Mshoes6 “A portrait of our children, once a week, every week, in 2013.”

Juju:”You can’t catch me.”
Mowgli: Red shoes. He hasn’t stopped playing with the velcro.
Coco and Juju: Wearing in their new shoes.
 

I’ve been conscious of not buying any new stuff. Our road trip is just a few months away now and we will have just one drawer each for storage.

The kids already have so many clothes and toys and Juju only ever wants to wear the same tattered pink tutu anyway.

But I think decent shoes are really important. And there’s something magical about kids jumping around in brand-spanking new shoes. (Of course Juju’s had to be pink!)

moggy1052“A portrait of our children, once a week, every week, in 2013.”

Mowgli: Our cuddly koala is still teething.
Juju: She gets harassed by her brothers so much these days, nothing seems to phase her. And yes, that’s Morgan pulling her hair, chewing on a tube of Bonjela. That stuff just doesn’t work.
Coco: Thought he was very clever putting these glasses on and off, a remnant from Juliette’s second birthday party.

It has been a stinking hot week here in Melbourne.

So hot I have barely taken any photos. So hot I can’t remember anything we’ve done.

All the kids have been hot and grizzly.

And Mama bear even more so.

I tried hard to visit some of the other 52 projects this week but only managed a dozen. I especially loved Maltida’s way of exploring the rain / these loving sisters / and Milla plum’s obvious love of the snow.

“A portrait of our children, once a week, every week, in 2013.”

Juju: Sugar and spice and everything nice. That’s what little girls are made of.
Mowgli: Frogs and snails and puppy dog’s tails.
Coco: That’s what little boys are made of.

We have such a girly girl. I’m not sure where it comes from.

The twins are still eating everything in their path – except food.

Week 9 of Jodi’s 52 Project.

Bunny

Grapes“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013.”

 Juju: “Muuum, I’m collllld.”
Coco: “Cat cat cat.”
Mowgli: Grape Obsession.

The kids and I spent a few days in Sydney last week hanging out at a friend’s house. The tragic death of her partner was the reason we were there, but my children were oblivious to the overwhelming sadness hanging in the air. Her garden was a magical new place to explore – complete with chooks and a bunny (who thinks he’s a chook) to chase.

I was grateful for the opportunity to sit under a tree and remember an incredible man and the happy times spent drinking red wine with him in this garden.

Airstream Dreaming

Toilet Fascination

Dryer Fascination“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013.”

 Juju: Airstream Dreaming.
Coco: Toilet Fascination.
Mowgli: Dryer Obsession.
 
Juju has always been a daydreamer. The boys, on the other hand, just don’t sit still long enough to daydream. They’re like Duracell bunnies on speed. And toilets and dryers are their latest obsession. I turn around for 10 seconds and they’re on the hunt for one.

barefoot

Teething hell

Doorway fun“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013.”

 Juju: She loves walking barefoot, just like her mum.
Mowgli: Eight teeth are coming through at once. Molers and canines. My poor baby.
Coco: No matter how many times I tell him and his brother not to play with the door, I find them back at it.
 

It’s been a hard week. Cranky, teething, sick kids = a tired, cranky mum.

Part fairy
Part bunny
Cookie monster

Mmm cookies“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013.”

 Juju: Tutu, beads and invisible wings – part fairy
Mowgli: Always smiling – part bunny
Coco: Mmm Gingerbread men – part cookie monster
 
I’ve been inspired to take part in the 52 project and post a photograph of my children every week for a year.

With three demanding little ones, its impossible to commit to a daily project (like some of the fabulous 365 collections out there) but I’m definitely up for this smaller challenge.

A photo a week, times three. That’s still a lot of photographs.

(I’m a late joiner, so there will be two posts this week).
