i'm still on track and doing good with my project 365 photos. i've taken the camera out every day. want to know what i'm most excited about? when i look through my photos from last year … i realize that i took 2-3 times more photos of the daycare kids than of my own family. as much as i love the daycare kids … i think that's kind of sad that i don't have that many photos of my girls. maybe because they're older … and don't do all the little things that the ittie-bitties do. but most of my photos of them last year were the posed shots. which are great and i love them. but i was sorely lacking on the everyday photos. and this past week .. i've well made up for it. on to my photos for week two.
day 4 … january 4th. sunday is grocery shopping day. i try and only do the big shopping every other week … and just pick up the fill-in stuff the other week. this week i happen to have some excellent coupons … limitless coupons, in fact. the big one? pop-tarts for 99 cents. my girls love pop-tarts for breakfast … so i seriously stocked up on those! i had to take a photo of my receipt. the total was $64.09 … and yet my savings was $61.31. impressive, right?!?!
day 5 … january 5th. this was monday, the girls last day of the holiday break before going back to school. this was right after they took a shower in the morning (explains sarah's wet hair). and they were both curled up on the couch … under blankets … playing their nintendo's. and sarah was eating waffles … the one day she didn't have a pop-tart. and no, i do NOT let them eat on the couch normally. lol!
day 6 … january 6th. so this was tuesday … but it could have been taken on tuesday, wednesday, or thursday to be honest. this is my kitchen island … and this is how it looked for 3 straight days. actually, i had stuff on the other counters too … just can't see that part. 11 projects were created on this island this past week. my studio is upstairs. but when i'm working my regular job … i'm downstairs. of course, i'm a multi-tasker … so i work my regular job and my side job at the same time. gotta love nap time … it's when i get the most work done. but for some reason, i can't scrap upstairs while the little ones are napping. so i bring everything downstairs … and then end up making another 38 trips up and down for things i forget. lol!
day 7 … january 7th. this is what we wake up to most days … tons of fog. it was one of the first things i thought of when i woke up … was to take a photo of it. this was taken from the side of the house … right outside the laundry room door. we're on a corner … so our front door is around on that left side. you could only see about 2 houses down … the fog was so thick.
day 8 … january 8th. this is alyssa doing her homework after school. the girls are both good about doing their homework right away … usually at the kitchen table. although sometimes alyssa goes up to her room to do it at her desk. i thing she's doing her reading log here … she has to read half hour a day and then fill out all sorts of stuff about what she read. and right now she's reading "the sisterhood of the traveling pants". and just a funny sidenote … never stand on a swivel barstool, and lean over your child to try and get a good shot. well, you CAN do this … but be warned that accidents can and will happen! lol!
day 9 … january 9th. sarah woke up on friday morning with a sore throat and a runny nose. by the time she got home from school, she had a slight fever going. so we got some medicine in her and she relaxed most of the night. about 9:00 that night … i found her climbed in our bed … curled up playing her nintendo. joe came in not too long after that to go to bed too. the faces she makes while playing her nintendo are so funny … if only i showed you all the pics i got. lol!
day 10 … january 10th. i know to some of you … this stack isn't that huge. but to me it is. these are layouts that i put away in albums today. i just got a bunch of layouts and cards back from one of the magazines a few days ago … so it made my pile a little too big for my liking. i do like them all stacked up … you can see the bent corners and bulkiness of them. but i like them even more when they're all neatly in their correct albums!
