Facebook Contest - Near Water
We spent Saturday morning at Arrow Valley walking the dog.
We use to go a lot but seemed to have forgotten about it lately. It's a lovely place for walking the dog and I needed to try and get some photos for next weeks facebook photo contest 'near the water'. I like the first shot but think I'll try and get a few more shots over this week to see if I can improve it.

10th Birthday Party
William hit double digits on Saturday! We struggled to come up with a party that could accommodate his ever growing list of friends at a reasonable price and suitable to stimulate his age group.
Eventually, by complete luck, we found http://redditchpremiersbmxclub.blogspot.com/. A BMX race track just down the road from us. They didn't host organised parties, but for £3.50 per person the kids could use the pro racetrack all day. That with the promise of McDonalds take away seem to please Williams ever growing demands!
The weather started badly and we were nervous that such a casual arrangement might not work but I can now happily say this was a massive success! It was hard to drag the kids away at the end with comments of 'Best party ever!'. The staff were fantastic and I would recommend this place to anybody that has hyper boys or girls to wear out! William now wants to join the racing club and start training on Saturday mornings.

The Gallery: Week 25: Photos Taken on August 29th
I've been getting frustrated because I haven't been able to use my camera much lately, just as I was starting to really get into the swing of it!
However I was chuffed to bits when Tara's weekly gallery was 'A Picture taken on August 29th'. This was perfect for me as we'd been invited to a wedding!

The Karate Kid
Well Taekwondo Kid to be pedantic!
William had to go a different Taekwondo session today as he couldn't make Tuesdays last week. His friend, Joel is on holiday so he had to go alone which he was really nervous about but we managed to persuade him as we had ordered his first ever suit and it was ready to pick up. As you can see he was very glad he went and insisted on a photo shoot in the back garden when we got back!
Best of all he loved Sundays session and has now asked if he can go on Tuesdays and Sundays! I really hope we have found something he loves to do without the security blanket of a group of mates with him. Whenever his 'regular' friends all jump on the bandwagon of a new leisure activity one of two things happens.
a) They don't really like it so belittle it making William feel he shouldn't be doing it - so he gives up.
b) Somebodies better at it than him (and usually tend to let him know) - so he gives up, with his confidence knocked again!

Graffiti
I've always loved graffiti art, so while were doing a fantastic treasure trail around Bromsgrove, I grabbed these few shots from the kids skate park. It's inspired me to go and try an find some better stuff as I think the colours look great in photography.
Will wants me to make a picture for his bedroom, which I think is a great idea but think I'll wait till I get some better examples, although I do like the Respect one just based on the message.
