Project Life: March 7-18

The past two weeks have flown by in a blur. I've got to make an effort to slow down.



March 7: M LOVES my glasses

M loves to wear my glasses and pretend to do "mama" things. She'll read my books, play on the computer, wash dishes, etc, when she's got them on.

March 8: Pet love Mocha and Gretel love each other so much! We'll find them playing and cuddling together all the time. They even get in trouble together! Gretel loves to unroll the toilet paper roll. If she's having trouble getting it started, Mocha will nudge it with her nose!

March 9: A girl and Gretel M is a great mother for Gretel. It kind of stinks being a "grandma" at 32, but it's so much fun to hear M say, "Mama loves you, Gretel-girl."

March 10: No fear! Gretel has fallen in the bathtub three times now and is still not intimidated by the tub! We can't keep her out of the bathroom or away from the tub. I thought cats were not suppsed to like water?!

March 11 and 12: No photo for March 11. Have some material from an important meeting to include. March 12, keeping private for my family.

March 13: Harlem Globetrotter's Game We took the youth to the Harlem Globetrotter's Game today. The weather was FREEZING, but the game was AWESOME. We all had so much fun!

March 14: Sneaky Kitty

Gretel has a strange fascination with the laptop. It must feel warm to her paws because we can't keep her off of it.

March 15: Decorating for Bunko

M and I decorated the house for Bunko today. She loved helping me take down the curtains and hanging St. Patrick's Day flags instead.

March 16: Bunko!

Green boa on the chandelier. Shepherd's Pie and Pineapple Lime Salad for dinner. Everyone seemed to have fun!

March 17: Happy St. Patrick's Day!

March 18:

We rewarded ourselves for making it through the week with a quick trip to Moe's. It was deliciouos and filling and just what we needed!

Project Life: March 6

March 6: Outside, finally!
The weather today was glorious. M was feeling much, much better. After swining for at least 30 minutes, she decided to have a concert with lots of stick banging, drum thumping, and vocal screeching. I'm sure the neighbors were thankful when I forced her to come inside for dinner.

Project Life: March 1-5

I just can not believe March is already here! I'm noticing a few things about my photography:

1.) I apparently love dark shots with lots of black! I'm so ready for spring.

2.) I also apparently love grainy shots! I need to work on some technique to figure this one out. Love the picture of M reading before bed, but it was rather dim in her room, so I cranked up the ISO and the pictures are still super grainy. I'm using it because I love it, but I'll have to play around to figure this one out.

March 1: Shameless Love
We are shameless pet owners. We talk about our pets as if they were our children. We could not love Gretel anymore. Funny Gretel things: she's gotten in the bathtub with one of us TWICE and she's not bothered by it at all. She climbs on everything! She loves Mocha and H the most.

March 2: Happy Birthday, Dr. Suess! Read Across America day. This year, each class made a Dr. Suess inspired hat. My kindergarten class used a fishing style hat and sewed One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish stuff around it. I took a picture with each child wearing it and will give it to them at the end of the year.

March 3: Reading before bed M is really into reading a bedtime story. Sometimes she wants someone to read to her and sometimes she wants to read to one of us. Tonight she wanted to look at her Hide and Seek book, which she's done hundreds of times.

March 4: Winter Jam 2010 I love this picture of the lead singer of Newsboys descending in the air. I love the spotlight on the crowd with the shadow on them. We went to Winter Jam tonight, which is a Christian concert with a variety of artists. We took a few friends with us and had an incredible time. We all agreed that the Newsboys were our favorite performers.

March 5: Happy Birthday, KK!

M is sick today, so I had to cancel my Girl's Night here at the house. H cancelled his plans, as well. I was sad to cancel my original plans, but enjoyed going to dinner to celebrate my friend KK, who had a birthday this week. We went to one of our favorite restaurants, Bonefish Grill. Delicious!
