day ONE HUNDRED | year FOUR | 2013
Xan is loving this holiday caper… very late nights and huge sleep-ins… it's like a dream come true!
day NINETY NINE | year FOUR | 2013
It's
been a quiet week this week… with Zoe now living away, and Darci in
Victoria for a few days, I am left with just this lot… I know two kids
and one hubby is supposed to be 'normal'… but it just feels quiet to
me… though, we did take the opportunity today, to head out to (a much
cheaper than normal!) dinner 🙂
day NINETY EIGHT | year FOUR | 2013
♫ … leaving on a jet plane… ♫
Darci is heading to Victoria to help one of her best mates celebrate his 18th
birthday (you can just see her at the top of the front stairs, in the
bright pink top)
day NINETY SEVEN | year FOUR | 2013
My crazy one… oh, who am I kidding… they are ALL crazy! (this one is just the craziest 😉 )
day NINETY SIX | year FOUR | 2013
ok yeah… so this is happening :'(
Zoe in her new room closer to uni… she found it; she inspected it;
she signed a lease; paid the bond and two weeks rent; and picked up her
keys… she is all growed up

day NINETY FOUR | year FOUR | 2013
I'm sorry Zeus, I know you hate the camera… but you are the only one even mildly compliant at this time of night ♥
day EIGHTY FOUR | year FOUR | 2013
#2 & #5… I was trying to take photos of Zoe… but we had the cutest little photo-bomber ♥
day EIGHTY ONE | year FOUR | 2013
Darci
is working on one of her minor-major Yr12 Art pieces… on the
light-table that my Cartographer grandfather built (and my ranga
recently refurbished)… four generations have now toiled at this
table… it must have amazing creative ju-ju ♥♥♥
day EIGHTY | year FOUR | 2013
Tonight
we attended Xanthia's 'Evening of Eminence'… she had to chose an
eminent person, study them and prepare a stall (including dressing like
her 'person')… parents and teachers then wandered around asking
questions to see how well the kids had studied 😉
Xan chose
'John Lasseter – (co)founder of Pixar. She made LGM (little green men)
cupcakes and wore her dad's Hawaiian shirt and bow tie… she studied
hard and ended up with B- for her efforts. Very proud mum moment (though
her teacher is trippin'… it was definitely worth an A+ 😉 )
day SEVENTY NINE | year FOUR | 2013
It's been a particularly tough, emotional week… but I'm still here… putting one foot in front of another 🙂
day SEVENTY SEVEN | year FOUR | 2013
Every
night the front veranda light goes on, and attracts the bugs… then it
is not long before our little gecko shows up to feast on the slow ones
😉
day SEVENTY FIVE | year FOUR | 2013
I
know that I moan and groan about hockey season… and when my alarm
went off at 6 o'clock this morning (on a Saturday no less), there may
have been some profanities muttered… but I have to admit, when my girl
and her amazing U13 team opened their hockey season with a 8-0 win, I
might have been quietly chuffed… and, of course, taken full credit for
all her mad hockey skills 😉
day SEVENTY FOUR | year FOUR | 2013
Just a typical Friday night in the Bingley house ♥
day SEVENTY TWO | year FOUR | 2013
This wasn't the photo I planned… more of an outtake… but I just ♥ it!
day SEVENTY ONE | year FOUR | 2013
Future clients beware… I have ways of making you comply!
Exhibit #1 – Uncooperative Model
Exhibit #2 – Motivating 'Chat' (administered by my henchman 'The Ranga')
Exhibit #3 – Success!! – Cooperative Model 🙂
day SIXTY EIGHT | year FOUR | 2013
She
spends Tuesday to Thursday at uni, then works at Coles from Friday to
Sunday… while the rest of us rue the arrival of Monday, it is fast
becoming Zoe's favourite day of the week!
day SIXTY FIVE | year FOUR | 2013
I love how the curls appear when there is rain in the air ♥
day SIXTY FOUR | year FOUR | 2013
Picking
up my uni girl from the train station… at the moment, she spends
almost 5 hours on public transport just to get to her classes and home
again.
day SIXTY TWO | year FOUR | 2013
Reason
#3072 why online grocery shopping is the way to go… I tried to walk
away, but they just kept following me and calling me 'Mum'!
day SIXTY | year FOUR | 2013
My 10 year old baby… snuggling the 'Raffie' she has had since birth, while curled up on the couch.
day FIFTY EIGHT | year FOUR | 2013
Damn… missed one.
In my defence, I am workig two jobs at the moment… and trying to run my business… and doing some Heartfelt sessions (after doing only nine for the whole of 2012, I have done four this year already :'( )
Let's hope this is the last missed photo for he year!
day FIFTY SEVEN | year FOUR | 2013
quirk·y [kwur-kee]

an individual peculiarity of character; mannerism or foible… ie: Darci
day FIFTY SIX | year FOUR | 2013
My Zoe… home from her first official day of uni classes… and so it begins ♥
day FIFTY FIVE | year FOUR | 2013
How angelic are my girls?… or is that 'look at how well my girls can pretend to be angelic?' ♥
day FIFTY FOUR | year FOUR | 2013
When I turned four years old, my parents gave me a bright yellow, vinyl bean bag, with a picture of Mickey Mouse on it… and so began my collection <3
I estimate, that these photos represent about half of what I have… it's possible I have a bit of a obsession passion 😉
day FIFTY TWO | year FOUR | 2013
I started doing some casual graphic design work in the city this week…
and for the first couple of stops, these two are my train traveling
companions… lucky me?
