Indoor Play Centre

Every so often, our twins playgroup goes to an indoor play centre. Today I took some pictures to use on our Multiple Birth Association website. Here’s some of the extras I took of Ben and Ethan.

Trying to get one of 6 toddlers all at once is very tricky!!tn_IMG_1495tn_IMG_1471

More Birds

We had some new birds in our yard this morning, so i couldn’t resist taking some pictures of the Rosellas. Not sure what the brown one is, but Tracie says it’s a Wood Pigeon.

Superman

We are going to a fancy dress party for a good friend in a couple of weeks. The theme is superheros and super villains….The boys are going as Superman/Clark Kent. We plan to dress them in a superman costume underneath the black suits they wore at Shell and Michael’s wedding. (We want to get another use out of those wedding suits before they get too small!)  They will start the party with the suit on, and at some point, will end up taking it off and being superman. We bought them a superman costume last week. It took AGES to find one that fitted them, as apparently all costumes start at size 3-5. They are a size 2, and it was way too big. We finally found some costumes in a small kids clothing shop, and we were so happy!!! YAY! They are a bit too big, but we can live with that!

Below are some pictures of the boys giving their superman costumes a test run.

 

Ben “uh oh Mumma, Flash” – Ben wasn’t too sure about the flash that Tracie was using when photographing him tn_IMG_1245 tn_IMG_1249 tn_IMG_1252tn_IMG_1268   tn_IMG_1272 tn_IMG_1278 tn_IMG_1279 tn_IMG_1283 tn_IMG_1289  tn_IMG_1292 tn_IMG_1294 tn_IMG_1295 tn_IMG_1298 tn_IMG_1300 tn_IMG_1316tn_IMG_1315tn_IMG_1317In the next 3 photos, Ethan has his tongue out. He often laughs with his tongue out, and pokes it to the side when thinking…… Too funny!tn_IMG_1303 tn_IMG_1256tn_IMG_1290 

If you were to look back at previous posts, you will notice that every so often, we capture a picture of Ethan and his tongue.

Too funny!!!!

See the 3rd and 4th pictures?…. they are very similar pictures, both taken with my new camera. One is ‘auto’ the other ‘manual’. I am having fun playing with the settings. Making the shots have different colour/light/exposure balances…. Still not perfect, but I am slowly learning.

And ofcourse, our beautiful (less crazy) Ethan…tn_IMG_1209tn_IMG_1227  tn_IMG_1201
