My 365 Project

I have never been one to like my picture taken. I've always been the one behind the camera. My mom passed away ten years ago and I have very few photos of her. Only a handful of photos of my youth exist. I have my memories and no one can ever take that but for my kids, I want lots and lots of photos. My husband laughs at me sometimes because I take so many pictures of the kids. I don't want to miss a single milestone. They grow up too fast and if you're not careful you'll miss something important. My friend Girl is an amazing photographer and she did a 365 project last year. She's an artist and was very creative with her pictures. It was inspiring to watch her from afar and admire her work. She inspired me to take photos of myself with my children. It is going to be really hard and often times very boring but I WILL take one picture a day for the next year. I WILL do this for my children. I'm not an artist but a picture a day with one of my beautiful children should be a doable task. Wish me luck!

Snacks



My girl loves her puffy snacks. I'm not even sure what you call them, you know, the ones that melt in their mouth. She could eat an entire container of those I think.

Movie Night



Movie night with my sweet boy. He got to pick the movie and he chose a classic. Friday the 13th Uncut. I know it's a horror movie and a bit gory but it is really mild compared to the horror films today. I hadn't seen it since I was about his age so it was almost like watching it for the first time. Good movie, enjoyed spending time with my boy!

Taming the Tangles



We had to comb out all of the tangles after bath time. Her hair is so thin and fine that it just mats up and if you don't get those tangles out in a hurry, you'll have a big mess. She loves to have her hair brushed. She's not always still but she like it.

Letters



She's all about letters these days. She doesn't know all of them yet but she recognizes most. She has to point them out on my shirt and talk about each one. Anything to keep from getting ready for bed. It's so awesome watching her grow into a little girl.

Our Time



Bubba and I got a little alone time after the girls went to sleep. Now that I have two babies it is hard to find time to spend with just my boy. He's an amazing kid and he rarely complains but he deserves more alone time with his mommy and I'm really trying to make that happen for him.

Bubbles



Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles! I don't typically give the girls a "bubble" bath but they both had a little congestion going on so I filled the tub with vapor bath. Thumper had never really had a "bubble" bath and she absolutely loved it. It was really difficult though because she was so excited that she couldn't stay still. I had to keep my hands on her because she kept flipping over in the water. She's mobile now and I can't contain her. Sister, well she's always loved a good bubble bath. Keeping her from jumping and splashing is a chore. Bath time with my girlies is so much fun!!!

Airplane



It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Thumper!! She loves to play airplane. She laughs and giggles the entire time. Just be careful and keep a look out for falling drool, if your not careful it'll put you're eye out, lol.
