Project 365: Day 5

So, I'm going to cheat a little bit here.  This isn't a picture I took, but rather a couple of pictures of the kiddos that were taken by a co-worker who likes to dabble in photography.  I think they came out pretty good, especially the ones of the child that was cooperative.  One child, small, male, just over a year old, had a complete meltdown on photo day.  It explains why there's only about 4 pictures of him, and one of them, he's crying.

Anyway, here are my two favorites:

I think I've figured out the ONLY solution to the technical difficulties I've been having lately.  The cord to my iPhone is janky and my DSLR is way to huge to carry around; it's just not practical.  So, the solution is to go out and buy a simple point and shoot.  One that I can toss into my purse and use whenever I please.

Now it's just time to convince the husband ; )

Project 365: Technical Difficulties

I know this may seem like an excuse, but my cable for my iPhone won't connect to the laptop for me to upload days 3 and 4!

Since I can't post the pictures at this moment, let me tell you, they are AWESOME!

Day three was a picture of Owen running away from Wrigley when Wrigley was in the kitchen last night.  It's basically a dark shot, with Wrigley's head and a blur of Owen's head.

Day four is a shot today of Owen playing at the doctor's office.  Before the complete meltdown.

Which brings me to taking kiddos to the doctor.  So I tell my boss I need to come in late to take the boy to the Dr. for a check up.  You know the game telephone?  Keep that in mind...

I walk into work, and everyone comes up to me very concerned, wanting to know if my kid is ok and maybe I should take the whole day...When I tell them it's just a check up, I get this face of oh, ok.  They seem almost embarrased for asking.

It's kind of nice to know that people are genuinely concerned with things that happen in my life, I guess.

Today was a nightmare day though, it seems as if maybe I should have taken the day off.  I had so much to do, and so much I forgot to do and then to top it off, the person who is supposed to be helping me know how to do things, seems to not like me?  It's a strange and strained relationship it seems.

On the plus side, I walked to Subway for lunch.  It was nice to get out of the office and get fresh air, I might take a walk around the block every day.  It also helps with the whole be fit and healthy thing.

Here's to looking on the bright side!

Project 365: Day 3

As I lay in bed trying to get the boy asleep I have unsuccessfully tried to update this blog on my phone.

Picture 3 will be uploaded tomorrow.

Project 365: Already a failure?

So to the three of you that read this blog and my husband, Project 365 has already been a failure...or has it?

Granted, I didn't post a picture and blog yesterday, but I did take a picture.  I also took a picture today, so it's only a half failure : )

There's really no excuse for not posting yesterday, so I won't try to come up with one.  Instead, let's get started:

Day 1

This is what the house has been looking like for the past 3-4 weeks.  Giant tree.  GIANT.  I asked the husband and daughter to get a nice modest tree.  We've been buying baby trees the last few years, so I knew they wanted a tall tree.  I never expected this giant tree.  It was so full.  I was told, it was because we had a decent year and we should go all out.  What the husband and daughter failed to realize was that we have a 1 year old in the house, who like to grab ornaments.  You can kind of see it in this picture, but the tree is only decorated from the middle on up.  There are no ornaments on the bottom half of the tree and barely any lights.  So, we have this giant tree and can't even use it to its fullest.

A couple of things, in case you were wondering:  Husband is green, I'm red, daughter is purple, son is blue.  Also, I think World's Wildest Police Chases was on TV.

Now, onto today, Day 2:

Just like that, it's all gone.  It was my day to sleep in and when I woke up it was all gone.  It's not like I woke up at noon, I woke up at 9AM.  It was all put away.  I was kind of sad it was gone, but then I was so delighted!  No more baby eating pine needles, no more squeezing by to get to part of the couch, no more 1/4 of my living room gone.  And the best part?  I didn't have to deal with putting any of it away!

So now, I will put forth a better effort on Project 365.

Know this, if I don't post everyday, I will be taking pictures!
