Project 365 - Day 19 and 20

Well, at least I am still taking my pictures every day even if they aren't getting uploaded!!


Project 365 - Day 20 - 100 Days of School!

All of the Kindergarten classes are celebrating the 100th day of school. Each child was assigned a number to decorate and they are going to hang all 100 numbers on the wall. Abigail had the number 17 to decorate. We drew out several different ideas and this is the one we ended up picking. Two number people standing out in the snow!! I thought it turned out super cute even if I have to say so myself!!

Project 365 - Day 19 - Birthday Party!

I am kinda cheating on Tuesday's picture! Abigail's birthday party is coming up and she picked out these invitations. They are made to look like tickets. The Jonas Brothers are her favorite right now and she is doing her whole party in them! We just got the invites yesterday so we thought we would share them!

Project 365 - Day 18 - Kisses for Everyone!

Abigail has gotten used to my picture a day by now. The last few days she has asked me what picture I am going to take for today. Well tonight she asked and I replied that I don't know yet. She then asked if she could take the picture for me. She is actually a pretty good little photographer and I didn't have a plan for today, so I agreed. I thought she would want to take a picture of one of her toys. Nope. She said she wanted to take a picture of mommy and daddy kissing like when we got married.





So here is our picture kissing taken by my almost six year old daughter. While we were taking the picture our dog Maggie came into the room. Maggie LOVES to give kisses. If you make the kissy sound while kissing someone, she goes crazy trying to join in.

So, we had to take another picture with the three of us kissing. Then as we are about to tuck her into bed for the night, she says she has an idea. Ready for her idea??

She wanted a picture of ALL of us kissing!! I was holding the camera while Chris pushed the button. I was making some weird face, and I'm not quite sure what Chris was doing but I just LOVE this picture!! Abigail was cracking up and Maggie was having a blast kissing everyone!

Project 365 - Day 17

Sunday, January 17, 2010 - Day 17

Abigail got a Glo Doodle for Christmas and it just got opened up yesterday! I think that means she got too much stuff for Christmas!! Anyway, she had so much fun playing with it. It is actually a pretty fun little toy. We all took a turn drawing or tracing something on it and then turning out the lights to see how it looked!!

Project 365 - Day 16

The kids went with their Nana to the local college's basketball game today. Here is Abigail all dressed in blue supporting her team and ready to go!!

Project 365 - Day 14 and 15

I fell asleep on the couch again last night. I am sure I am starting to sound like a broken record. I definitely have a trend going on here! Long story short, here are my pictures for the last two days.


January 15, 2010 - Day 15

Chris came with me to Gymboree today to pick up the stuff I had on hold. I was showing him the hats and he thought this one would fit him. I think it was a size 2-4 years!! LOL




January 14, 2010 - Day 14 - Abigail's Shop

Abigail decided to open up her own shop. She had it set up so nicely. I was very impressed! She had a section for toys, gift cards, food, and dog stuff. It was SO cute!! Unfortunately the battery on my camera was dead so I didn't get a picture of the original store. This pic is after it the battery had charged for a little bit and by then we had already shopped in her store!

Project 365 - Day 12 and 13

Well, I did it again! I have felt sick all week long and I just can't get it together. I am ready for this week to be over! I fell asleep on the couch last night and again woke up around 3 in the morning!! Once again I took my picture on Tuesday, just didn't get to upload it.


Day 13 - Beads Galore!!
Abigail got 3 jewelry making sets for Christmas. We decided to open them all up and put them in one container. We had beads everywhere! I am sure she will have lots of fun making necklaces and bracelets for the both of us!



Day 12 - Fancy Nancy
Abigail got this Fancy Nancy doll for Christmas. She loves her!! She really enjoys reading the books and is enjoying spending time with Fancy Nancy! She has been sleeping with her, dancing with her, and talking to her. Fancy Nancy has even helped her with her homework!!

Project 365 - Day 10 and 11

So, I finally missed a day! I knew it was bound to happen soon. I ended up falling asleep in the chair and by the time I woke up it was 2 o'clock in the morning. Oh well! I did take my picture, just didn't get to upload it! So here is two days in one.
Here is today's pic! Abigail is in a modeling phase. Every time I go to take her picture she does some form of this pose. I have no idea where she learned how to do this, but it is so cute!!

Sunday, January 10, 2010 -Meet our new friend!

Bradford, one of our foster puppies, left us Saturday for his forever home. We didn't want Woody to be lonely, so she brought over Freeman. Freeman is one of Woody's litter mates. The problem is he looks EXACTLY like Woody!! The only difference is that Woody has a little bit of white on his chest, which you can't see unless he is sitting still. This is our first meeting with Freeman. I have no idea which one is Woody and which one is Freeman!

Project 365 - Day 9

Both of the kids stayed at their grandparents house last night and didn't come home until supper time. After eating they decided to play Mario and Sonic at the Olympics on the Wii. It was a pretty lazy day around here today. Tomorrow I have to get some work done!!

Project 365 - Day 8 - Saying Goodbye

This is Abigail with one of our current foster puppies, Bradford. He has finally been adopted and will be leaving us soon. He was supposed to be leaving today so we brought him in so Abigail could say goodbye. She has such a hard time when the puppies leave for their forever homes. Bradford has been with us for almost two months, so it is especially hard this time. He was so excited to see her and gave her lots of kisses!! I truly think my daughter will grow up to work with animals in some way. She loves them so much!!

Project 365 - Day 7 - Snow Day!!

It snowed today!! We were predicted 1-2 inches, and we ended up with maybe half an inch. Schools were cancelled last night at around 7:00 pm and it didn't even start snowing until 11:30 am! My kids were just as excited with our half an inch as they would have been if we had two inches!! We rarely see snow here, so they take what they can get. It was SO cold that they couldn't stay out too long, but they sure enjoyed the time they did spend in the snow. Most of their snow time consisted of throwing snowballs at each other. Unfortunately this is the best picture I was able to get. I must have been so cold I was shaking because all the other pictures were blurry! Abigail is about to nail Kyle with her snowball!! School has already been cancelled for tomorrow - due to the snow freezing into ice on the side streets. Yes, I live in the south and we just can't handle the snow/ice!!

Project 365 - Day 6

It's Girl Scout cookie time!! This is Abigail's first year as a Girl Scout. She is SO excited. Cookie sales started on Christmas Eve and we had our first meeting since sales started today. I came up with this goal chart so the girls could track their sales. She is a Daisy, so using the Daisy flower was perfect! I had set their goal at 50 boxes each, so the stem of the Daisy has 50 boxes on it. The inside of the Daisy says 'Daisy Values' and each petal represents one of the values. Every time they sell a box, they color in another box on their flower. She is only 3 boxes away from her goal!! Yay!! Don't forget to buy your cookies!!

Project 365 - Day 5

Today was the first day back to school after Christmas/Winter break. We were all way too lazy while the kids were out. We did a lot of - NOTHING!! This includes messing up our sleeping schedules. Needless to say my daughter didn't get much sleep last night, and I didn't either. I help out in the Art class at her school two days a week with the Kindergarten classes and ran into her teacher this morning. I informed her that Abigail would probally be dragging today, and she replied with "oh, she is!". Whoops!! When she got of school we had a snack, gave all the dogs a treat, read a book, and then CRASHED!! Today's picture shows the aftermath of the first day back to school! Here is Abigail with her daddy tapped out in the living room chair. I fell asleep on the couch, and woke up to the two of them snuggled up together.

Project 365 - Day 4

Today is the last day of Christmas/Winter Break. We thought we would end it with a trip to Chuck E. Cheese! The whole family went and we had a great time. We don't always have a great time on family outings - my son is a teenager through and through. I am definitely getting my payback for what I put my mom through! He mostly did his own thing while we were there, but he was happy so we were too! Today's picture is of my daughter Abigail. We were playing the game where you shoot water at a target and the line gets higher and higher. I won the first round and she won the second round. She was concentrating so hard in this pic!!

Project 365 - Day 3

Bath time!! My dog Maggie was WAY over due for a bath! She doesn't really enjoy baths. Actually, I think they scare her. She usually just sits there waiting patiently for it to be over, while having this really pitiful look on her face the whole time. When bath time is over she runs around the house like a mad woman! She may not like baths, but she does like to be clean!!

Project 365 - Day 2

Brrr, it's cold outside! It is currently 19 degrees here. I'm sure that is nothing to some people, but pretty cold for here in the south! My dad has made all my dogs majorly nice dog houses, all equipped with heaters. He brought the last one over tonight for the foster puppies. While my dad and my husband were setting it up, I grabbed my camera in hopes of finding the perfect picture for the day. I walked out onto my deck and saw exactly what I wanted to capture. This picture is a close-up of my swimming pool. It is FROZEN!! The black background is the cover over the pool and if you look close enough you can see leaves. I think this picture does a pretty good job of showing how cold it is here!!

Project 365 - Day 1

Today is the start of my Project 365. I will be taking and posting a new picture every day for 365 days! This project sounds really awesome, so I am hoping to be able to keep up! I am definitely not the photographer that the other girls doing this project are so I apologize for that in advance! Christmas is my favorite time of the year. Since the new year is here, it is time to take down the Christmas decorations. So, I thought I would take this picture of an ornament on my tree. My daughter, Abigail, started Kindergarten this year. She made this ornament at school and it has her thumbprint as the reindeer. She was so PROUD of it and of course I LOVED it! Tomorrow it will be packed away for another year, but now I can look at it all year long!
