This did not come out as I had hoped

 I found myself sitting on the floor of Costco with a 55 lb bag of dog food on me today as well. 

I was hoping to get both babies in the shot. Maybe I need a different lens or a new perspective. Finally getting over this cold.

We will try again another day, hopefully with the boy. 

He went back to school today so it was just the babies, Grandma and I.

Another day...

I had a hard time choosing today again. We had superhero costumes and monsters running about but, I liked little missy and her hair tie bracelet. She has been so funny lately. Love her.

Kamikaze kate got a little Minnie Mouse doll for Christmas, which is already missing many pieces. I crocheted her a little Minnie mouse purse to put her stuff in! I finished it today.

 I'm using a 50mm lens for this challenge and it has been a challenge. I just can't get far enough away from my kids fast enough. They are just getting faster and faster. I'm getting some exercise at the same time. :) I'm glad my kids want to be with me in every sense of the word but it makes getting those candid shots pretty tough. I think I am going to have to wear camo and sneak around on the floor. I would like the prime 35mm but it's like $1400 so, yeah. Not happening. I can only get better doing this challenge!

I stayed home sick from church so the babies stayed with me. I was feeling pretty bad about it, it was supposed to be my first day of my actual calling and my sister is the nursery leader and so I didn't want to let her down, but then I opened the freezer and found half a bag of Cheetos crammed in there. It reaffirmed that I had no business being around other people. :) Here's hoping this cold goes away quickly.

I had a hard time choosing which picture to use. In my stuffy cold head haze I actually managed to take several pictures. The hard part? Choosing which will represent today. The best part of today was not the persistent headache or the power struggles. It was by far my time spent in my son's closet, which for all intents and purposes, was an airplane he was piloting to the temple lights. I got to go along. The light was low but I still liked how this one came out. I love that this boy has such a great imagination and it is so fun to witness it bloom.

Here are the runners up.

 Art work?

Doodle has to make sure all the other cousins know he's her papa too.  She's not possessive at all.

A pear for lucky people...

It's been a weird day. This morning was wonderful I thought it was going to be sunshine and gumdrops but then it progressively deteriorated. This one is in that quasi nap stage, you just never really know, but lack of sleep makes him destructive and grumpy. Funny story, he went with me to the grocery store today. He calls Fry's "the madhouse" because we went before Christmas one day and it was insanely busy and I called it a madhouse so now he is convinced that it is a madhouse and all the people in it are "lucky" (yucky) I didn't say that, by the by he just deduced. Anyway, we were in the produce department and he asked, "The people here lucky?" with a disgusted look on his face. I assured him they were not and then decided I am grateful that he can't say the word yucky yet. Tender mercies. Also, while I was at the store I found myself very grateful that I can provide healthy delicious food for my kids, what a blessing. He picked out this pear and it was juicy and delicious and I am glad I could buy it for him. Yay food.

If his bite looks a little forced it's because it totally is. I can't say he never cooperates.

This is moonpie's favorite game. He gives the best hugs and the most slobbery kisses.
