…continuing on with my 'Spunky Bingley Girls' theme… its my gorgeous Darci!
I get home from work and the house is really quiet… where is
everyone?… wait… what's that squealing i can hear?… it's coming
from the back yard!!… what could that be??
Aren't sister just grand?!!
(taken with my beautiful new lens – 24-70 f/2.8L ♥♥♥)
Willow was regaling me with stories about school… notice the nice
summer dress she is wearing? Do you think I might have the heater turned
up a bit high?
Darci's room… she is sound asleep under there, somewhere!…
Jaimi voted for the first time today! WooHoo!
Darci is off to 'Laser Tag' with all the girls in year 9 today… do you think she is ready?
Willow with one of our new family members, Snowy
they were meant to be going to sleep…
Darci went shopping in Melbourne with her best friend Isabella this weekend… and came home with a Hamburger Telephone and an Abbey Road t-shirt… strange girl!
I was inspired, today, by the finalists and winner of the Moran Contemporary Photographic Prize 2010… so here is my b&w, grainy capture of my family.. as they are… and I do ♥ them so…
We have a house guest today… Maddi is staying for the night… on a school night… and now Darci is all hyped up!
Just my beautiful fur-babies, Zeus and Cleo…
Each morning, I leave for the gym about 5 minutes before the girls leave
the house for the bus… today when I came home from the gym, this was
waiting for me on the kitchen bench… ♥♥♥
Xan's class had a 'Healthy Food Expo' today… all the kids took in ingredients and put together some healthy snacks to serve the parents… Xanthia and her group made a french onion dip with vegetable dippers… she was so proud, and it tasted delicious!
Ok… so the Rubik's Cube is over 25 years old… and I was there for
the first round of the craze… but today was the first time I EVER
solved it!! So exciting!!
Hey… don't judge me! I'm NOT a nerd!
Are there any words???
(Darci ran and got her beanie… apparently I can't take a photo of her without it now!! oh joy.)
Just walkin' down the hall can be hard work when your little sisters are around!
Xan and Willow were watching a movie in our room… but a morning of
hockey and then a U11 hockey function was all too much for Willow…
zzzzzzzzz
Gosh it's hard to get a good photo sometimes… see what I have to put up with!!
Darci… playing some shoot 'em up war game that Russ bought, for them to play against each other… but he is away… and Darci is addicted!
She gets her homework and chores done in record time so she can have some computer time! I love the motivation!
Zoe, just doing her homework… or Facebooking… I can never tell! lol!
Cleo and I having some tug-of-war fun… the teeth she has left aren't in the best condition, so I take it easy on her!

Darci… all dressed up for Maddie's 15th birthday… it was a Fairy
Party, of course!!
Two perfectly good lounge chairs… and she has to sit on the arms of
both!!
Xanthia having fun dragging Willow (and Lily hidden back there) up and down the hall on her doona…
Willow was named Captain of her and Xan's hockey team for today's game… she lead her team onto the field and tossed the sick for the first ball… she was so proud… and so was I.
We traveled to Cheltenham East tonight for Darci's hockey game… I wasn't sure how long it would take to get there so we left early and arrived about an hour before her game was to start… never fear – in the clubroom we found an old-style arcade game with PacMan on it!! FUN!!
At Jaimi's request – she is my photo of the day!
Don't ask me what possesses her to do such things… I really have no idea!
