Week 9 - Project 365

Ok, so I'll be honest - I didn't take a picture everyday this week. I slacked! But I have taken enough pictures this year that haven't been posted in my project yet, so I will use some of those. The reason for my slacking was we spent two days at Grandma's house having some R&R while David was out of town. It was so great to be taken care of and enjoy the company of my mother-in-law. I forgot my camera, so I didn't get pictures those days...oops!
Sunday - Carmen playing the drums on the Wii with Aunt Carrie playing guitar

Monday - The girls like to use the bananas as phones to talk to each other. It's pretty funny.

Tuesday - We got some kites to fly here in windy Mtn. House. Carmen and Sariah had a great time running all over the court with their kites flying high.

Aliza wasn't so into the kite thing. She only cared about her snack in the baggie.

Wednesday - I was called downstairs by Carmen this day to find to her on the counter washing the dishes!!!! She had washed a whole sink full and dried them off and wanted me to put them away. I was astounded by her responsibility and her willingness to help a tired mommy. I guess she recognized that the sink was overflowing and someone had to do something about it soon. So, they weren't perfectly clean, but I put them away nonetheless. I didn't want to discourage her from her great efforts.

Thursday - so everyweek I have my OB dr appointments on thursday. It's has become Aliza and mine's little secret to get donuts while Carmen is at school. So before my appointment this day, we stopped at this little donut shop for our weekly donut and juice. Aliza just eats the sprinkles off the top and leaves the rest.

Friday - Carmen has suddenly gained confidence on her bike. She got it for Christmas and really care for it until a few weeks ago. She rode her bike all the way to Central Park from our house. That's around 1/2 mile one way (a guess). I was so proud of her making it the whole way! Of course she wants to stop a million times to look at various different things, but it's still fun.

Saturday - Carmen is starting to paint and draw pictures of real things, rather than just scribbles. This was a rainbow over a pond full of fish. And to the side is my three legged cat I had growing up. I had just told her about my cat a few days before.

And this is a product image David needed for work. He has had me do several product images that are used on their website. It's fun to take pictures that aren't of people sometimes.
