Waterballoons. An essential summer ingredient.

Day 222

2010-08-10T20:33:00.000-04:00

They were supposed to be watching a movie.

Incase anyone wondered...

2010-08-10T09:10:00.000-04:00

What happened to the themes?

Well, the group that I have been doing this with has all but fallen apart, at least for the summer. We all got busy, got behind because of vacations and various other summer stuff. So, I've opted to just take pictures of things we're doing for the time being. When school starts again (in 2 weeks) I'm hoping to have a theme again each week.

And, I am still making up the 2-3 weeks I missed. I'll just add those in as I can. I have pictures, but having time to add them in all at once hasn't happened, so I've been adding a few at a time.

Day 221

Reading is fun!

The beaches of Sanibel Island, a great place for treasure hunting.

(A bit of info, there are piles of shells all along the shore.

This is not the collection we got, this is just a picture I snapped as we were walking off the beach.)

Future surfing babe.

Day 217

2010-08-05T20:27:00.000-04:00

Sometimes taking "simple" portraits isn't so simple.

Especially the last one, don't look too close its a tad blurry (his left shoulder...b/c I know you're looking),

and I never could quite get him to fully look at the camera.

Day 216

2010-08-04T16:02:00.002-04:00

Instead I'm moving forward and will catch up at the same time, in time.

Day 184 - Something Old

2010-07-03T10:26:00.000-04:00

I love this pic for so many reasons,

and it incorporates one of my new favorite things -

which is to take a picture of all kids included, but not necessarily together.

Day 183 - Something Old

2010-07-02T08:26:00.000-04:00

This is a picture from my first trip to the ocean after moving to Florida.

Good memory.

Day 179 - SOMETHING OLD

2010-06-28T21:18:00.001-04:00

I decided to redo a shot I've taken several times of my little boy.

There is something so peaceful, innocent and sweet about him when he sleeps.

Day 178 - SUNDAY

2010-06-27T19:10:00.001-04:00

Since this week's theme is "Old Photos Redone" I decided to go back into the archives for a Sunday pic.

This is December 2008.

Happy Father's Day to my sweetie!

Day 170

Day 169 - SHAPES (not)

2010-06-18T18:22:00.000-04:00

Bubbles, sun and water...its what summer is all about.

Day 167 - SHAPES

2010-06-16T23:37:00.000-04:00

I apologize to anyone who is or once was a follower of this blog.

I have done so good at keeping up for the first half of this year.

Now that it is summer, we've jumped in with all the typical summer activities.

I am still taking pictures, but many nights I sit and am too tired from our hours in the sun to do anything.

So please, excuse the late posts, and posts off topic. Its just the way it is. :)

Day 164 -SUNDAY

2010-06-13T21:06:00.001-04:00

From this perspective life is great.

Day 158 - PERSPECTIVES

2010-06-07T22:29:00.000-04:00

I thought the view in the mirror was a nice perspective.

Day 157 - SUNDAY

2010-06-06T22:26:00.002-04:00

I wasn't with my kids this Sunday, but I did witness this special moment.

Day 156 - MY HOME {TOWN}

2010-06-05T22:22:00.000-04:00

The look of love.

Day 155 - YOUR HOMETOWN

2010-06-04T22:17:00.007-04:00

Alright, the next few days will be off theme.

But sort of on theme as well.

My husband and I had a weekend away at his best friend's wedding.

(in our old home town which still felt like home)

The next few days will include pictures from the weekend.

Day 154 - MY HOME {TOWN}

2010-06-03T12:02:00.000-04:00

For some reasons sunrises and sunsets seem more grand where I am now.

Day 153 - MY HOME {TOWN}

2010-06-02T10:33:00.000-04:00

This is what your kids room might look like after a week of sickness.

Day 152 - MY HOME {TOWN}

2010-06-01T10:32:00.000-04:00

On this day I actually took my camera with me knowing I'd pass Orange Groves on the way to the doctor.

However, there wasn't an orange left on a tree...they were all in these big trucks. AND there was no where for me to pull over and shoot, so this is me having slowed down to 30 attempting a shot.

(Don't worry no one was behind me.)

Day 151 - MY HOME {TOWN}

2010-05-31T10:28:00.000-04:00

So I got behind with posting.

And because my family is passing along STREP and I've seen no place but the road between my house, the doctors and the pharmacy all week I'm adapting the theme to be more about my HOME than my HOME TOWN. This one is all about a Family Dinner, little brother is often the last one sitting there.

Day 150 - SUNDAY

2010-05-30T21:39:00.019-04:00

Truth be told, these MAY not have been taken on a Sunday...but hey, I'm playing catch-up.

Day 149 - EYES

2010-05-29T23:45:00.000-04:00

The look.

Day 148 - EYES

2010-05-28T23:39:00.001-04:00

I love these eyes.

Day 147 - EYES

2010-05-27T16:24:00.000-04:00

Eye-lashes are actually an obsession of mine.

Day 146 - EYES

2010-05-26T22:32:00.000-04:00

She's a super girl (see yesterday's post) and a pretty girl too.

Day 145 - EYES

2010-05-25T20:32:00.000-04:00

She's a super girl. :)

Day 144 - EYES

2010-05-24T10:23:00.000-04:00

Day 143 - SUNDAY

2010-05-23T21:51:00.000-04:00

Happy Sunday.

Day 142 - WORDS

2010-05-22T21:49:00.000-04:00

We spent the day here, so I thought I'd share.

Day 141 - WORDS

2010-05-21T23:08:00.000-04:00

Again, today I am speechless....and hey, I gave you 1000 the other day, I think I get a pass.

(Please tell me I'm not the only one who loves the sunset in black and white.)

Day 140 - WORDS

2010-05-20T22:25:00.001-04:00

Writing in the sand never gets old.

Day 139 - WORDS

2010-05-19T21:10:00.000-04:00

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Day 138 - WORDS

2010-05-18T20:08:00.000-04:00

E-T-H-A-N

...and Ethan was his name-O!

Day 137 - WORDS

2010-05-17T14:05:00.002-04:00

Somethings need no words.

Day 136 - Sunday

2010-05-16T16:40:00.000-04:00

A belated Mother's Day photo?

It was taken today, so I guess its not a Mother's Day photo...but we should have done it last week.

But, maybe I'll hand the camera off to my hubby more often so I can be in some shots.

Happy Sunday to all!

Day 135 - PEACE

2010-05-15T20:37:00.000-04:00

Peace is knowing that childhood still exists....even if she is growing up.

Day 134 - PEACE

2010-05-14T20:33:00.003-04:00

Peace is....a clean house with the afternoon sun shining in.

Day 133 - PEACE

2010-05-13T16:36:00.000-04:00

“Peace is not something you wish for;

It's something you make,

Something you do,

Something you are,

And something you give away.”

Robert Fulghum

2010-05-11T23:26:00.000-04:00

I find peace when I can find beauty all around.

Day 130 - Peace

2010-05-10T16:18:00.000-04:00

I find peace playing with my kids, even in the most simple of things.

Their smiles and laughter make me forget whatever troubles I may have.

Day 129 - SUNDAY

2010-05-09T20:38:00.002-04:00

So glad for these three who make me a Mommy.

Happy Mother's Day to all.

Day 128 - A Week in My Life

2010-05-08T23:33:00.000-04:00

A little late in posting because we spent another day here.

Not a "typical" week, but we've done it quite a lot lately.

It is a perk of living in Florida.

Day 127 - A Week in My Life

2010-05-07T16:14:00.000-04:00

Lots of baths are taken every week at my house.

Day 126 - A Week in My Life

2010-05-06T23:16:00.000-04:00

Today we watched our Kinergartner in the end of year show.

First grade here she comes.

Day 125 - A Week in My Life

2010-05-05T21:11:00.000-04:00

This is my middle child.

This is what she does when her big sister is at school and her younger brother is taking a nap.

She has quite the imagination, so she keeps herself pretty busy during these times.

This week she's into...

...stacking cups.

She stacks them all sorts of ways.

She's even created a "building" she says is a replica of one of the buildings in Japan at Epcot.

Then after school I promised to take all three kids swimming.

We all got in the water.

Ten minutes later, it started pouring.

Great.

Day 124 - A Week in My Life

2010-05-04T20:14:00.000-04:00

It was such a steamy day that when I took my camera out...it instantly fogged up.

Although, I think it worked for this photo (above).

I think it shows you, it was HUMID!

So today in our life?

We washed the car.

And what resulted was lots of pictures.

So today, I have more than one to share.

Day 123 - A Week in My Life

2010-05-03T17:14:00.000-04:00

Nothing is more "normal" here than snacks after school and a little TV.

It happens everyday here, around 3:30pm.
