"Stung-ed"!

Jordan showing his eye - "Where the bee hit me"! He got 3 stings last Wednesday as did Joel, we were having a look at a tree that had just fallen near our place. Turns out he's allergic, he ended up with hives all over - that was a little confusing for him - "I haven't got hives its just a rash" he told us! He thought we were meaning bee hives! So he missed out on kinder, he didn't want to go and it was probably for the best, he was very swollen, itchy and quite grumpy.





Little Artist


Jordan painting earlier last week. Normally we paint outside but its been too hot. Makes for a colourful floor thats for sure. I had to laugh though, I told him to be more careful with the paint, then splattered some everywhere myself! He said "Now Mum, please be more careful you just got paint on my foot!" Ooops! He actually splattered some on my camera!

Look Out!


The camera had a bit of a rough week actually! He got me here too!

Catching Bubbles


Catching Bubbles


The exif data for the bath ones will only be on the middle one at Flickr (click them to view) because I de-noised the other two in noiseware which saves as a new file, but was the same for all of them, ISO 1600, f 1.8, 1/125s. Yeah my bathrooms dark! Although I love shallow DOF, I would have liked a slightly wider depth of field on the last one to get his hand in focus as well but I had no choice, there wasn't enough light! The focus on the bubble rather than the boy in the middle one was intentional in case anyone is wondering!

I should put some of my layouts here too but I can't be bothered now! Maybe next time.

Poor Jordy! Check out that swollen eye! Stunning pics of the painting, and I've been privy to the layouts which are equally as stunning!

I love the bath photo with the hands and bubble in front!

Hey Mel! Thanks for the comment on my blog, just had to stop by here and let you know that I saw your LO in the mag and LOVED it!! Just jumped right out at me, but I didn't click that it was you.. lol, of course it was Mel A ;). And I should have recognised Jordy at once (not to mention that his name is on it!!!) just call me a little slow lol.
Anyway, I saw that you said you'd made another comment, but I didn't get that.. I think that blogger likes to play tricks on me sometimes!
