{Harper}  Putting a bit of grunt into her gluing.

This photo was taken at a Playschool friend's birthday party. As has been the norm for the past three years all parties Harper has been invited to have been with Finn (either mutual friends or a friend of Finn's who is happy to have younger siblings along too). But this party invitation was for Harper only. Finn was a little put out by the exclusion but she did her best to reassure him, "Don't worry Finn, I will be back very soon." On the drive over I wondered if she would be a little quieter without her brother there. Um, not a chance. My social butterfly was in full flight from the moment she arrived.

{Finn} I could watch him draw all day.

  2. Love your matching choices for your portraits this week, they show each of their personalities beautifully. In the B sides, Finn's drawing of Buzz is fantastic, that needs a frame! The contact craft idea is great, I love the way you have photographed them through the window, it's so cool to see the looks on their faces as they work on their masterpieces. Special mention for the shirt buddies photo, how cute are they and what a gorgeous shot of them together!

  4. Oh Amber, lovely as always! I especially love the one of the two of them at the markets - conspiring to sample something perhaps? Finn's drawing is wonderful - so much detail! Thank you for putting up pics of the sticky plastic too - I tried this today with my girls and now I am the 'best mummy!' -
