12. Lego Head (The Boy is getting quite good at deciphering the LEGO instructions although he does need some guidance as they seem to miss steps often. Sunday was a quite day of playing in the house.)
13. The Big Bear (After the CBeebies Stargazing focus last week, The Boy has been passionate about stars and the constellations. I sent Mr. TBaM into the loft to retrieve my grandad's constellation globe which is around 35 years old. We spend a good half an hour examining the different 'people' in the sky.)
14. Astronomer (I gathered together all of the resources I could think of in the house, and set up a stargazing den for him in the corner of the dining room complete with a battery-operated orrery.)
15. Hello! (Wednesday evening, I couldn't bear to put another sleeping child photo in, no matter how cute he is asleep. This is him using the slinky as a megaphone. Because he's 4.)
16. The Boot (We bought The Boy a globe at Christmas as he often asks where some countries are, and he was eager to find out where Italy was after school on Thursday.)
17. Dusk (After a relatively mediocre day at home on my own feeling very meh, I decided that we were going down the beach after school. We togged up in wellies and waterproofs and went and enjoyed the most beautiful sunset while throwing all our energy into plopping pebbles.)
18. Mr. Fix-it (Mr. TBaM fell over cycling home from work and damaged his gear slightly, which completely fell of into the spokes causing more damage! The Boy helped him fix it this afternoon following a busy morning at a new soft-play centre.)

Loving the stargazing Poppy would love one of those globes. That last picture is just gorgeous
I love your astronomy shots they are great x x
You have such an eye for photography… I LOVE the beach shot! It's so simple, yet so magical! The focus on the bike wheel is fascinating too – especially with the boy in the background!
Gorgeous photos – I absolutely love the silhouette on the beach 🙂
Wonderful astronomy shots – love those. Love the beach even more though, sounds like you had a fabulous time there. Beautiful 🙂
Your beach sunset shot is just wonderful. Really lovely. Cool shot too with him behind the bike spokes. I'm now inspired to find a stargazing globe like your old one.
Love the idea of a stargazing den
The stargazing shots are lovely, but the photo at the beach is fabulous. The photo of The Boy through the spokes is a brilliantly composed picture x
I love the fact that you can just go to the beach at the end of the day, you are very lucky! The beach shot is lovely, but I think my favourite is the bike shot with the Boy in the background, it's really effective in black and white.
Wow, a constellation globe. I'd love one of those. A decent globe is on my list for N's next Christmas present – we have books about different country, but I used to love my light up globe when I was a kid.
He looks like the Karate Kid in the beach pic – love it! That globe looks so fantastic too 🙂
I love the stargazer globe, it looks like the boy loves it too
I love seeing the boys wonder through your lens, beautiful shots, I must remember to try some clever ones like through the bike wheel.
I'm late tot he show but going to join in for the rest of the year.

What a lovely set!
My boys are getting quite good at building Legos as well. They are much more mechanically minded than their mommy!
The slinky picture made me laugh!
I love the beach sunset. It makes me wish I lived closer to the water.
really beautiful photos – all of them really really lovely. i especially like the beach shot with its colours and textures and i love that you have made him an astrology den"! fab idea and why shouldnt a slinky be used as a megaphone x
Dusk is a simply gorgeous photo 🙂 x
I love the light up globe and I've been envious of your den this week. Definitely need to do something like this for The Bug
6yo has just started taking an interest in the globe too this week.
I love the idea of your den, what a great thing to do. Can I come over to enjoy it as well?!
I love the idea of a star gazing den.
Also, that beach shot is stunning! x
wat an amazing globe! its made for some beautiful shots xx
Your photos are amazing! I LOVE the sunset, beautiful photo
Love your star gazing activities this week. I so want to get a globe like that for my wee man! I love traveling and well he does his fair share for a nearly 3yr old. That beach scene is worthy of a huge wall space. Goodness you have left me feeling a bit inspired for next week!
My hubby is desperate to buy Emmy a globe however we are waiting until it won't be spun around and around then broken.
Thanks for hosting
Really gorgeous photos this week. I love globes and that constellation one is amazing. Also love the dusk picture and the bicycle one- great light and perspective.
Your photo's are stunning! I especially love the beach one! Looks like a great week.
Just loving the beach shot with the pebble mid air against the sun
JR has been obsessed with space since the stargazing week too, I love the little den you built.
I love the Constellation Globe.. It sounds like a busy stargazing week 🙂 The beach shot is stunning too x
That globe is just the coolest thing ever, my 6 year old would love it 🙂
gosh between the globe and the stargazing he will be well educated, but isnt it great to nurture an interest. All the big names started out with just a nurtured interest.
Hope Mr TBaM was not hurt and that his bike can be sorted.
The beach shot is my favourite though, looks like he was having fun.
I love that globe
The globe looks wonderful and I love that last shot x
I love that globe! It is great!! Lovely pictures x
The Dusk photo is beautiful. A proper "let loose" after school 🙂 that light up globe is very cool.
I love the look of complete absorption when looking at the globe.
I seriously need to start taking them to the beach more often, we live so near but never seem to get there!
I love the astronomy pics, 7 year old is now nagging me to do a space theme with him 🙂
It looks like The Boy has been having lots of fun with his globe this week. Lovely photos as always.
I was in awe of your star gazing den this week and well jel of you illuminated planets. Your boy shows so much curiosity in his world he is destined for great things.gorgeous shots as always but love the bike one.
The picture at the beach is stunning! Slinkys are the best thing to use as a megaphone! 🙂
That star gazing den is fab! Great idea!
Lovely pics. I love globes, they are fab. Thanks for hosting x x
Gorgeous photos! I love the way the globe lights his face. And the bike photo is incredible. x
We have one of those globes but the bulb has gone. Ella's asked me to get a new one because she's got a thing about learning about the earth at the moment 🙂
Some really stunning photography here. I especially like the image of the bike wheel. My kids were fascinated by our globe around the same age – fantastically education tool aren't they?
I love the globe. I was always fascinated with them when I was younger!
Lovely shot on the beach.
Slinkies are a lot of fun.
I wish we lived somewhere you could visit the beach after school! What a beautiful photograph.
Love the stargazing den, great photos
The beach picture is stunning…love it!
The globe is gorgeous and I love the idea of a stargazing den. Your beach photo is brilliant, it looks like The Boy is about to have a Karate Kid moment.
Glorious photos. The globe is a great learning tool and I think I will get the girls one.
The final photo is very karate kid. The sky and setting looks amazing
