36/52 {hello spring!}

{Harper}  Picking flowers for a vase in her room. Spring is here and we are thankful.  

{Finn} Banging the drums at the National Arboretum Pod Playground. This new playground is something special and we look forward to visiting again.

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

{the most spectacular light beaming in through the Arboretum's roof}}

{digging up the last of the winter harvest. And yes, those are pegs in Harper's hair. she has her own kooky style}

{backyard tea party}

{Me: "Harper, would you like to go to the hairdressers and get a haircut this week?"
Harper: "Um, no. I think I will grow my hair forever, just like Rapunzel." }

{early morning sunlight was a little too harsh for this poppet}

{my favourite sight from our week}

32/52

{Harper}  The cheekiest smile I ever did see.  

{Finn} With my camera out I work hard to get a smile, but it does eventually shine. {standing in front of our bookcase. spines of books he runs his fingers along and tells me: "I will read these books when I am a big boy". I don't doubt that for a second, mate.}

{tiny glimpses of spring}

{"I'm working just like Cinderella!" A girl who can find a fairy tale reference wherever she goes}

{alphabet ink stampers in playdough}

{one of the perks of your mum working at the local playschool- testing out the new resources!}

{Daddy's home}

{Finn and Harper's first visit to Canberra's LEGO Brick Expo}

{Can I eat a banana and build with LEGO? Why yes I can!}

{While the rest of the LEGO fanatics were oohing and ahhing over the huge Star Wars creations, this nifty little music reference won me over}

20/52

{Harper} Happy to wash up the paint tools after a VERY messy indoor painting session.  

{Finn} He rarely looks directly at the camera, but when I bumped my head on the fluorescent light when climbing onto the kitchen bench his eyes were there. He may have laughed at me too.

{rainy autumn days}

{She's a master of the back cuddle}

{a cuddle that usually leads to the recipient being pushed over}

{now for my next trick....}

{Watching an army helicopter hover over our house. He later told me that he was very worried that it was going to land on us}

{roller painting on a rainy day}

{hmmm, painting on paper was fun but I wonder what it would be like to paint on my hands?}

{all forms of painting ultimately lead to finger painting with Harper}

{give this kids a milk bottle, cardboard box or toilet paper roll and he will turn it into something. Today's creation: an army helicopter}

{Finn recently began his first season of soccer. He is yet to fully grasp the game, but seems to be having fun running around. His favourite part of the game: "I like the drinks breaks Mum"}

{enjoying a solo bath and the opportunity to float in the tub}
