I'm Behind, I know

I've had a little issue with discipline in posting my pictures this year. It never helps that my computer chooses when I wants to let me post stuff to the blog and when it just wants to sit and "think about it" for minutes on end.

I'm working on it and really am taking photos this year. I appreciate that you stopped by for a visit even though my photos are behind and now apparently dated incorrectly on these most recent ones. I'll have to work on correcting that...

Photo Fail ~ 90/365


I completely forgot to take a picture today. So instead I chose this photo that (sort of) still represented our day because it rained so much from 1:00 to 5:00 we decided not to go to track practice. It was actually much worse today than when I took this photo!

Double Scoop Night ~ 86/365


Purchase a double scoop and get a free waffle cone. Yes, please!

After track practice and dinner, it's the perfect end to the night!

Rainbow in the Sky ~ 85/365


It poured today and we weren't sure there would be track practice. But then it cleared up just long enough, so off we went. I was walking my laps (to help me get in shape, so I can run with Bethany) and spotted the rainbow in the sky. I love the view across the field of the kids practicing and the clouds and the rainbow.

Love That Smell ~ 84/365


I love, love, LOVE when the orange blossoms are present on the trees. Such a pleasant smell!

Sneaking in to Read ~ 83/365


She snuck into my room to read her book this afternoon, all cozied in the bed and reading by the light coming in through the curtain.

After the Run ~ 82/365

So her track coach wants her to run the 800 since she really can't compete with the sprinters. This means two whole laps around the track and a lot more conditioning. She balked at first, even refusing to do it. But then I talked to her and she agreed that if I started running with her on the days there is no practice to help her that she would give it a try.

Let's just say she's way more in shape than I am!

Along our chosen path we saw ducks with fluffy heads, turkeys, flowers in bloom, airplanes take off and land and a bicyclist who needed to pull his pants up a bit! :)


This is her after the run, while we enjoyed the quiet of the pond, the geese, the crane who caught a crawdad, and Bethany feeding snails to the ducks.

She's Got Talent! ~ 81/365


She did great! A few squeaks here and there towards the end when she got tired, but otherwise great for such a challenging song.

I'm sad the picture quality of this is not better. I was recording it and taking pics at the same time, so thus I got this grainy shot.

The Look ~ 79/365



I'm fairly convinced he didn't really want his picture taken today...

Just a Few More Days... ~ 77/365


Just a few more days until the talent show. Gotta push to get the song just right!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! ~ 76/365


This picture makes me smile. We don't really celebrate St. Patty's except to wear green. The kids surprised me the this morning asking about the hats I bought from the dollar bin at Target a few years back. I had them in a storage container and was thankfully able to find them quickly, so a family picture was a must. Unfortunately I had to set the camera in a bush, use the timer and hope for the best. This photo is very edited! (and I'm standing on tip toes because I felt like I was hidden behind the hats)
