Weekly Winners.

It’s that time again and even though I have lost some mojo this week, I still had to post my favourites and participate in Sarcastic Mom’s Weekly Winners. How could I not?

I’m really sorry I didn’t get around to comment much this week. Ivy is feeling much better today, so I have fingers crossed for a happier week.

It was gorgeous weather over the weekend. Summer’s last hurrah.

What better way to soak it all up but with naked waterplay?

I made this over the weekend…

I originally saw the idea on Scribbit and have not been able to buy one of hers (they sell too fast) So I bit the bullet and made my own.

It’s called a Quiet Family and is essentially a box, that opens up to be a little stage scene, if you will, for the peg people to play in.

I made all the peg people too!

The kids have enjoyed playing with them. The idea is that these little guys will keep kids busy at times when you need them to be quiet and still (like in Doctor’s rooms - and Lord knows I’ve got alot of that coming up in the school holidays).

Finally, over the weekend my little guys learnt to navigate the steps down into the back yard.

Of course, we had to do that naked and wet as well.

Share and Enjoy:

Beautiful pictures, I love how the colourful cups and bathtub helped accentuate the shots.

You are so crafty. Adore the family box!

Hmmmm: the words “naked waterplay” should bring you a different set of readers!

I don’t believe Ivy has been sick. There’s no way you’ve had time to make those glorious peg people!

Thank God the little cherub is getting back on top form. Looks like the pred is doing it’s job- in more ways than one Not sure she’ll thank you for the ‘nude-pred-body’ photos in years to come!!

Please give the babies big kisses and hugs from me and tell them I’ll see them soon xo

Naked is the best way to be with the weather we have been having lately. Sheesh!

I love your peg people, they are amazing.

And the kids? Are gorgeous as usual. Crossing fingers and toes for a good week for you.

Tracey - No, she is a prednisone pudding, LOL. I’m sure she will love it when I bring them out for her 21st!
As for the box… I defered all parenting to the husband. Probably why they were naked for the majority of the weekend. ;P

well aren’t you the wee creative one with that box!

Pictures are lovely (again)…I love wee bellies. more belly I say!

I live for Sundays these days! The photos are gorgeous!! Was it just the angle you took all the naked photos from… or does it seem that Ivy has less blisters on her bottom right now? I couldn’t see any so I’m hoping and praying that she is blister free at the moment.

The box is AMAZING - you are truly so talented! I wish I possessed the artistic flare that you do!

We will be praying for a good week for you and the kids!

I love all the pool pictures…we’re looking forward to that weather over here!
Betsy (88 comments.), on March 17th, 2008 at 12:15 am Said:

WHAT GORGEOUS PICTURES! Perhaps my extreme reponse is also due to the snow, frozen, brown state that we are currently in as we begin to emerge from the duldrums. And I am envious of that gorgeous bright sunshine and greenery that surrounds the naked beauties!

Glad Ivy is feeling a wee better. I hope you are too Sweet Momma.

Gorgeous photos, as always and the box is beautiful - you are so clever!

I’m so glad Ivy’s feeling better. I hope it continues. And I’m glad you have the time and energy for fun like naked waterplay - looks like the kids had a great time.

Good luck with all the upcoming doctor’s appointments.

Those are amazing pictures! Nothing like babes and water…
My daughter would go apeshit over a box like that… if you ever decide to make them and sell them let me know! I want to be your first customer!

Beautiful shots this week!! Sorry I’ve been so scarce lately…but it looks like I may be scarce again within a few days. Your family is always in my thoughts!!!
Jenty (55 comments.), on March 17th, 2008 at 7:26 am Said:

OMW I just love these shots, all of them! I like the colours in the waterplay photos with the bright pink, and my favourite has to be the last one of that set.

And that box is just so clever. I was reading the last post before this one, and I wish you all the best in getting to the bottom of the problem and solving it.

That box is fantastic. You did an amazing job on it, you should give yourself a huge pat on the back!!
Those pictures are gorgeous, of course that has a lot to do with the kiddos being gorgeous
Naked and wet, sounds like how my kids spent most of their week, too
Wonderful Weekly Winners!
