Day 278

A little evening sun...

Now that daylight savings time has ended, that beautiful sunset light is out that much earlier. SO warm and inviting, I just love the way her hair picks it up. Just one of my middle angel.

Stop the presses...

They said it couldn't be done. They said it would never happen. But I am here to profess success...

Day 276

A new talent...

Such a beautiful weekend and I wasn't completely booked so I got to spend some time outside with this handsome little guy who has learned...
to wink! Now he winks at me all the time.
He also loves to pose. This would be the longest post in history if I posted all the poses from today. Such a ham.
We had Miss R for a bit this weekend which delights L. Hard to believe looking at this pic that L is our olive-skinned child!

Day 275

Tools of the trade...

Nope, not photography, domestic engineering. Kris the photographer has taken a personal day and Kris the mom came to work instead. My house is disgraceful and I can't concentrate on any of my photography work in this kind of chaos. So to my clients waiting to see your proofs, you will thank me for it. I promise!
I LOVE this thing. So much so that this is my second one. My kitchen floors had gotten sticky, folks. Yes...STICKY!
No laughing, I have color-coded hangers. It makes getting the right clothes in the right rooms so much easier. Pink for M; white for L; and blue for C.
Ahhh, laundry. I am drowning in laundry. Clean. Dirty. It's EVERYWHERE!

Day 274

Hungry...

T & I went to Sam's today and picked up an enormous pork loin which he couldn't wait to cook up some of it tonight. You know what they say about a watched kettle (or conventional oven in this case).
And of course, the saying was true. It took almost twice as long to cook as the recipe said it would. Making matter worse, I had cut C off from his snacks so he was starving!
Was it worth the wait? You bet! So tender and juicy, the kids gobbled it up in record time. I keep telling T that he can take over dinner duty any time he wants!

Day 273

Trick or treat...


I have noticed that L has been absent from my blog lately so here are two of her! This costume was so cute, but piling all that hair to fit into the wig required some additional engineering.
Such a cutie pie.
C got to wear his costume three times this year and I really thought he was going to sleep in it. It even had headlights and made race car noises when you pushed a button near the waist.
We put black lights around the door again this year.
And I bought another set of pumpkin lights to round out the set. All the trick-or-treaters were impressed with our decorating so T gave himself a pat on the pack for a job well done!

I picked up this pumpkin a couple weeks ago when I was out with M at a pumpkin patch for a shoot. I refused to let them carve it until last night so we didn't end up with a rotten pumpkin on our front porch. As it was, the pumpkin had gone a bit beyond it's prime so T wasn't able to roast the seeds like he usually does. It didn't smell very nice either so T put two of my pumpkin pie candles in it and all of a sudden, the front porch smelled delicious!

No pic of M tonight as it had already gotten a tad too dark and she wasn't all that up for a pic in her costume anyway. Ugh...pre-teens! lol.

Day 272

Unlikely hero...

Who knew beneath the highlighted hair and Abercrombie tees hid a football fan? It all started with the superbowl. We watched the Colts beat the Bears and her interest in Peyton Manning was piqued.
Next came his hosting Saturday Night Live with Carrie Underwood and then the commercials, "Pep Talks with Peyton Manning" and that was it, a hero was born...errr, marketed. She credits those commercials with teaching her the right way to throw a football. "Wipe the windshield, elbow your brother, and flick the booger." Words to live by.
How ironic is it that above all the clothes from Limited Too, Justice, Abercrombie and Hollister this jersey is the most expensive shirt in her closet? Scary.
