Week 9.... yup.

OK so it's week 9 and the theme...MESS.  Yes this one could have taken so many turns.. my craft supply, the book shelf, a bedroom, pretty much ANY closet in this place... but I'll admit I just couldn't bring myself to show you any of these places.  And if I did my mother would drive the 10 hours to KILL me and then clean up the house a bit LOL.  So I was at a loss. Should a make it less messy?.. organize the chaos a little and then take the picture?.. cheating right??

And just when I was getting anxiety I was saved by 2 words...  Spaghetti night!

She makes that big mess look so cute right?

We just strip her down to her diapers because could you imagine what the outfit would look like?!

Remember it's never too late to join the fun!

Have a fabulous day.

I know.... I KNOW!...don't hate me

OK so I. m. HORRIBLE! I have not been keeping up with you AT ALL. and really there is no excuse except that my to do list is about a mile long and blogging is on it I SWEAR but it's a little low on the list and I just never make it that far...so today I moved it up! Which is why I am blogging so early HAHA. And I have to be honest I'm a little surprised my brain is functioning well enough to do this (oh i hope i don't read this later and think.."YEAH RIGHT! you sound stupid") Ok so you know how I was all excited about that photo challenge and was all "I'm gonna keep up with it" and then i..well..DIDN'T! GRRR so anyway the best thing about that is it's still going on and I can still hop back in there so today I AM and just in time for my favorite...

It's never too late to join the fun!
details here!

WEEK 8
BLACK &WHITE


I love black and white pictures...they bring the drama right? It's also a good way to take a picture that in color may be not so perfect and save it. These 2 shots where both taken in not the greatest lighting.  The thing I liked best about this week was that I didn't have to think too much about what I was shooting I could just snap away and later decide what I wanted to make black and white. Of course then I couldn't decide but narrowed it down to 2.

We were in the car and she was playing peek-a-boo with daddy's hat.

Lil Man ATTACKED by daddy AKA the kissing MONSTER.

I'm sure you can see why I couldn't decide between these two! Which one do you like best in B&W? Leave a comment and let me know!

Week 1! Self Portrait =/

Alright so here it is Week one of the photography challenge and it starts with a self portrait.  I had mixed feeling about this because 1 like most woman/mothers/people out there I HATE pictures of myself.  Well except the ones from when I was like 20 and then my wedding pictures which don't even look like me (in a totally fabulous kind of way) Any whoo... the thing that I did like about this was that it was easy all I needed was my camera and me! So after trying all kinds of nifty ideas that didn't exactly work the way that I wanted them to.  I did this accidental oops of a shot that totally spoke to me AND you can hardly see me in the picture BONUS! haha but I'm there and I think it's kind of neat. This is me as reflected by my horribly splotchy fingerprinted computer screen. I accidentally used my flash but it gave this vintagy (not a word) look to the shot.

Can you tell the kids have been touching the screen??

I cleaned my screen as soon as I was done BTW. Let me know what you think about it!

I also sort of like it a B&W as well.

So I'd say we're off to a good start. Next on the list is "what makes you smile"...it's either gonna be my little monkedoos or food most likely but you never know! HAHA Don't foget to check back next Thurs. and see.  Also you can see the details and the rest of the list here if you're thinking of joining in on the fun!
