A bit of a mixed week with photographs this week, some I am pleased with, others are… well they're the ones in black and white! They're also not in order because of the collage format (and my need to hide the rubbish ones minisculey together)
124. Six (Today was the 'Blog On' conference in Manchester which I attended and took photos of while The Boy and Mr. TBaM went around the Museum of Science and Industry. Afterwards we were all exhausted and fell into the nearest Pizza Express where The Boy decided six straws would make it easier to drink his water.)
125. Bug Hunters (We met up with friends at Redhouse Farm in Manchester and the four children had a great time with The Boy's bug hunting kit trying to find some minibeasts in the hedgerow. I love the descending line as they all try to get a better look.)
126. Crawly (He's really into woodlice at the moment, and has one on the tip of his finger here.)
127. UP! (His latest game is trying to kick his football up and into his den. Spot the boring photo #2)
128.Β Wrong Way? (After school collapse. fSpot the boring photo #3)
129. Maze (We popped to the local nature reserve after school and The Boy found it really amusing that the bamboo was growing through the boardwalk like a maze. Simple things hey?)
130. Off He Goes! (I'm so unbelievably proud of our son today! I don't want to go into too much detail of the ins and outs, but basically today was the day he rode his bike without stabilisers for the first time. And he went on to astound Mr. TBaM when he even got the hang of 'pushing off'. Such a big boy.)

lovely photos, the boy looks so pleased with himself on the bike π love the first picture too, looks very intriguing
Well done to The Boy for mastering riding his bike! He looks so proud of himself.
Well done on the bike riding, we can't get Monkey to pedal at all, let alone let go of the stabilisers! #365
Well done to The Boy, it's amazing when they learn! Rosie is becoming less squeamish and more into bugs at the moment x
Ha, I'm not sure 6 straws make it easier! π I love the photo of them all on the bug hunt at the top and the one of the boy on his bike! x
No it didn't at all, he soon ditched some and stuck with just three of the straws.
Love your Bento lunch this week, well done for having a go! Brilliant work by your son as well at the driving.
Thanks for linking up to Project 365, new linky live at 9pm tonight.
brilliant photos, always lovely to see!! yay to no stabilisers, clever boy x
Well done on no stabilizers – it really opened up a world of biking for us when our boy mastered it. I love the 6 straws, lol. and the long grass is stunning in the maze photo
I love the legs up collapsed photo. Although when I scrolled down, I did double take at that one!
There's so many clever children at the moment, picking up cycling without stabilisers at the moment. Must be the summer coming and everyone getting the chance to be outside more!
Well done riding his bike that's fantastic. Lovely photos of your week x
Oh my gosh he looks like such a pro! Wow, he looks like such a big boy and quite rightly pleased! π Ahh big milestone.
Oh wow that's great news cycling without stabilisers, how exciting! Sounds like it's been a good week with that and Blogon too – shame I missed it, must go next year. Love the first two photos and last two especially this week, lovely x
we need to take roosters stabilisers off you must tell me your top tips!
Absolutely love the photo of The Boy on the boardwalk. So great to see him looking so proud of himself on the bike, just lovely x
1st one of them all bug hunting is still my favourite
Adore the photo of the four bug hunting all at different heights. And well done boy for becoming a biker!
Gorgeous shots!
Riding bike without stabilizer sounds very exciting. Great job by little man. We've this is our to do list. However, I am not sure if we will do it this year. π
I love Bug Hunters – as you say, the way they have arranged themselves into descending order is just lovely!
And well done to The Boy for getting the hang of riding without stabilisers!
The boy looks like he is loving his bike bless him.
wonderful photos
I think 6 straws seems a perfectly logical choice! Great photos x
Ella loves woodlice at the moment as well and gets very upset if her pets escape!
yay for riding the bike. I remember that day, we thought it would never arrive
Can't believe I missed you at Blog On! Love the top photo of TBAM and his friends – it looks like they were really taking the bug hunting very seriously!
Well done on mastering riding the bike with no stabelisers! I remember being so nervous when my eldest started riding without his! x #Project365
How proud you must be, the 7 yr old girl here is only just mastering riding a bike and the boy hasn't even started – bad parenting! Ugh to the wood lice, do you call them chucky pigs?! I never knew what the kids re on about at my first teaching practise! π lovely pics x
Lovely photos. Well done to The Boy for riding with no stabilisers π
Cor, well done on the bike riding! I actually love the straw photo the most of all π
Stop putting down your photos! They all capture a moment which would otherwise be forgotten. Except the last one… Well done for mastering the pedals π
Six straws sounds perfect to me. Well done on learning to ride without stabilisers!
Some great actions shots this week, how come mine always seem to go blurry? Must get that camera instruction booklet out again! I particularly love the shot of the kids on the bug hunt – all so engrossed π
ok firstly your photos are not boring – it does not matter how exciting or unexciting they are because they are snapshots into the boys life, mannersisms and character and show what he gets up to and enjoys !! Never apologise!!!!!
LOve the bike riding photo best because it is such an amazing feat and i also like him examining the bug on his finger!! x
I love that first photo of the four of them and also the black/white one of him with his legs in the air – looks like fun whatever he was doing. Well done to the Boy for mastering that bike!
I couldn't see any boring photos there. It was lovely to catch up with you again at Blog On and yay well done to the Boy with his cycling, A is amazing on hers and it is so lovely for them to be able to go off independently (although I have got a lot fitter from running to keep up with her)
I'm sorry but the blurry black and white collapse is my favourite! Bug hunting is great but woodlice really? Our boys would get on well. I'm like eew!
a huge well done on the bike riding, not bad for one so young. Yes its amazing how simple things amuse them, lets hope the bamboo does not mask the path. The six straws is great a lovely if daft thing to do. Bug hunting is great fun, we need to get out and do some
He looks so incredibly proud of himself riding his bike and so he should. I love the Maze photo, I can imagine him laughing to himself about it.
Bleugh….bugs on fingers – no thank you..
Well done on going without stabilisers!!
I am loving the bug hunters, what a really beautiful shot π
So sorry for the delay in getting round #365 this week tonight i will do better lovely x
