Whirlwind week, soooo sorry I am so behind!

Ok, ok, I was gone all last weekend and then I had a crazy week here, so I did not have time to sit down at the computer and post anything. I've still been snapping shots here and there, but the computer time just wasn't there. So, without further ado...here's what I've been up to.

I took this one for the 365 theme for last week "circles"


A self portrait



Cassidy by the Withlacoochie river...we spent the weekend with my inlaws in Northern Florida.


My niece



We bought a new car, which occupied a ton of time this week. We love it and are so happy to be rid of our old minivan which had become a constant headache! Here it is:

I'm out of town, so no pictures right now!

I just wanted to check in here because I'm out of town and can't post pictures, but I'm still taking them! I'll put a bunch up on Sunday night. Thanks for looking, and thank you so much for the comments!

Several shots today

I took a little bit of time today to take some pictures while I was at my parents' house today.

Here's one of my sister. I promised her I wouldn't post the one of her pretending to be a horse. ;-P


A pretty flower that was blooming.


Cassidy


And some cool seed pods that Cassidy calls "eyeballs".

Cassidy is feeling a bit better

And she let me take her picture today!!! Her Nonnie sent her this hat and scarves and I convinced her that Nonnie would like a picture of her wearing them. Worked like a charm, HA!

It's amazing how much easier it is to take pictures of willing subjects!


I love her eyelashes...they are awesome. Poor Chloe has light blonde lashes, so they don't photograph as well.


Another in color, although this one is screaming "vintage" to me...I think it's that single lock of hair curling around her face. I'll have to play and see what I come up with.

Kids still sick, so here's a tomato

Only one today. A tomato that is growing in our very pathetic garden.

I hate cold and flu season!

The kids and I keep getting sick. Cassidy's got it this time. Poor thing has a terrible, terrible cough, runny nose, and fever. Now Chloe is starting to get it too. That means I'm next. Darnit! So, as much as I would love to go somewhere interesting and take pictures, we are homebound this weekend. I am getting pretty bored with all the pictures of Chloe sitting in my front yard, but I don't have many options at home. I don't have much natural light inside and my house is tiny, so I'm very limited with what I can do here. Once everyone is well, we will venture out to some different places and I'll try to get some more interesting shots. For now, here are a few I took today when we went outside to get some fresh air. Cassidy was feeling pretty yucky, but she actually let me take a couple pictures of her, amazingly enough. Here's one where she gave me a cute smile. Her face and nose are so red from her being sick and wiping her runny nose constantly, that I had to make it B&W.



And I just fell in love with this shot. I know that the focus landed on her lips instead of her eyelashes, but I don't even care. I love it. If she ever allows me to take her picture again, I'm going to try to replicate this one, only get the focus right, and then I will blow it up because I love it. :-)



Oh, and of course I have to throw in the obligatory picture of Chloe in the grass! I couldn't get the crop quite right without amputating the tips of her toes. Oh well, it's not like I don't have 5,000 other shots just like this!

The only picture I took today...don't laugh.

I literally only took one picture today, and this is it. This was out of a Taco Bell kid's meal and Cassidy was so proud of it so I took a quick picture of it for her and then I never got the camera out again, so this is the image of the day.
