4x12: January

After reading about this project on the Scrapbook Lady I just knew this had to be one of my new goals for 2011! It is really difficult to get pictures of the kids, but all four of us in one frame?! Where's my wand?....Ridiculous! I made my plans well known to the crew and reminded them several days in a row that I would be rounding them up for a family picture. The picture we took isn't the one I had in mind, but it's still pretty cool. And it documents our family-day trip to the Air Zoo in Kalamazoo this week!



This photo is a good shot of us, but I took an even better picture of The Girl. She wanted to goof around a bit and I was feeling game so I hunkered down on the floor with my little point-and-shoot camera and we had some fun taking goofy pictures. This picture is my favorite :)


Doesn't she look like she's floating?! Just brilliant! :D

Project 365: Week 2

WEEK #2

Jan. 3, 2010  (Sunday) We spent a couple hours at Downtown Disney. The kids went to play DDR at Disney Quest so Chad and I had some time to check things out.

Jan. 4, 2010 (Monday)  I had a bunch of scraps from making my new dayplanner calendar, and instead of throwing them away I made this cute bookmark. Way better than the tag I was using!

Jan. 5, 2010 (Tuesday) Chad's scarf. It's gonna take awhile to finish this one.

Jan. 6, 2010 (Wednesday)  I went to the park to get some fresh air and play around. Those are my feet. Yes, I'm wearing socks. It was really, really cold out there. Even in the sun.

Jan. 7, 2010 (Thursday) G.I.Joe and his buddies infiltrated the book stacks and took down a few notes for Math class. I think the fractions scared them.

Jan. 8, 2010 (Friday) Who doesn't love CiCi's? Come on, you know you do!

Jan. 9, 2010 (Saturday) That be ICE in that chair! Orlando doesn't see weather like this very often. I wish we weren't seeing it now. The bitterly cold wind makes it even worse. Not even my thickest sweater can hold out this cold. It's ridiculous! I have a picture of the ice sicles hanging off my truck too, but this one is my picture for the day.  What a way to round out the week! sheesh...

Snow in Orlando?!

They said it could happen. And this morning they turned out to be right! Here is the photographic proof of the current weather phenomenon:



This is a pile of ice pellets! Ice pellets! In Orlando, Florida! And it was only 34 degrees this morning! Now, personally, I think that if it's going to be that cold, and we're going to have some kind of frozen precipitation, then it should be the fluffy variety, and there should be enough of it to go sledding! This little tidbit is nothing more than an accident waiting to happen...which I'm sure we had plenty of this morning...

...how ridiculous...
