97. Through the Semi-Circle Window! (The sun valiantly tried to shine for most of the afternoon and so we headed out to St. Fagan's Museum in north-west Cardiff. Back in November I bought an annual pass for the car park (museums in Wales are free) but we haven't been there since to get our money's worth. Now the weather is brightening up, we'll be there a lot more often. This time we explored the castle, but it's fair to say that once we've done that it will be a long time before we need to go back. Bit bland!)
98. By Torch-Light (We made a spectacular den in the living room (actually I did, Mr. TBaM is rubbish at them) and The Boy spent quite some time underneath reading his books by torchlight.)
99. Adoring Listener (We visited his cousins who we'd missed for several weeks due to us both being on holiday. He adores his cousins, and they are so good with him. Here he's watching and listening to his nine year old female cousin.)
100. Bath-time (Apologies for the bland photograph but today was back to work after three weeks off and I was shattered! A bathtime snap is all I could manage!)
101. Stretchy Squares (I bought The Boy a pegboard and eleastic bands and he's had great fun making shapes.)
102. Before The Big Day (Today we nipped into town to retrieve my much-missed Samsung Galaxy S3 which took a month to repair, as a result he missed his nap and was shattered at bedtime. Busy day tomorrow!)
103. Justin's House (We've just come in from an amazing day with Jenny from Mummy Mishaps and her lovely family. It was a great surprise for The Boy as I didn't tell him any of the plans until he saw Jenny pull onto the drive in her car. They came up for lunch, the three boys had a great play together and then we headed into Cardiff to see Justin's House. He's been to a few shows before, mainly CBeebies, but this was his first larger production and he loved every second (apart from when Robert sucked up all the lights into his hoover). Afterwards we all went for a yummy dinner in Pizza Express!)

Wow, that first photo is stunning! That's a canvas shot! Justin's House looks like a fun day out. Lovely photos again this week 🙂
Thank you, I love how it's framed. Justin's House was an excellent show, I'd thoroughly recommend going if you have the opportunity.
Sounds like he loved Justin 🙂 we did too when we watched it last week!
He really did and so did I! Glad you enjoyed it too.
The Justin's House photo is incredible!
What a great surprise for him 🙂
He almost burst when he saw Burton in the back seat of the car on our drive. The show was excellent, really impressed with the quality of the production.
I love that bathtime photo!
Really? I think it's the most boring one of the lot.
Love that top photo, it's beautiful!
Thanks lovely, I'm pleased with how it's framed.
great when they go and see a show and are old enough to enjoy it. Glad you had a good time with Jenny. Love the peg board, great idea so much scope for leraning from it
The show was a little too long for him but he followed the story well. The peg board is a great resource.
That first picture is lovely!
And the Justins House pic is just fantastic!
Thank you, they're both my favourites of the week.
Great photos – he really is a gorgeous boy! Bet you had a fab time at 'Justin's House' 🙂
Oh thank you, I think so. It was a brilliant show, really worth the extortianate rate.
That arch picture is beautiful. So well framed.
Thank you, it was a high drop on the one side so Mr. TBaM was just out of shot.
i love the bathtime photo its so naturel and cute
Really? It's a bit nondescript, my least favourite.
I'm glad you had Lots of fun today and love all the photos, look like a fab week x
Thanks, it was a rewarding week and we've had lots of fun.
what can i say? such a beautiful selection of images from this week and it is hard to choose a favourite tbh. the first one – i love his cheeky smile, the red in his boots and coat and how he is framed by that curved archway. I like the side view of him and the look of surprise/achievement in the peg photo. i always love a sleepy pic and of course todays photo is superb!
love them and all of you x
I really like the side profile photo as well, the sunlight catches his hair nicely. We had a brilliant time on Saturday, thanks so much for coming up with your lovely family.
wow what a great week! and such beautiful pics 🙂
Thanks.
we loved Justins house too! love that first photo
You were right, it was brilliant and the fact that other CBeebies people were there made it so much better.
Great pictures, the semi circle window is my favourite and I think the boys owl pjs are very sweet x
Thanks, I like them too. I'm quite pleased with the semi-circle window.
Gorgeous photos. This looks like a fun week. I can't wait for tomorrow when we will come to Cardiff for Justin & Friends.
Did you enjoy it? We thought it was a great show.
Love the semi-circle window….captures beautifully a gorgeous smiley boy 🙂
Thank you, I'm pleased with it too.
I like the way the arch frames the first photo.
Sounds like you all had a great time at Justin's House.
Thanks, there was a huge drop in front of the argh so Mr. TBaM was just out of shot!
I really like that first picture too. It's a great frame for him and he looks so happy to be there. Sounds like you had a great time with Jenny and the boys.
We really did, it's great to spend time with friends.
The show likes great fun!
*looks like
It really was brilliant, expensive but worth it.
That first shot is a stunner. What an adorable grin The Boy has
Thank you, I'm pleased with the framing of it. And I do love his smile.
Beautiful photos, I love No.99 he's going to break hearts when he's older.
The girls would have loved to have gone to Justin's House
Thank you, I do particularly like no. 99 as well. Justin's House was excellent.
great shot of the fireworks looks like lots of fun was had at justins house!
It was excellent and I blocked several children's views to stand up and take that photo with the fireworks, all in the name of art hey?
A lovely collection of photos, although my favourite is the window one. You've had quite a week and I bet The Boy was very excited to see Justin.
Lots of people seem to like the archway photo, I'm pleased with how it turned out.
Oh the sleepy photo, his hands! How adorable =)
I'm a sucker for a sleeping child picture.
I thought the first photo would be my favourite but then I got to the last one! Thats fab and I bet you all had a great day.
The last one is my favourite although it's not a brilliant quality one.
I love the first photo, you should have it blown up and on your wall. I bet all the children loved the show

I don't think younger Jenson was that impressed because of the length, but they did all enjoy it on some level.
Looks like another fun week. The semi circle winning picture is beautiful as is the boy in the listening shot
Thank you, two of my favourites from the week.
I love that first shot – great framing! You're so lucky The Boy still naps, I think we may have lost ours this week…
I don't think I could handle that but with school starting in September I'm going to have to wean him off soon.
I love these photos. The boy is getting so big… Bless him!
I know, he needs to slow down a bit for me.
Another fun week by the looks of it!
Thanks.
I know I said it on Instagram but I really love the shot of Justin's House. Even though The Boy is in silhouette you can feel his elation from being there, it's wonderful.
One of the things I love about this project is that it offers a peek into the day to day lives of participants. There's nothing wrong with a 'bland' bath shot!
He absolutely loved the show, and we enjoyed it too.
That first photo is fantastic – beautiful shot of the Boy in a great setting. I really like your bath time shot 🙂
Thanks, it was a snap opportunity.
Justin must have been a great surprise! My little boy loves torches and he recently got one as part of his birthday – I may have to steal your den idea as I think he'd love to do this!
Great photos and thanks again for hosting this linky!
My pleasure. The den lasted three days until we had to take it down when a friend came over for dinner.
love the first photo with the boy in the arch, great catch and the way you caught the fireworks makes a fab picture 🙂
I do like the fireworks photo, the silhouette seems to work well.
love the first picture, he looks to be having a great time!
Thanks, he loves exploring and clambering.
Oh he is such a stunner! Your photography is amazing and I love the first picture so much, He looks so happy- you shoudl be very proud, in more ways than one

Thanks for such lovely words, I am very proud of him; he's my pride and joy.
all this weeks photos are amazing especially the top photo, and the bath he looks so happy in both and they really show off his features
