project 365. man, i missed getting this posted before midnight on saturday. i was SO close … just a half hour late. but i have to add … that i even have this weeks photos in the album and journaled. so that's gotta count for something. i finished them this morning, ordered the pics, picked them up, and got them all done. anyways .. onto week 7's photos.
day 39 … february 8th. sarah was way overdue for a haircut. but she kept saying no … that she wanted to keep it long. but the other day, she found this old photo of her … with shorter hair. and she was all up for the idea then. usually, i cut her hair myself … it's super thick and very forgiving if you mess up. lol! but i figured i'd take her in this time to have it done. she brought the photo … and we asked for about 3 inches off. although when we walked out … she told me she really didn't want it THAT short. lol! but it looks so much better and healthier. and it has this cute little flip to it now.
day 40 … february 9th. we actually did this on sunday … but sarah had to turn it in on monday. this was her diorama on the cheetah. i will admit that i detest school projects like these … always have. i'm actually quite "project-challenged" … and i freeze up with stuff like this. we went to michael's to get some stuff … and they had some kits to use on dioramas. and we found the cheetah there. although my mom gave us a shoebox … and i decided it was to big … too much space to fill up. lol! so i ran to target and found lots of empty shoe boxes in little kid sizes … and they were nice enough to let me snag one. i think this actually turned out quite well. although notice the huge 3-d glue dots holding the cheetah down … i didn't notice until seeing this picture how goofy that looks. and sarah added the deer in at the last minute … found him in the dollhouse stuff.
day 41 … february 10th. just a shot of my ikea shelves in my studio. i love these shelves … they are everything i thought they would be. i could totally cram these full … but i don't. i like how it all looks sort of decorative and neat … but still holds a lot of stuff. i have 2 shelves side by side … so it's 50 cubes of goodness! and if you've ever seen pics of my studio (which are in an album on the sidebar), you might notice i did some re-arranging. or you might not notice. lol! i should share more about my organizing methods. but don't hold me to that … in case i forget to do it!
day 42 … february 11th. one of the girls favorite games on the Wii … disney's sing-it. and the big screen tv? that was given to us about a month ago, thanks to alyssa's dad. he got a new tv and was getting rid of this older one. it's a little bigger than what i'd like in this room. but i guess it does work better than the 13 inch thing we had in there. lol! this is in the downstairs bedroom … the girls hang-out room. we have the Wii all set up … and rockband. anyways … this was when sarah was singing along to "get your head in the game", from "high school musical". not a great picture … but it's troy bolton (aka: zac efron), and any photo of him is pretty cute! and even though i havn't actually tried this game … i can sing along just as well as the girls on these songs.
day 43 … february 12th. last year, alyssa's dad set up one of his older cell phones for her. she has since moved on to this phone … another one of his old ones. this is her texting … and completely ignoring me. she's actually really good with it though. doesn't really call anyone that often … and is responsible about texting. in fact, she tells her friends NOT to text her with goofy stuff. i have actually NEVER texted before … so i know nothing about it. lol!
day 44 … february 13th. this is billy … our goldfish of over 2 1/2 years. he lives in this fairly small vase … which is a makeshift bowl. i broke his other bowl about a year ago … and in doing so, ended up "assasinating" his brother, willy. that's what the girls will tell you. in truth … i was cleaning the bowl and willy fell down the garbage disposal. and i couldn't bring myself to put my hand in and fetch him out. guess you can figure out the rest. i hoped no one would notice … but they did. so now, billy lives alone .. on the kitchen counter. and this photo was taken right after cleaning his bowl. usually, he lives in total filth. seriously, we only clean it about once a week.
day 45 … february 14th. we don't do much to celebrate valentines day. joe says the guys at work hate him … because he doesn't even have to get me anything. lol! i'm not big on flowers … and i don't really eat chocolate anymore. i just have never really made a big deal out of the day. is that sad? lol! but i did have a few cute valentines projects out around the house … and have made some layouts. so there is some pink, red, and love around here!
and since i'm totally caught up on my album … here's the last 2 weeks in the actual album. cruddy pictures … i'll probably re-take them tomorrow. i was journaling as fast as i could this afternoon (which you can tell by all the mistakes i was making) … trying to get done before the good light was gone. then it got super ugly outside and i lost my light all together. but you get the point! and i was also excited to have my previous 5 weeks shared on the KOTM blog … you can see them HERE.
