Outside Looking In - Day 38

Okay, back on the daily theme train.  Today's is "Glass" so I decided to hunt for a kaleidoscope to try to take a picture through it.  Well, I couldn't find it and honestly didn't feel like looking too hard.  Ethan, being the wonderful kid he is, came through for me by crawling up to the picture window in our living room and giving me the idea of taking a photo of him looking through the glass at me.  Max just bettered it by being the nosy dog that he is.

Today has been fairly productive.  Doing laundry, vacuumed everywhere and stream cleaned the back half of the house.  The front half will have to wait until my small crawler goes to bed.  I was going to wash my car, but now it's looking like it is about to rain, so oh well on that.

Sploosh and Splash!! Day 37

Happy Labor Day!  Just too be contrary we had a very labor-free day of relaxing, photo editing yesterday's wedding and most fun of all - BATH TIME!!!  Ethan has loved the water since day one.  We  take our time, splash a lot and have nothing but fun!!!

Just A Perfect Day - Day 36

I had over 450 photos yesterday to choose from, not bad for 3 hours worth of wedding photography.  With all that material I decided not to stick with the theme of "favorite electronic" for today.  While I also do the more traditional showing of the wedding rings on the bride's bouquet I like this version better when the wedding dress has such pretty detail work on it.

The bride and groom were tons of fun, the wedding and reception all took place in the sister of the bride's backyard which was indescribably beautiful so I have to cheat and include another photo.

This background is just about the same as the ceremony's since the cake was about 10 ft to the right of where the vows were exchanged.  Anyway, the weather was beautiful and I even got a photo of the bride and groom with her parent's holding shotguns on either side of them.  Too darn funny, even though it wasn't a real shotgun wedding it made for a great photo.

I Love My Car - Day 35

Today's theme is your car which made me mucho happy because I love my car.  It was my "fun car for before I have kids" that has turned into my "still a fun car even with kids" but will soon be my "old car that was too small for 3 kids" sometime before January 2011.  It is a 2002 Mini Cooper. Note the sexy, curvaceous front end that is no longer available on new models just because the curves tend to drag people under the car if they're hit.  Picky, picky, picky!! 
My husband will be glad of today's theme because it meant I washed the car, something that used to be done twice a week but is now a bi-weekly event if not monthly since baby arrived.  Besides being amazing to drive this is also one of the safest cars out there.  It is built like a tank, tons of airbags, great visibility and by far the best performing car in the snow.   We have had over 38,000 miles of fun together in the just over 3 years I have owned it and I know no other car will ever take it's place in my heart.  That being said - anyone wanna buy it?  Just kidding, you can't have it.......yet!!!

Hardly At Work - Day 34

Today's theme was  a picture of where you work.  My jobs are stay at home Mom and wedding photographer.  Since I don't have a wedding until this Sunday I had to improvise.  Even though this is a photo of me taking a picture of the sunset while holding my son I actually took the photo too via tripod and 10 second delay.  That pretty much covers it!

Today was a pretty darn good day. Chad had the day off and he actually didn't go in to work at all.  A few phone calls, some online work here and there, but by far better than we've had it in literally months!!!  I woke up in the middle of the night last night and heard rain falling and sent out a quick prayer for more rain.  It was partly because we haven't had any in a couple of weeks, but mostly because if it rained all day Chad could skip mowing the lawn and actually relax.  The weather half cooperated, it rained late morning and early afternoon, but got absolutely gorgeous mid-afternoon on.  So he got some relaxing time in and still got the yard mowed.  Fair enough for me and not bad for the prayers of a heathen!!

Outdoor Fruit Drawer- Day 33

The theme was a picture of your fridge, but I neither felt like cleaning it up nor photo shopping an image of Gozer the Gozerian from Ghostbusters onto the interior.  So instead here is a picture of some goodies from my outdoor fruit and veggie storage, a.k.a. my yard.  After 2 years of forgetting and losing all the grapes to the birds I finally happened to find them ripe and not completely eaten. Much to my joy I discovered they are Concord grapes, my absolute, complete and utter favorite kind!!!  I was just telling my Mom how I was craving those specific grapes yesterday!!!  There weren't bushels but I got a big bowlful and still have some on the vines to fight the birds for.

Sweet Tooth - Day 32

Theme of the day is your favorite candy.  I'm not really the one with a sweet tooth in my house, I'd rather grab a piece of fruit than a candy bar.  My husband however takes sweet tooth to a new level.  We were kinda low on stocked candy, but here is an glimpse of what was laying around.  I will admit that the Twizzlers and Snickers bar are mine.  Pregnancy does give me a taste for chocolate and I always have loved Twizzlers.
