8 of 52 & 9 of 52

Ok since last week i was recovering from surgery and could not post a pic i am posting this week and last weeks pics!

Here are the children and I..Dad took the pic (lessons needed i think!) And yes i know i look awful!

And here is Mum with her very own Mum! My parents dug out a lot of old pics and this was one of them! I was about 5 years old at the time. But if i have to come out then so does my Mum! hahaThank you for looking.

I'm participating in what I think is a really great weekly challenge hosted by Carin at Forever in Blue Jeans. It seems like us Mums spend an awful lot of time behind the camera. The idea of this challenge is forMum's to get on the other side of the camera in at least one photo a week.


And this week i managed to get us all, including David with his tongue out! LOL One day i will get a great shot of all of us, smiling at the same time! hahaha.

This is my dear son and myself having a good night kiss. I love nothing more than the sweet smell of the kids when they have bathed and p.j'd and are ready for slumber. So i used a few effects to make this look how i wanted but i am in it with him so it's ok..right? :)

4/52 Mum is missing.

Since i have spent most of this week in hospital being ill i was unable to get a pic of myself with one/two or all of the kids so i am using my absolute favourite one from when they were younger..I know it's a cheat but i have a valid excuse....and i am sure you will like it as much as i do:

I also got a parcel in the post today. I wasn't expecting anything, no birthdays or anniversaries coming up. So i was really curious as to what it could be....
Oh my I was so surprised and excited when i got it....Yes indeed it was my "pay it forward" surprise from Shauna over at Trying to Stay Calm. She sent all these goodies to me just for being first to reply to pay it forward post on her blog and running my own on my blog! Isn't she a sweety?
Oh and Ron over at Troubled Ramblings has been at it again too, here is Rae (he says he isn't too keen on this one..but i l♥ve it!):
So while it wasn't my best week health wise...I am so so grateful for the lovely friends i have...especially my blogging ones who made me feel so special at a time when i have been feeling so poorly. Thank you everyone.
I have also been tagged by Leah at A Silly Little Sparrow and am promising to take part probably tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow i will be getting Becky's Coeliac results tomorrow too. It's all fun here you know!

Week 2 of the 52 week challenge.

Are you a mom? Are you missing from the pictures? Most moms I know are and now there is a great new meme that brings us moms out from behind the lens to in front of the camera! It's a lot of fun! Carin over at Forever in Blue Jeans set up this wonderful year long challenge that does just that! Brings us out from behind and puts us in the spotlight! And the best part is, is that you can start whenever you jump in.

Well is it really a week already? It has flown! However here it is for you all to see, week 2.

Myself and my youngest daughter Becky...

This was taken as we were messing around..i was trying to convince her that it was a good idea to do her homework! I can never get cross with her, she really makes me laugh, a lot!

Mom is missing, a 52 week challenge...

Is a great new challenge created by Carin at Forever in Blue Jeans.
I love it because it means i have to be in the photos at least once a week on a Thursday..so one day my brood will have photographic evidence of me and them having fun together!
So here is this weeks....week 1!!
I love this pic taken by Becky when Rae and I were messing around in the living room! So now you see the girl behind the lens!
