Family

I got to spend a few hours with my sister and her kids today. We had a nice time talking and laughing, and watching all the kids play is so nice. They really had fun.








Day 31

Friday

Hey all it is Friday! In case you didn't know :)





I stole this idea from my friend Kathryn. She was doing water photos, so I wanted to play around. This is just Veda pouring water in to the sink..
Day 30

Day 29

hi

Wow, been I have been super tired. I went to bed at 8:40 pm last night, and then took a nap today too? Maybe I'm fighting something? I don't know. I did get tattoo work done yesterday, that tends to wear me out. I spend 3+ hours all tense and trying to get through it, I think it takes a toll. I'm STILL not done. For real I have one more session this time...I know I have said that before... I wanted to wait till it was done now to post a photo of it..I'm at least going to wait until it isn't huge and swollen. My arm looks like a sausage today. Ewwe.


This was taken while Sb tried to nap with two kids in the couch. August was "shooting webs" like spider-man left and right. Veda looking through books. He got about 6 minutes of sleep.
Day 27

Day 28

Piggy Chocolate Carmel *

I know I have mentioned how huge my cat is. Today she was following me around the house in the most annoying way. I was trying to figure out what to shoot for the photo of the day. I sat down at the table deciding to read instead when there she is sitting at the table next to me.

Day 26

* Yes that is actually her name..no I didn't name her. My then 3 year old did.

Been busy

Day 23
Veda giving some love to Angus.

Hey Charlie

I know you don't read my blog, but Happy Birthday little sister!




Day 22
Hey all!
August says he loves you :)

Eating skittles..

are good.
My son had a hard day today. Hard for him, and hard for everyone around him. He was grumpy and wild and hard to manage. He did dole out a few hugs, but overall had some pretty noisy melt downs. 3 year old boys!! So I was at the store today and noticed there was a Spider-Man pajama on sale. If you know anything about August, it is that he is in LOVE with Spidey! So I got it and gave it to him at bedtime. He said "I'm going to wear this every day" Oh and he will.


Day 21

Happy New President Day!

What a historic day! Since our TV is out we turned on NPR and listened to the inauguration of Barack Obama. IT was very cool. I loved his speech! Moving as always!



Day 20

in your eyes

Today's photo of the day may look like a normal photo, which it is...
I took this today of my nephew, if you look close in the larger view( click on the pic), you will see me taking his picture in the reflection of his eyes. I promise I did not Photoshop me in there. I have seen this type of picture before but have yet to get a good reflection till now.

Day 19

Here comes the sun!

Ahh It was a beautiful crisp SUNNY day today. I just love that. Reminds me that spring will be here at some point. I even spotted tiny crocus leaves are just starting to pop up! They come up to remind me that Spring is going to be around the corner..a few cold corners, but still! There is hope :)

The photo for today was a shot I took of Rosa. There was bright light coming in the window that took color off a lot of her face. I decided to play around with it. I usually don't go to quite such extremes with photos, but it is fun to experiment every now and then. I love the way it looks like she has these dark eyes.

Day18

Cold

Seems we are all a tad sick with the sniffles. Bummer. Oh well, hopefully it will pass soon.


Day 16


Day 17
A good friend of mine.

MIA

I was super busy yesterday I will get in two photos today to make up for it...later lol

Kathryn, are you blogging too?

Just a quick shout out!

Me and the kids watched ELF tonight. Man that movie makes me laugh. Anything with Will Farrel pretty much cracks me up though. Rosa giggled quite a bit. Veda got half the jokes and August just liked seeing Santa.
Today Rosa asks me if she can have a email account. I tell her not yet. She isn't quite old enough. I explain to her about SPAM, and how a lot of times it is inappropriate for kids. It could also mean viruses that can harm our computer. Later at bedtime, she calls for me. Back up to her room I go. She tell me she is totally freaked out about SPAM and all she can think of is scary emails and she can't sleep. She obviously took my word "inappropriate" in a whole other way. She is now nestled in my bed safe from all unwanted emails!


Today's photo(s) of the day is a teeny bit sad. Only cause there are tears involved. They are crocodile tears though I promise. I told Auggie he had to go to bed. He was NOT happy about that. He wanted to watch Spider-man one more time.. I said no, the tears followed. At least he still blew me a kiss when asked!
