Leap Year Day

And what would be better than a picture of a leap. Easier said than taken, this is the only 1 of the 50 that was worth playing with. I tried to take them with the remote myself.... I would leap and then it would take, I would wait to leap and it missed my feet totally, it would catch me in mid-air and it was so blurry you couldn't tell they were feet.

Lots of different patterns going on here, not sure what I think about all of them together... the rug, the couch, the socks (note - I love these socks they are SmartWools), the footstool behind me, the carpet, my jeans.

Thursdays with El

Thursdays I pick up El from Daycare and it's our time. The bad thing is by Thursday she's tuckered out and usually falls asleep on the way home and get crabby when I wake her. Here she is all snuggled on the couch. Of course I couldn't resist playing with the picture in Photoshop

Reflection

Today's picture was taken by John while trying to figure out my wireless remote. I really like the reflection on the table and knew right away it was going to be the POTD.

This picture is summed up with one of two words and I wasn’t sure which one to use.

SIMPLE or REFLECTION

I chose Reflection but it really is the simple things that we should reflect on.

My Grandma

Self Portrait Tuesday....

Someone gets a little jealous after I get home from work and greeted John with a kiss first and not her. Elly crawls in between our legs and pushes as hard as she can and chants "My Grandma". You can tell by the look on her face that she's not very happy.

Played around with one of the photos abit and I loved the look so I had to add another one. She turns around and pushes with her back on Grandpa until we are so far apart that she wins. I thinks it's really cute but Elly doesn't, it's serious stuff to her.

Now that I look at it in here I cropped it against all photographers rules.... never crop off someone at the wrist, knees, or NECK.

colors

Boring night for picture taking. I picked up these color cards a long time ago, still haven't painted anything yet.

Wisconsin

This is what I found today when I went to unload the washer... and yes there was more than one shirt in there. A little upside down but pretty amazing. I love my new washer and dryer, I wash everything unless it's stapled or nailed down, and it smells so clean. Not sure why I waited so long to replace my old ones. I love the picture advertisement below the port window so I haven't removed it yet, I'm gonna take a picture like that some day. And it is correct you can wash 12 pair of adult jeans in one load, I've done it and they still come out clean.

Here's a closer look inside the port window.

My furniture find

John and I went livingroom furniture shopping last Saturday. We can't decide what we want but I found this treasure and I had to have it. Not sure where it will end up in the house for sure but for right now it's found a home in the diningroom. What's not to love, peeling green paint, curved legs, glass knobs, solid structure and only $45.

Next thing to go is that tulip border.... what was I thinking 12 years ago? I already painted the wallpaper on the lower half now I'll have to tear it all down and start over... hummm more color choices.
