Toward the end of last year and before school began this year, the three oldest kids begged me to buy them Thermoses.  Begged.  I don’t know who in their classes were bringing warm leftovers, but Jack and Maria insisted that they wanted to do it, too.  And Luke, wanting to be like them, insisted the [...]

Photo Challenge?

August 28th, 2011 · 2 Comments · Adventures, Parenting, Picture Taking

Well, I’ve skipped a challenge or two.  But, that’s because the one for Friday was “Sunset.”  Really?  ‘Cause around the time of sunset, I’m a little busy… Washing dishes, washing babies, screaming at some children and putting others to bed.  It is NOT a good time for me to grab my camera and run outside.  [...]

Photo Challenge 7 and 9

August 22nd, 2011 · No Comments · Family, Parenting, Picture Taking

Photo challenge 7 was “fruit.” So.  Here’s some fruit: This was some of the fruit served at my sister’s wedding party. I prefer Photo Challenge 9, which is “Someone you love.” Need I say more?  A cool extra thing about this photo is the background.  See the photos on the fridge in the background?  One [...]

Photo Challenge 8

August 21st, 2011 · No Comments · Parenting

Yes, I skipped Day 7. Sort of… I did take the picture, but it’s on my other camera and I can’t upload it at the moment (and couldn’t yesterday, either). I’ll post it when I can. Today’s challenge? Easy – a bad habit.

Photo Challenge Day 3

August 16th, 2011 · No Comments · Picture Taking

It’s kind of nice to be doing this challenge thingy, as I don’t have to come up with titles for my posts!  Then again, so far, the photos have been VERY uninteresting. That’s about to change, I think, with this photo (the challenge is “clouds”): Cool, isn’t it?  I totally lucked out getting this picture.  [...]
