#MeAndMine - A Family Portrait (March 2014)

March is probably the busiest month of the year for our family.

Both children were born in the month.

MC on the 11th (she was 5) and TC on the 28th (he was 2).

Throw in Mother's Day, a themed Minnie Mouse party and a few other prior engagements and I'm ending the month feeling pretty exhausted... but full of love and happiness.

I have been taking a lot more photographs of the children with the 'big camera' this year but it's very rare that I'm in the photos. Setting up the timer can be a bit hit and miss and the kids get easily distracted but asking other people to take photographs is probably worse - especially when it's my mother-in-law. She's good at a lot of things but sadly she's no photographer (not that I am but you know what I mean).

The day before Mother's Day we met up with my in-laws at Trentham Gardens. It was a lovely warm but slightly breezy day. Lots of scooting, fun, laughter, bickering (Matt and his mum - not the kids!) and ending with drinks and ice cream. I only have one half decent photo of the 4 of us that my MIL took that I'm including this month but I have lots of quite nice photos that I took of the kids enjoying themselves.

This month has been all about them so I wanted to share them with you (even if MC had fallen over 2 days earlier and is sporting a huge graze/bruise on her forehead!).










*Sports the voice of a newscaster about to mention that funny bit at the end of a broadcast*

And finally…

After MC's Minnie Mouse theme party earlier in the month we did have this photo taken - I wanted to share it because even though I'm exhausted on it, I couldn't stop laughing at Matt and TC sporting exactly the same expression. Priceless!

Lovely photos. I especially like the bottom one of TC where he's holding the cup. Such a cheeky little face.
I have hardly any good photos of hubby and I and the children all together but got that one yesterday at Wagamamas. The waiter actually offered to take a snap of us all on my phone. I wasn't expecting much but was so pleased with the result! He got a good tip!

Awww I love these. The family photos are beautiful, as are the ones of the children. I can't believe how grown up MC looks!
Matt and TC's expression really makes me laugh. So funny that they are doing the exact same face xx

I love the close ups and the simplicity of your pictures this month. I've been rather lazy of late relying on my phone for snaps (with disappointing results this month) so I'll take a leaf out of your book next month I think and make some proper time for Me and Mine with a proper camera!
