We went to Ikea today and came home with their igloo tent. First Natalie and daddy enjoyed some playtime in the tent. Later, Ian decided he would play around with it, too. They both loved it. Daddy and I were pretty happy with the purchase.
After her ballet class, Natalie got to play in the snow for a little while.
We were out and about all day beginning with an appointment with my eye doctor and ending with lots of shopping. In between, we went to Olive Garden, and I managed to snap this shot (the only time I had the camera out today!). As luck would have it, today's prompt for the Joy of Love photography workshop was to capture us "going out." I didn't manage to get in the picture this time--maybe next time!

The prompt for the workshop today was supposed to be a self-portrait. Today was just not the day for that! So I decided to try and capture our rings with those lovely flowers. I could not decide on which processing to choose!
Natalie and I spent the better part of the day finishing the Valentines for her preschool classmates. I had taken her photo more than a week ago so we just did the assembly today for the envelopes and bookmarks. It was a fun little project!
Capture your loved one's dream--that was today's prompt for the Joy of Love workshop. And, no, my two-year-old does not dream of driving a Corvette. His daddy does! My hubby is all about the Corvette--he sighs when he sees one. He drooled incessantly at the National Corvette Museum. And, he's not giving up hope that one day when he's retired, he'll own a Corvette to keep in the driveway.
I've been in full mommy-mode these past few days--dealing with a sick kiddo, battling a cold, juggling errands, shopping--even managed to include an in-person delivery of photos! I was too exhausted last night to write a blog post with yesterday's photos! The picture of my hubby reading was my way of capturing one of his hobbies as part of the Joy of Love workshop assignment. I did a last minute capture of the flower and vase just to play with textures. I'm still learning how to post-process using textures but really enjoyed fiddling with them. It felt as blissful to me as I'm sure reading felt to my hubby!
Today, we got home so late I ran up against the "what-the-heck am I going to photograph today?" question that I'm sure my fellow Project 365-mates face a lot. So this is why I'm posting a photo of my counter, with all the stuff I have yet to put away in the pantry!
Today's assignment from the Joy of Love workshop was to capture a "gift" from the heart. I treasure this necklace, which my hubby gave to me, for all that it symbolizes.
I wish I had something more exciting to post today. It was just that kind of winter day--grey, wet, snowy, slushy. Once again I found myself with two sleeping children in the mini-van, so I drove around for some drive-by clickin' (you know, the kind you do without getting out of the car!). Here's a nice flock of Canadian geese just hanging out. Next time, I'll bring my big zoom lens instead of the prime.
Today's photography assignment (Joy of Love workshop) was to capture that which we love to hate about our loved one. So how about those terrible twos?! My son has turned up the volume on his tantrums lately. So when he's not crying or demanding or making messes, he's also sneaking upstairs. Oh, the joy!
Today's assignment was to capture "what they wear." I thought the shoes in the front entrance (mostly winter shoes) would be appropriate. Now that I see it, it just makes me wish for warm weather. That groundhog better be right!!!!
Today's photo assignment in the Joy of Love workshop is showing our loved one in some type of "Then and Now" photo. I showed my daughter these tiny hand-made sandals she wore as a baby. She tried putting them on her feet. She barely got her big toe in the sandal! My little munchkin will be four next month.
It's been a fun day that started with the phone call that officially declared it a Snow Day for my daughter's school. I took photos of the snow accumulation and of my hubby shoveling. I did a gag self-portrait for a Clickin' Moms contest. See below! And, I completed my day 2 assignment of the Joy of Love workshop. Here's my daughter trying to ignore mommy by staring at the TV. That's so her!
It's the first day of February, and the first day of a month-long photography workshop called the Joy of Love (WilletteDesigns.com). Our first assignment was to photograph someone we love doing "what they do." In all fairness, my hubby does not spend a lot of time commanding the remote! But today was his day off, so he is doing what he does when he relaxes!
