We have had a bit of a re-jig with our hard drives recently and it has unearthed some real gems and i thought i would share some of them. This little bunch of shots made me smile. I can actually remember it like it was yesterday. It was in fact not long after our youngest was born. I think she must have been a couple of months and we were deep into winter.
This was after school one day when it was dark soon after we got home. Only two out of my five were actually in school then! It was one of those times before the extra activities had invaded our schedules as they have now and so when we came home from school it was down time and some snackage and play time.
The school kids were showing me a game they had learnt at school called sly fox and we were playing it in the kitchen and i kept turning round and taking shots as they tried to creep up behind me and  be the ‘sly fox.’ They thought it was hilarious when i didn’t turn round and they managed to get to me in time!
It feels like a simpler time actually without the crazyness that now fills our lives and all the running around. That is the nature of the kids getting older i suppose. Its fun to look back and see the kids all little too!!

Oh that looks like so much fun – is it a grandmother’s footsteps variation? It’s funny, the children are all smaller but yet also instantly recognisable as themselves – perhaps because the personality coming bounding through is the same!

Such beautiful photos Sarah, really like them in B&W too. Although they’re smaller you can still recognise their lovely little faces. Just fabulous. Thank you so much for sharing #whatsthestory

I love the photos. Shows how a simple game with some imagination can be so much fun for kids as well as give you wonderful memories (and photos!)
