Day #58- Bedtime Banshees

Sometimes trying to get three 4yr olds to bed can be a challenge :D Many nights before bedtime- they get wound up and especially love to wrestle and climb/jump/bounce all over their daddy! This photo is an example of them literally running circles around him. I'm still on a no-flash rule- so available light only (overhead ceiling fan) thus the harsh shadows

Day #57- Tulips

My weekly challenge photo! :) This weeks challenge was to use as high an ISO as possible- and share it SOOC (no noiseware, etc) I've been on a high ISO kick anyway- to really push myself- so this challenge was right up my alley! These are some tulips I bought yesterday to help remember that spring WILL arrive....eventually :) CWB and Manual Exposure. SOOC except a slight contrast tweak for web viewing. I'm impressed with it- especially for an ISO 0f 1600!

Day #56- Snow Fun?!

We got about a foot of snow and the kids had a blast outside....until The Girl took a face plant courtesy of her brothers :) Thankfully Daddy was there to comfort her! :D

Playing Catch Up

Whew- I've been good about taking pictures- but slow on the uploading front. So today I post-dated/added the last week of pics. :o)

Thanks for looking and leaving all your comments- I really appreciate them! I love visiting my fellow 365ers blogs as well- you all inspire me! For those 365ers using typepad- I've been visiting- but for some reason I get error messages when I try to leave a comment for you! Hopefully it'll be fixed shortly :(

Day #55- Garage Light


These I guess could fullfill the high ISO challenge for this week. We were coming in from outside and I noticed the light in the garage- so had to stop Boy #2 and snap a pic.
I switched to BBF a few weeks ago- and it's helped! I definately like it better.
I'm not sure which I like better- in color or b+w..... thoughts?

Day #54- Head and Toes


Pieces of Boy #1. He has this fabulous cowlick on the back of his head that swirls his hair around and when it's too long makes it all stand up :)

His feet- I just love kid feet! He always lays with his feet up when he watches TV.

Day #42- Sick Girl

The Girl got hit today with the dreaded virus sweeping our house. :(

She's the best sick patient though- in that she loves to lay in our bed and watch movies/tv :)

Day #40 + 41 (Sick)


I've been sick in the bad the past 48hrs- so no photos. This is a birth annoucement I did a few weeks ago for my g/f. The the 2nd is a sticker I made for her to use as return address labels :)
I think this is my favorite of all the birth announcement cards I've done for people. I just love how it turned out. They were printed on metallic paper and it was SO sharp.
