I love sitting up to play now. I also love laughing at my brother when he's being silly.

A rivalry begins

Today was the beginning of a new rivalry in our family. Isaac has aligned himself with Sydney's new AFL team, The Giants, and today they played Daddy's Magpies for the first time in the big league. It was cute watching the two of them walk to the stadium in their competing jerseys ready for the big match.

Unfortunately I think it's going to be a one-sided affair for a while yet.

On the road

I drove Isaac into daycare today so that he could have a bit of a sleep in and Darren could still arrive at work on time. I also stopped by for a bite to eat with Darren and his colleagues. It wasn't exactly how I'd planned my day to go but it was nice to get out of the house for a bit.

After I snapped this photo I realised it was also a happy coincidence that the photo a day by Fat Mum Slim today was 'On the road".

Soup for the soul

We've been doing a bit of meal planning lately and it's working well for us so far.

Firstly, and most importantly, I'm not stressed everyday trying to decide what I'm going to make for dinner and whether we have any ingredients in the fridge that will actually go together. Secondly, we seem to be saving a bit of money because it means we go to the grocery store with a clear idea of what ingredients we need to buy for the week.

Tonight soup was on the menu and it was just what the doctor ordered for our sniffly noses.
