It's Monday

The weekend is now over. I need to go make my coffee. Little S woke up at 6:30 beating on her door. Did I mention that I'm not a morning person? The roofers are back, and I'm sure the nailing is going to drive me batty. I have to get to Home Depot to return a screen door that doesn't fit my house. (I should know better by now to realize that my house is not a "standard" size in terms of finding what I need). Then it's off to Costco. Really I never understood how you could go to Costco once a week - now I know. It is the best place to shop for me and 3 girls. For one, there are snacks. Two, when I ask them to make a choice there are only 2 or 3 as opposed to normal grocery stores that have like 20. Decision making is hardest for M. She wants one of everything and after 5 minutes of standing there asking her to make a decision, I just start to walk away and she makes a decision quickly while whining, "wait for me!"

Then I have to get it all put away and kids fed and S down for her nap before I have a conference call to make. Who knows how long that is going to last. It could be 30 minutes or even up to an hour and a half. All the while nailing and thumping going on over my head.

So, that's my day. A day in the life of...

You Capture - DOF

Image
I loved this challenge.  I've been striving to find "the" depth of field picture that just speaks to me.  Luckily I had lots of opportunity this past weekend to find the pictures I wanted to.  On Saturday I boarded a bus to California's Amador County wine country and visited 4 different wineries with a friend. These were so bright and beautiful and simple. The colors!! Perfection! I took about 20 pictures of this door trying to get this perspective.  I love this one.  This was another one that was may favorite of about 20.   I think it's the burst of orange.   I can't wait to see all the beautiful pictures everyone else is going to post over at Beth's.

You Capture - Best Shot

Image
I suppose after two weeks of getting assignments and pictures that I *really* liked, it was time for me to struggle.  I wasn't taking any pictures that just spoke  to me.  But then again, it took me a long time to start taking pictures that I really liked. But I do have a couple that I think were my best for the week.  Hey, I've got an idea! Let me share them with you! This was taken on a hike the two older girls and I took last week.   And then we had our first harvest. One lone strawberry.  There are many more growing.  We are trying to keep the birds from nibbling on them before we get a chance to pick them.  Check out what other's thought was their best shot over at Beth's.

You Capture - Faces

Beth? Are you out there?  Because I loved this challenge.so.much.   I think I captured a lot of love here too.  Oh, how I love her sweet face! And check out the eyelashes!! I thought only boys had eyelashes like that! (Do you like the bedhead too?) He is one of my most favorite people!  This is my honey, my rock, my money-maker, the love of my life! (Yes, sappy. But after more than 15 years together I still like him!) This is the other "man" in my life.  This is Bear.   He is sweet and stubborn and very jealous when it comes to sharing me with T.   This is "my" girl (the middle child).  She is the only one who looks enough like me for it to be obvious that she's my kid. She is so sweet and full of generosity and love.  Did you see the letter she wrote me the other day? No?  Go here and see.   And last, but certainly not least.  Me.  A sweaty mess after running 5+ miles wearing my awesome Team In Training training T-shirt.  This is the face a happy runner.   (F
