A few of my favourite things…

Posted by English Mum in BLOG on Jan 13th, 2010 | 43 responses

So I finally got tagged in Tara Cain’s ‘favourite photo meme’.  I was beginning to feel  like Norma-no-mates as blogger after blogger got tagged (no, Tara, I’m not bitter…).  Finally, though, the fabulous, 51% Linda from Got Your Hands Full and the lovely Zoe over at Diary of a Surprise Mum took pity on me and  challenged me to publish my favourite photo…

And actually, I’ve cheated a bit as there are two.  The first is a picture of my firstborn, the wondrous Mad Professor, giving his beloved Grandad a piece of his mind, as usual.  I love the look on his face (it’s obviously a good story), and you can see that my Dad’s smiling as he’s listens to his Grandson waffling on.  Magical.

#1 and DD

Second up is my favourite photo of The Death Wish Child.  He’s on a very windy beach in Lanzarote.  I’m not sure why I love it so much, but I love his scrunched up little smile and his funky denim hat: 

#2 baby

And lastly, here’s my absolute favourite song.  Hubby has it on his laptop, my rockin’, Slipknot loving #1 has this on his phone, as does funky, Chipmunk loving son #2.  It’s a proper family favourite:

So now, I tag the lovely Liz at Living with Kids, and let’s open it up a little farther shall we?  To Coastal Aussie in the land of Vegemite.  Off you go, then…

    Fancy a brew? I am most distressed that you have ruined my friend Rosie Scribbles ‘innocence’, snort.

    But your pics are otherwise gorgeous. Such cute boys. And Grandad has fabulous hair.

    Look at those knees, makes you want to pick him up and give him a cwych, love it!
    I once saw Richard Gere in a Playgirl centrefold, he had what looked like a string bag over his nuts.
    Just saying.
    And it’s 49.

    I’m not sure what your father looks like from the front, but at this angle, he’s a dead-ringer for Richard Gere.

    Cute pics.
