You Capture Sunshine & Spring

I hope you don't mind if I put two weeks into one post. 

 We definitely found some sun last week. 

 And sun means that you should eat ice cream!

We must have had a lot of wind last night.

You Capture - Easter

I always loved finding eggs as a kids, but the 4th & 5th graders in our family had other ideas.

You Capture - White

All of the photography challenges have been passing me by lately.  They are the only things that seem to keep me blogging.  Can you believe these first two photos were taken only four days apart?

Last Saturday we stopped here.  That's a silhouette in front of the big screen. 

We saw a lot of cool costumes including this Coca-Cola drinking angel from Dr. Who.

Macro Mystery Monday

I don't know how much of a mystery these will be, but I took them for the Project MCP weekly challenge.

If you're wondering why I chose these items, well, they were sitting on my desk.  :-)

Dr. Suess, the CFO and eggs

Oooh, this sounds like some kind of weird sci-fi movie, but I'm just catching you up on the girls' school activities.  Last week they celebrated Dr. Seuss' Birthday with a Fox in Socks theme.  I discovered that I don't own any interesting or crazy socks, but luckily the kids do.

The 5th grade has been studying eggs and little sister also wanted to have a "baby" egg.  We even made her a skirt.  

They had to build something for an egg to be dropped of the roof of the school.  Parachutes really help and the egg survived.

This week Kevin and I got to help the 5th graders on their field trip to JA Biztown.  The kids get to run the businesses and Kyla was the CFO of the town newspaper,

 which meant a lot of desk work.  

This year she made it to the Animal Shelter after her second paycheck and adopted a puppy before they were all gone.  

Little Miss J - 14 months

I'm so excited because I did my first official attempt at portraits with my  new flash.   It's a good thing she is little, because my living room makes a tiny studio.  We also did  a few outside too - and isn't she so cute!  So many great expressions and she can sing.  

 

You Capture - Peach

 A carnation left over from Valentine's Day.

Instead of sepia, we'll call this peach tone.

I couldn't resist a photo from last summer's vacation in South Carolina.
