Photo Challenge

I know. Another one?!

Yeah, yeah. I'm the queen of starting things and not finishing them (just ask Kevin). I've figured out, though, that I'm much better when I have some accountability and this time, my friend Jennifer asked me to do this with her. So hopefully that will get me to follow through. And hey...it's day six and I've done them ALL so far. That counts for something.

Day 1: Today.
We spent New Years Day taking down the Christmas decorations. I even made Kevin go take down part of our outside lights, even though it was frigidly cold. At least he looks good doing it!

Day 2: Something new.
I actually had it in my head that day two's prompt was resolutions. Since one of my goals is to play with my kids more, I took all these pictures of the girls playing "Littlest Pet Shop" in their new hooded towels (and then I played with them - don't worry :)). Oh well...I guess the towels are new. Kinda counts, right?

Day 3: Heart.

Day 4: The view from here.
Ew. It was SO COLD that day (it's been frigid for awhile now, but that one was particularly bad), and we didn't step foot out of the house. So I settled for catching this shot from my deck. And practically froze my fingers off doing it, too. Nice beautiful view of...Cache Valley smog. Ick.

Day 5: Movement.
This one was kind of fun. I dug out my tripod and set my shutter speed to slow way down. Then I turned on some music and told the girls to dance their little hearts out. I got lots of blurry streaks but my favorites turned out to be when one girl would hold still while the other twirled. Downside? You get a full view of my messy counter tops. Hmm...

Day 6: Mine.
Yep, proud to call these two munchkins "mine!"

My goal next week is to get some photos outside of my house somehow. The temperatures are going to stick in the below-zero range, but hopefully I'll figure something out. The mall, perhaps? ;)
