Scavenger Hunt

Scavenger Hunt Sunday items: Black and White, I Ate This, Historic, Off-Center and The End

I only have one photo this week:

Hair Cuts

Yesterday we went to "The hair cut place." My big boy doesn't mind having his hair cut, in fact, he loves having a captive audience! He talks to the "hair cut lady" about anything that comes to mind. On the way home he said "my hair cut is blowing away!"

I was worried that my girl would not do well but she sat still and didn't even freak out when "the lady" put the cape on her, making thumb sucking out of the question. at the end she said "my hair is not in my eyes! Now can I have a sucker?" motivation is everything :-)

Maybe I'm biased but I think she looks adorable.

Family Photo

This was my first family photo session, thankfully I was shooting an awesome family, and aren't those boys adorable?

The weather was perfect for photography and the park was crowded with people who had the same idea as us but we still found some great spots and I cleaned stray people out of a few backgrounds afterwards. I'm so thankful for Photoshop!

The littlest little guy gave me a run for my money, let's just say he didn't want to pose for the camera but I still got a few smiles out of him- what a cute boy!

I brought a stuffed bear and balanced it on my head to keep the kids' attention. It kept falling off, and the littlest guy looked at me like I had lost my mind! Big brother took good care of Bear while he played on the train.

This last one is just a snapshot but I still like the warm loving feel.

5 Things

It's already time for another scavenger hunt! You have got to take a look at Ashley Sisk's photos from this week- they are awesome!

Even though my images are not nearly as good as Ashley's, I still had a lot of fun.

2. Hand Made (my girl's little fingers!)

3. Orange

4. Candle

5. Traffic Signals or Signs

"Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most."

I seriously thought that I lost my mind today. That's it! It's gone for good. The kids have been sick this week and although the fevers have all passed, they are so grumpy! I took the kids outside this morning for a change of scenery but that didn't help at all so we came inside for an early lunch. After the kids went down for naps I looked around for my favorite mug. I remember pouring a second cup of coffee this morning but I don't remember drinking it and I could really use some coffee right now! I looked everywhere, outside, in the laundry room, I even snuck into the kid's room... no luck. I began to doubt that my favorite mug ever existed when I took one last look in the garage:

there it was in the seat of the John Deere and do you want to know the saddest part about it?

There wasn't even any coffee left. Well, I guess the only thing left to do is go brew more while the house is still quiet!

The innocence of a child

I'm entering the Pixel Perfect contest at the last minute. The theme is "the innocence of a child" which is surprisingly difficult for me! I decided to enter this one since it best captures this innocence of my little girl.
