A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013

{inspired by Jodi}

{Harper} Eyelashes that almost touch her eyebrows.

{Finn} Sending my first-born off to Pre-school. He was happy, confident and ready for new adventures.

 

The B-sides (because two photos seems a little minimalist for me…)

{an early morning backyard find}

{"I brushed my curls Mum"}

{Collecting produce from our garden. So very satisfying}

{a new book tradition begins. Finn & Harper were both gifted a school themed book the day before they began Preschool and Playschool. At the beginning of each school year I plan to record a message to them inside each book}

{Ten minutes until the first day starts. Waiting patiently, with a touch of nerves.}

{Connecting with one of the school displays}

{Finn was quick to engage with the table activities. Little sis joined in too. Of coarse.}

{Harper's turn. Starting Playschool. I believe she was clicking her fingers here and saying "hurry up Mum". After seeing her big brother go through two years at the same Playschool she was BEYOND ready to start}

{ice-cream is always better with sprinkles}

{Two full days of Pre-school equals one very tired boy}

{after a week where a great deal of energy and attention was directed towards Finn, Harper was due some quality one on one Mumma time. By chance, the night before I found out that 'Aladdin' was screening at our local cinema. So with every Princess item from the dress up box on, we headed off for Harper's first movie experience. Harper's verdict "It was good. It was a bit sad, a bit funny and also a bit scary"}
