Day 40

Jackson had a sleepover last night.

This morning we decided to make cinnamon roll waffles.  I first saw this idea on Pinterest, and we love cinnamon rolls this way now...no more gooey middle!

They are so YUMMY!

Day 39

Today the electrician came back for the third time to help us with some of our lighting and electrical problems that we inherited with the house.

The outdoor lighting is now in working order, and I am very happy with it.

Day 38

It is pouring down rain and 40 degrees outside.

That about sums up the kind of week I have had.

A little depressing and a lot uninspiring.

I've not Instagrammed one photo.  I have not yet participated in this month's theme for my photography class.  Blah Blah Blah!

I'm not complaining one bit; I just haven't really felt like using my camera this week.

When everyone I got home, I threw out this question...

"Who wants to let me take their photo?"

Emma quickly volunteered so I jumped on the opportunity.

This was taken at about 4:45pm...very poor natural light.

Springtime

Summertime

Hot humid weather...

WHERE ARE YOU???

These wintertime lips cannot take much more!

Day 36

This afternoon, I photographed some jewelry for a dear friend who sells beautiful, designer jewelry.

This is one of my favorites.

Day 35

My boys play airsoft with other boys in the neighborhood.

They are always wanting a new airsoft gun.

I have never posted pictures of this before...not sure how I feel about photos of them with their guns.

Brendan bought a new gun with his chore money.

It arrived today!  He is happy.

I rarely post pictures of him so I am going to share these.

Day 34

Super Bowl XLVII is tonight.

The Baltimore Ravens are playing the San Francisco 49'ers.

I don't really care who wins.

Emma and I decided we would wear our Cowboys gear to the party instead!!!

Day 33

We got home from the Great Wolf Lodge pretty early.  The kids were ready to leave, and that's all we needed to hear.

So this afternoon, JC and I decided to start prepping the dining room to be painted.

I enlisted JC to help me sand over the edges of the stripes.

Day 32

Today we picked all three up a little early and headed to the Great Wolf Lodge!

Emma decided a while back that she wanted to come to GWL instead of having a birthday party.

We spent about 5 hours in the water park, and currently, all 3 are spent!


It has been a great day though, and we are looking forward to a couple of hours of water play in the morning!

Day 31

Not to be outdone by her older brother...

Emma will start outdoor soccer this spring.  She wore her own warm-up gear today!

Can't wait!  Hope she doesn't make anyone cry!
