August 24: Day 229

I can't stop photographing Mr. Ladykiller Eyes and can't tell you how many photos I have of my son's big blue eyes and outrageously long eyelashes. It's not fair I tell you. Not fair!

August 3: Day 208

Our family took a walk on this lovely evening and I brought my camera along in hopes of finding a subject during the "golden hour" of sunlight. As luck would have it I found a field of dandelions just begging for me photograph them! I love photographing dandelions I just don't like them in my yard. Thank goodness I can enjoy them from a couple blocks away.

August 2: Day 207

I'd love to share the original photo but my husband vetoed it because he didn't like how he looked. So with a little Photoshop magic I came up with this version because unfortunately, these were the only photos I took on August 2nd. The cropped/cloned out version is looking down our desks from my workspace to his. You can barely see the preschool project snowman from Day 23 in the foreground.

August 1: Day 206

We celebrated Grace's birthday with a princess party today. My Mom brought this gorgeous paper princess crown for Grace to wear and the little stinker would only wear it for a few pictures and that was it. It's so pretty! The party was a success and in the next week I hope to blog about it on the family blog. I have to show off the cardboard castle I dreamed up and constructed...it will knock your socks off.
