After the praying, reading, and singing I told the girls they needed to go to sleep and I walked out of their room. When I left it was just the two of them in their bed.

When I came back a few hours later to check on them I found this.

The Logic of a 4 Year Old

The weather here has been warm and sunny for the last week and yesterday we decided to have a picnic in our backyard. We were laying outside and Lily just HAD TO HAVE her sunglasses because, "it's hot out here". I went inside with her to help her look for them. We searched everywhere and could not find them. She had two conclusions as to what could have happened to them. She very matter of factually said, "Maybe something ate them." and then, "Maybe they are magic." Both seemed pretty logical, I thought. But do not worry, they are not in anyone or anything's belly, nor did they magically disappear. We found them an hour or so later.

bad phone pic... but still cute

At the duck pond. My camera battery died so I had to resort to using my phone.

Happy Halloween!

this is why I love my dad

I love my dad because he sends us text messages like this:

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Assignment 4- LIGHT

This weeks assignment was Light as a Subject. The first one is Michael's shadow; he was holding a water bottle. The second is Lily's dress..... again. . I had not intended on using it for my assignment, but for some reason I stuck it up in the window while I was taking pictures for my other post, and I thought it looked cool with the light coming through and making it almost transparent. I took a picture and it turned into an assignment:)

A girl in class commented that she thought it would bee cooler if I had used an old wooden hanger to give the photo a more vintage feel. I think it would have been super cool if I could have done that. Too bad I don't have any. I don't even have wire hangers anymore because I used them all to unclog the drains at our old apartment!
