Day 232-Day 238

Well I think this might have been one of my worst 365 weeks to date. I took picture everyday, but just barely.. and often just with my phone. But I have been spending the days editing pictures from 3 different photo shoots, so I think by the time I was done with those my creative photo brain was just done. But though they might not be beautiful shots, they still are my shots and they tell my life. So with that great intro, here is this last weeks pictures.

You have to look carefully, but see all of that bed to the left of Eric...
yes, I am there on the bed to the right of him.
My proof that he really does hog the bed.
And yes he might have gotten a little kick shortly after this picture.

You can read about how it went here.

Day 224
Thursday, August 12thThis evil working of the devil is called a two-bite cupcake.
And yes, it really is two bites... just enough to make you want more.
And since they are just two bites, they are so easy to sneak when the kids aren't watching.
Darn two-bites

Horrible picture... but look at Lucas' floor.
All picked up. And I didn't do it.

He went up to his room, worked for about 45 minutes and did it all one his own.
Yes, this needed to be documented.

Day 215
