Lewis Cartier Bresson
Lewis has been practicing using my camera to take photos, and here's one of us during the instruction process. He has been given a film camera by Gran and Grandan so I thought I'd improve the hit rate by experimenting with a digiSLR.
Greg also took a few but I didn't think one of the top right hand corner of my head would be very interesting to look at.
The light was falling, so difficult to get a result especially when Daddy won't let you use the flash!

Last of the Mohican's
There's one thing the boys love doing and it's hairdressing, which is funny as they used to bellyache about getting their hair wet. Now however, the merest mention of " ....it's Sunday!..." and spontaneously they are under the water ready for the shampoo.
The mohican is by far the favourite hairstyle although many styles have been experimented with...

Thwarted!
The threshold between living room and hall creates an interesting challenge for a stairgate, but I managed to get it in place on the weekend - Miranda has met her match, and don't the boys just love teasing her from the other side!
Rocket to the Moon...
It's Lego time again, and Greg is building a Rocket to take us all to the Moon. Miranda is testing the Lunar Module, and Lewis for some strange reason is nowhere to be seen!

It's my birthday!
Today is the official birthday, but unfortunately Gran and Grandan had to head for home! So there was lots of hugs after breakfast and then everything was back to normal for the clan. All except for Miranda who was wearing her beads and badge, who headed off for Playgroup in the village, to tell her friends all about the visitors, ...and the party.....

Birthday Girl...
Today we had Miranda's birthday party with the Brown Hall clan. Ron and Ann seeing if they can get Miranda to look towards the camera, and proving it's possible to get one person to look forwards but not three at the same time...
The cake picture may have to wait for another time...!

National Book Week
This was the scene at our house this morning as the boys set off to school in fancy dress! Lewis aka James Herriott, has got Scrufty on his lead, and Greg aka the (medium size) Billy Goat Gruff is ready for action.
So look out Trolls, you may have met your match!

Shall I call an ambulance?
Our neighbour Brian walked past as I was laying on the ground taking this picture - "Shall I call an ambulance, because someone's bound to get injured!" he joked...
On this occasion I was not flattened and the boys didn't come off their bikes as they stunted over the ramp (which you can't see in this picture). Lewis is making it look very easy
Tomorrow I'll post one of Greg who is also quite good at taking air!

Wait for me!
It was difficult to choose between this and the tree climbing picture on Sunday, so here it is. Gregory charging down the track in hot persuit of Lewis to show him something he's just found. It was a piece of wood that reminded Greg of something, a boomerang or a magic key - I don't remember!
This is on the trail from Beaulieu towards Brockenhurst.

Onwards Upwards
Lewis in climbing mode as he scales up the tree in hot persuit of yours truly! What you can't see in this picture is Gregory coming at the tree from the other side!
Lewis was my helper this morning at the Boat Club, and his job was to blow the klaxon for the race meeting - as I was OOD (Officer of the Day).

Chase me Charlie
Didn't get to take any pictures today, as we've been busy getting a bonfire and guy (and stuff for a barbeque) together for this evening. So tonight's picture is from earlier this week as Miranda chases the flat ball around on the floor. She scoots around like a scud missile following coordinates, as those back legs propel her towards the latest shiny object to catch her attention.
We had barely a complaint from her tonight with the fireworks, which was a surprise! Both the boys were scared by them when they were her age!
