"Sun"~February 08, 2012
Now, I know this would seem obvious for me. I do love me some sunshine. :) And I went through several possibilities...I have a shirt Robert bought me that would be perfect for this...I even finished a painting of suns recently. In the end, I like being unpredictable. So I went with hairy balls instead. *shrugs*
(Mom, you may want to just jump over this one.)
Harry Baals ~ You can look him up on Wikipedia. He was Fort Wayne's Mayor, Post Master General and a number of other things. We have several Memorials for him, including this street. You do pronounce his name, "Balls," and we have a lot of fun with that. However, this street sign has been stolen so often, they've changed the name to what you see here.
He immediately had this idea.
"Skittles looks like the sun when he's all curled up. I'll just wait till he's sleeping, take the picture, load it on the DS and make sun beams!"
I love it! Very creative.

Throughout the whole day, he kept saying it wasn't the right time. He needed to wait for the sun to peek out. That's not always easy on a February day in Indiana.

Skittles laying the sun! (Is anyone really surprised here?)

I like this one the best. It's like it's the view from the cage I keep him in. LOL
But, I'm really impressed. It's a cool picture.
I amended this for the kids to be "A Door." Any door and it took them each about 30 seconds to take their picture. lol
To be honest, our front door looks horrible. It's 1 of the painting projects that's had to wait til this summer. So, I went with the Little People.
"Mine Craft" is a game computer game Ben was able to buy with his Christmas money. He built this door and it was a "no brainer" for him.
This is my favorite door. I love how he saw this, and that he got down on the floor real close.
The kid's bedroom door. Grace turned it into a Haunted House last week. :) She was/is very proud.
I think this is the bathroom door.
"Self Portrait"~February 10, 2012
I had an idea of what I wanted to do. Something close up. Just a piece of me.
Holy Moses! This was harder than I thought. lol LOTS of pictures. Lots of BAD pictures, blurry pictures, "I'm not even IN the picture" pictures.
I instructed the kids to take 2 pictures. A smile picture and a silly picture. (They used the timer on the camera.)

Don't like this picture so much. But I find it SO bad, it's good. lol
"Makes You Happy"~February 11, 2012
Grace & I had a "Girl Date" today. I gave her a mani/pedi, and we watched a movie on my bed while braiding hair and putting on makeup. We took lots of pictures because all of it made us happy. I let her choose and she picked my favorite too. She melted my heart. Out of all the pictures of cats and painted toes, etc, she picked one of just her and me. :)

Sam went shopping with Grandma and Papa today. He was VERY insistent THIS was what made him happy! lol
Ben~9yo
So far, you'd never know we had another cat.
This is Fiddlesticks. He's so black, even in person he tends to look like a piece of cloth on the floor. :)
Jacob~7yo
This did not surprise me. His happy place is drumming. Where ever he is. Drumsticks make it better, but they are not always needed. He drums with his hands, his pencils, anything and everything ALL THE TIME. This kid was born to drum!
Sometimes, you catch something on a picture you didn't intend to, but it's brilliant! lol This is the case here and it DEFINITELY made me happy! Watch out! He's a Man Eater!
