Have I mentioned my irrational hatred of balloons?
Like most children, Freya loves them so I just have to suck it up (and flinch a lot when she sits on it, bangs it against things or just generally pretends it is an opponent in a wrestling match).
On this occasion my dislike was slightly tempered by how lovely it looked against this beautiful wall so I quickly took this iPhone pic before it could suddenly burst and make me (and her) jump.
It had some poop on it (the wall, not the balloon) so I used my trusty friend Fotor to clean it up.
Wishing you all a fab week.

That is a such a gorgeous photo. Love the way the red of the balloon really stands out against the blue wall.

My kids love balloons too – I don’t hate them, but if I get the opportunity I take scissors to them, they maybe last about a day here.

Hehe! I can’t even take the scissors to them. I just stay as far away as possible 🙂

I always flinch when Alex gets hold of a balloon as I’m just waiting for him to squeeze it just that little bit too much for it to burst in his little hands…
