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!

Playing Referee



Sister is at the age where she thinks that EVERYTHING is hers. Thumper can't touch anything without Sister telling her NO! Sometimes she will take something away and give something else in it's place. The gesture is nice but she has to learn to share and not be so bossy with her sister. One of these days Thumper is gonna get big enough to defend herself and the fight will be on.

Bedtime Snuggles



I love those last few snuggles before putting her to bed. She's such a mommy's girl and I love it. Sometimes I wish she weren't so attached to me but for the most part, it's pretty dang awesome. She's my last baby and I am trying really hard to enjoy every single moment. They are not babies long enough. Time goes by too fast!

Cleaning those pearly whites



She's so independent these days. She wants to do every thing herself. Some times this can be a good thing, other times, well it's not so good. I brush her teeth first and then she does it after I do. That way, we both win!

Cooking 101



She's always wanting to help. She loves to be in the kitchen and help "shake" things. That's her way of saying "stir." Tonight she was helping with the spaghetti sauce. She got a little tickled when Bubba asked us to look at the camera. She can be such a silly girl. I get a little aggravated at her some times when she's trying to "help" but I know that one of these days she'll no longer want to. Sometimes, we take the little things for granted. I'm trying not to do that so much these days. Time goes by way too quickly!

Sick Mommy



Still not feeling well and just didn't have the energy to do much of anything tonight. Hoping that the pukies leave this household soon.

Feet



Lame and kinda out of focus but it's all this momma had today. Bubba has the pukies and mommy has a tummy ache so all we got to show today is our tootsies. Hard to believe my boys feet are bigger than mine now.

Story Time



Story time with the girls can be very challenging. Sister loves to hear the story and actually tell me what I'm reading but Thumper, well she likes to try and eat the book. Sister doesn't like it much when Thumper tries to eat her books, lol. There are lots of NO and STOP being said. Sometimes we have to give Thumper her own book and it distracts her enough to let Sister and I make it through a few pages. Fun Times!
