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. [...]

That’s the challenge today: something blue. Is there enough blue here for you? THIS is the first day of school picture. I know you wish you were me.

I think I may start changing up my titles. This Photo Challenge bit is starting to get a little boring. But, I know you’re just dying to know what the next one is. Right? A Childhood Memory This was a toughie. I mean, how do you take a picture of a memory? I think I [...]

Photo Challenge 7 and 9

A cool extra thing about this photo is the background. See the photos on the fridge in the background? One [...]

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. [...]
