alyssa may be thinking twice about not playing softball. i decided to bring my camera along with us to practice … might as well do something productive while we sit there, right? then she realized that she was the only one that could be my "model" … since sarah was out on the field for an hour and a half!

love this one! gotta click on it to really see her eyes … and her freckles. not bad since i only took about 12 photos … so my odds were a little less than usual. and we were working with about a 2 foot by 4 foot section of grass that had decent lighting. and i had to keep telling her to scoot an inch this way … and back just a little … now forward … off to the left. lol! i was sitting in my chair … leaning over to even out the shade on her a bit. i know, i know … it would have been easier to get up and try a different part of the park area. lol! but all our stuff was there … and no one around to watch it.

can you tell how excited she is by the fact that i’m subjecting her to such horrors as picture-taking?!?! lol! some day she’ll appreciate these! i was noticing on this one that her left eye looked a little "off" … and i think it’s that it appears that she has no eyelashes. lol! this happens on a lot of her photos come to think of it. i thought about trying to photoshop some longer lashes on there just for fun … but that seemed like a lot of work. and i’m probably the only one that even noticed these things!

and this one? she was doing some sort of backwards, upside down thing for me. only thing is … i didn’t have my zoom lens on my camera. so i couldn’t pan out to get the whole thing. and i wasn’t about to get up from my chair to get it. lol!

other than that … a typical tuesday. nothing crazy or bad … but totally draining. my tuesdays are always like that. i did have a surprise visit from one of my previous daycare mommies … showing off her precious baby girl who is just 3 months old. so cute and looks just like her brother! nice to catch up and chat a little … miss seeing her. i also had a nice visit from my neighbor while she was killing some time before getting her son from school. always nice to have visitors during the day … since it gets quiet around here. haley was talking me ear off today … but i have no clue what she was telling me. nikolas is babbling all the time … but i have no clue what he’s saying to me either. ariana talked my ear off of course … she’s always good for some funny conversations.

off to count meals … the only thing left on my tax stuff. i really don’t want to know how many meals i served … makes me realize how much food i dish out. food is actually the number one expense for home daycares … which makes sense … because i know these kids eat ALL day long! i keep wondering why i spend so much on groceries?!?! lol!
