{Project 365}: January 2009

January 23

This is the view I have going to the kids school every day. It was kind of cloudy and
grey today since it rained on & off.

Layout for Week 3. I messed up Week 2's...I used the wrong picture
for one of the days. At least I noticed it now, it's fixed :)

I've had the worst "almost" migraine on and off all day long. I finally started to feel better when Tom brought me home a Coke coupled with a couple of Tylenol.

I was a couple days behind in posting my pics. I'm current now...Alex was sick on Tuesday, then it was Wednesday which meant 4 trips to the school that day. Before I knew it I was exhausted each night. But I took the pictures, I'm just going to continue posting when it's convenient. I'll be around to comment on the past few days soon :)

January 21

Playing together. Love it when the sounds are happy laughter and shrieks of joy instead of fighting.

January 20

My little Oreo face. He was irritated with me that I was asking
him to keep his hands away from his face. He just wanted
to be cleaned up. lol

January 19

My photo, a bit early for today. Today's was a hard choice, a shot of Tommy eating the bacon, egg & cheese biscuit sandwiches we made for breakfast, this shot of Rocky lounging on Tom's legs, or Anthony getting a nuzzle from Rocky. I let Anthony make the decision for today, and he chose this one of Rocky. I love how you can see his little toes sticking out from under Tom's leg.

January 18

Nothing exciting from me today. We spent the day lazying around the house. I finally got all these video games listed on eBay tonight. I also worked on layouts for the first 2 weeks...they aren't finished, I don't know what elements or papers I'll use. I figured getting the photos in place now along with the journaling was important, I can always go back later to add some finishing touches. I used templates from Amy Pearson (available free by joining Scrapbookgraphics.com in the Project 365 forum)

First things first...the photo of the day.

Cutting the grass in the middle of January?
A nice day to enjoy outside, even with no shirt, shorts and flip flops on. :)

I received a blog award from Michele! Thanks so much Michele!! I'm loving this project so far, I'm really enjoying looking at other people's photos and getting ideas for my own shots. It's also giving me a wonderful opportunity to work on my post-processing.

We need to list 5 things we are addicted to. Ok, here it goes...

1. My camera...most definitely...Canon 40D.

2. My DVR...love it.

3. Food...especially now since I'm trying to quit smoking...

4. Anything to do with my computer...I don't think I go a day without being on it.

5. I have to admit, I'm a bit addicted to my hubby too ;)

Now my Five people to receive this award are...

1. Kathy

2. Meg

3. Petra

4. Beth

This is an ABC album I printed out for Anthony to help him with his writing & his sight words. If interested you can find it at The Hybrid Kid. All we need to do is run back to Wal-Mart or Staples to get more badge holders, I didn't have enough in my stash. lol

January 15

I think I'm almost caught up on commenting...hopefully I'll get it all caught up over the weekend. Thank you all for all your wonderful comments!

Tommy reading after school today.

January 14

Bathtime...Rocky whines and cries so much that he can't get in there with them.

January 13

Coldstone ice cream just before the new season of American Idol starts. We love to sit around and watch the audition episodes together.
* I will get around to everyone's blog tonight or tomorrow to comment.*

January 12

DH and I are excited that 24 is back on. We forgot though that we hadn't seen the rest of season 6, so we started re-watching it tonight. Jack Bauer is my {hero}. :)

January 11

These are my newest shoe purchase (in Sept). I love these shoes. The heel is a bit higher than I normally like (or am comfortable with) but they look awesome. I wish I had more occasions to dress up. lol

January 10

I took my photo for yesterday, but didn't get it uploaded because we spent time together since DH got called in to stand duty for someone today. This is Alex, watching Ninja Warrior, bouncing off the ottoman with dad's hat on, squirt gun and remote in hand. lol

January 9

Our morning consisted of taking Tommy to school, then taking Anthony to the dentist to get his cavity filled. We tried to get a picture of it, but he wouldn't keep still long enough - you can kind of see the blue tint on his teeth.

January 8

Tommy was trying to do a head/handstand, so Tom was trying to help him figure it out. All 4 boys were in the living room with their butts in the air. Unfortunately this was taken on auto mode, just after I realized that I have a problem with my flash...and the lighting in my living room that requires me to use a flash. I think a ceiling fan/light fixture is in our future. lol This was the best shot of them all, Alex was really trying to do it, he was really close to getting it.
