Ramblings...

So today I braved the crowds at the Old Navy Summer Sale looking for some maternity pants... Turns out that the Old Navy near us does not have a maternity section, however I did find a few pairs of maternity pants in the clearance racks so perhaps they had a maternity section but got rid of it? I picked up two pairs of khakis in different colors, just finished hemming those. Also grabbed a pair of lightweight "roll-up" pants that convert from regular length to capri length. Since I'm feeling lazy I'll probably just wear them at capri length so I don't have to do any more hemming. I've got them on right now and I have to admit that they're 100 times more comfy than the capris I was wearing earlier today- the ones that don't button anymore..

I also picked up a few things for the baby which was the first time I've bought any clothing for him but I just couldn't resist (and it was all on sale- yay!) I got him a super cute short-sleeved body suit with a dachshund stitched on it (had to get that of course!), a three-pack of long-sleeved onesies with little sheep on them, and a cute t-shirt. Paul is into cars, specifically his Pontiac GTO, and has been talking about getting a supercharger for it for years now. Unfortunately superchargers cost $3000 and he's now most likely going to trade his car in for something that we can actually fit a car seat into so I got him (and the baby) a cute t-shirt that has a muscle car on it and says "Supercharged." I told him it was a substitute for a real super charger which he thought it was funny...

So that's been the day so far.. Now we're debating pizza or subs for dinner and it sounds like we might be ordering both... (I'm married to a bottomless pit in case any of you weren't aware of that fact!)

What Winter Looks Like...

(Welcome to anyone arriving here from Blue Zebra Photography !) (Oh!  And this is post # 500 on Ye Olde Blogge.  Wow!) I mentioned earlier that I'm participating in two different photography projects this year with other members of the Bloom Forum .   The second project I'm participating in are monthly photos that relate to a certain theme or word. For January, the theme is "Winter." We've had an odd winter so far here in Massachusetts.  Hardly any snow at all and over the weekend it was actually in the 50's which is pretty unusual.  We did have a brief snowstorm last week though and while LP and Eliza were cozied up on the couch together I wandered around and took a few photos of the scene.  I love how cozy it is in our house when it's snowy out and wanted to capture some images that conveyed that...

February: What Shadow Looks Like

  (Welcome if you’re coming from Suzanne O'Brien Studio in Northern California!) This month’s group photography theme was “shadow.”  I’ll admit, I had a bit of a hard time with this one.  We’re in the middle of the February doldrums around these parts, and while the sun does shine from time to time it’s cold and blustery and damp most days.  It was tough to get motivated and creative about this, but that’s the whole point of the challenge! The kids and I were in the living room one afternoon and LP was lining his toys up on the windowsill.  The (frigid) afternoon sun was pouring in and I realized that there was a sort of lightbox effect.   I enlisted LP’s help in photographing some of his favorite toys (and one of Eliza’s) so he was the “stylist” for this little photo shoot.  I think if we ever have a dedicated play room I might frame some of these photos for the walls!

10 on 10: January

This year I've decided to participate in two monthly photography projects along with some of the other members of Bloom , a photography forum I'm part of.   The first of these projects is a 10 on 10:   Ten photos taken during one day or event, documenting that day or event, and posted on the tenth of the month.   Everyone's entries are posted in a blog circle- you can follow the links from blog to blog and see everyone's contribution. (And WELCOME! to any of you who might have come here from Rachel McCalley Photography !)   I decided to use the 10 on 10 in January to document a typical day now that I'm a full-time stay at home mom.  A few caveats:  I neglected to take any photos of the morning which was spent at the pediatrician as it was a rather negative experience (more on that in another upcoming post).  I also neglected to notice that my camera was set on jpeg instead of raw (perhaps a child was messing with my settings?  Am not sure wha...
