A photo a day, every day, for a year! This year I’m taking part in Project 365. My aim is to take a photo a day every day this year. Creating a photo diary of what we get up to during the year. This is my post for the year 2015 Week 2, week one can be found here. This was a week of toy sorting and we also went to see a circus show.
Project 365 – 2015 Week 2
Day 4
It felt like I spent most of the day in the kitchen preparing our food for the week, and Little E’s weaning food. Every time I was at the kitchen sink I spotted this cobweb in the frost on Ethan’s slide, so I thought it fitting that it was my photo for today.
Day 5
With Ethan at nursery, it was time to sort out the toy shop we call his bedroom. For someone who doesn’t know how to ‘play’ with toys, he hasn’t done that badly. He still had all of his baby toys as that is the level he enjoys and understands playing at. We decided that it was time to part with some of them. Little E is quickly getting her own collection and we needed to make room for the Christmas gifts. This was my Monday job and the nursery received a nice donation from us on Tuesday, unbeknown to Ethan!
Day 6
The sort-out continued, I can see this being the theme for the month, to be honest, and today we sorted out some of Little E’s presents. This was a lovely moment to capture as Ethan has been teasing Little E with her new toys, they played with this one together.
Day 7
Time for the weekly walk into town for the baby group passing the castle on our way.
Day 8
Our plans for the day changed because of the weather so we were all stuck inside for the day. Whilst Darren kept Ethan busy I had some baby cuddles. This is very rare due to the madness of the house and Little E is growing so quickly. I don’t want to miss this time!
Day 9
Little E has had a few rough days, we think she is teething. So in an attempt to keep tears at bay before dinner, this happened!
She only laughs at Ethan and we were sitting her on his shoulders and making him run up and down the hall. She found this very funny, Ethan on the other hand was a little bored by this point. This was about the eighth time of them doing this and me trying to capture a photo. As you can see the iPad is far more interesting to Ethan at this point!
Day 10
We were given tickets to see Circus Starr today. Ethan really enjoyed the show and clapped along with everyone.
Week 3 of Project 365 for the year 2015 can be found HERE.
I’d love to take my kids to see the circus, must put it on the list for this year!! I think day 9 has to be my favourite, cheeky baby 😉
The circus was great, we are going to keep an eye out for when they visit again. It took a few attempts to capture that moment lol
Glad the circus trip went well and hope little lady’s teeth start behaving soon. We need to do a major toy filtering exercise here too – nightmare! #365
I can see the toy problem being an ongoing battle for many years. There are still so many Christmas gifts to find homes for!
Wonderful cobweb shot and so cute little E laughing on her brother’s shoulders! I always clear out old toys when my two are not around otherwise it’s a losing battle
We actually had to plan to take the toys into nursery without Ethan noticing. Some of the things he hasn’t played with for a year but I knew he would start if he saw them!
Sounds like a lovely week. Well done on sorting out the toys. Love the cobweb photo and the photo of you and Little E having a cuddle. She looks like she is having great fun on Ethan’s shoulders! 🙂
She does enjoying messing about with Ethan, it is lots of hard work for us though. A great way of keeping fit ;0)
Love the picture of Little E on Ethan’s shoulders 🙂 Glad Ethan enjoyed the circus.
It was a great moment of madness. Sums our lives up quite nicely ;0)
Ethan’s room looks great – very tidy! I need to do a sneaky sort out of toys here too!
It’s still a work in progress, we still have toys on the stairs that need new homes!
Sounds like a fun week. Well done on managing to get Ethan’s toys away without him noticing. We’ve been to the circus a couple of times now and H loves it.
I do wonder what he will think if he spots any of them at nursery lol
Love the cobweb shot and wow at those circus performers!!
Yes that didn’t have much room for that act. I didn’t think there were going to make it to the top at one point!
We so need to sort out Skyes toys, shes the same as Ethan, she has soo many that she doesn’t play with!
I feel better but there is still so much more sorting that needs to be done. It is a work in progress x
wow what a busy week you guys have had! I love the photo of Ethan on the ipad! lol
lol yes nothing will take that iPad away!
laughed at the running Ethan up and down the hall with little E on his shoulders. We have a clear out before Christmas every year to make room, sometimes the amount of stuff they get just gets silly and you need to.
Lie the pic of them playing together, nice to see siblings doing that.
Yes I think a sort out before Christmas might be what happens this year. We just wasn’t expecting the amount of toys!
I need to do a toy clearout too, there are just too many! Love the mummy cuddles and her cheeky grin on Ethans shoulders. Fab photos, looks like a good week.
Yes we don’t get that many mummy moments like that, life can be so busy at times!
It is great to have a big sort out and clear up after Christmas isn’t it. Baby cuddles are the best!
It’s still a work in progress but WE WILL GET THERE ;0)
Great set of photos this week. I love your walk to pre-school, that castle is so atmospheric! Definitely enjoy your time with Little E, precious days. x
I’m trying to spend time with Little E when Ethan is at nursery. This of course means no chores get done lol
Fantastic photos! I love the one of Little E on Ethan’s shoulders….Such fun x
Thank you, yes she loved it lol
Beautiful photo’s, it’s lovely to see your children playing so nicely together. x
Thank you. Yes that was a rare moment, he won’t let her near his iPad though lol
I’ve a lot of very tired one this week think it’s took them all by surprise how tiring school can be after a couple of weeks off. Think it would help ifvwe could get them out in some fresh air but the cold , wind and rain doesn’t help.

Yes it must be hard getting back in the swing of things. I have all that fun to look forward to!
Looks like you’ve had a busy week. We’re sorting through toys and clutter here too.
Hope you get it all sorted, we are still working on it!
What a lovely, varied week you have had. The grin on Little E’s face whilst she sits on Ethan’s shoulders is gorgeous. #Project365
She loved it ;0)
Great photos. We have had to have a clear out thanks to Santa being so genorous!

Yes we really wasn’t expecting all of the toys!
Oh, I really need to sort out some toys! On my very long to-do list! Love the photo of them playing together, beautiful x
I think the toy sort is on everyone’s to do list x
The castle looks so eerie in your photo. Love the rocket on the wall 🙂
He has space stickers in his room, lots and lots of stars ;0)
That’s a great capture of the cobweb! Love the toys, I’m so bad at organising the kids room, I never want to throw anything away! #project365
Kids bedrooms are a nightmare, they have so much stuff! x
