I'm Still Here

I know I've gone AWOL for a bit. I've been super duper busy. I've done a few photo shoots (and definitely learned some things). I did the Great Urban Race in DC with my friend Christy. I compiled a slideshow of images for my daughter's preschool class.  Hopefully soon I can resume blogging and posting my POTDs. I *have* at least been taking them.

Swiper, no swiping!

A & K are pretending to be Dora and Swiper. They're taking turns being Swiper and hiding stuff (markers) around the house and then the other, Dora, has to find it. It's very cute. K2 loves Dora too so she's trying to join them.

I took this with my camera phone while the girls helped me deliver our HOA newsletter to the houses on my street.  (On a side note, I put together that newsletter - including the masthead.)

Flower Workshop

Today I called my husband and made a pitch for a photography workshop that I'd like to attend.

Him: "What is it for?"
Me: "I don't know. There's like ten people and he shows you how to take pictures of flowers and stuff."
Him: "Uh, why would you do that? You already know how to take pictures of flowers. But if you want to take a workshop, fine. Whatever you want."

And he wasn't being even being sarcastic. He was sincerely mystified as to why I thought I needed to learn more about taking pictures of flowers...because he thinks I already do a great job.

And that is why you rock, Husband!

Mama in the Rain

A brought this home from preschool. She informed me that she was supposed to paint a picture of me - just me. So this is me in the rain, when it's kind of dark, on the driveway, checking to see whether or not it's okay for the kids to come out. Of course, that's exactly what it looks like. I likey.

I left O and K2 watching TV while I went to move the wet laundry to the dryer and throw a new load in the washer. When I returned downstairs I gasped. How can someone so little cause so much damage in the span of five minutes?!

I notice that she did bring a broom into the room. Perhaps she intended to clean up after herself?
