Week 48: Smile

Hello, can you believe there are only 4 more weeks left! I am so proud of myself for making it the whole year! I know, it isn't over just yet, but this will be the first year I complete, unless I get really sick or something, which I hope doesn't happen!

So, anyway, this week's challenge was smile. I have three kids, and I know I would use one. I choose my oldest because he is at the age he is losing teeth! He already got his two bottom front teeth in, but the top front are missing. Right now it is perfect timing. It reminds me of the song "All I Want for Christmas, is my Two Front Teeth"!!!!    ;)

We are headed out for a ride on the Polar Express this weekend, so in next weeks post, I hope to have some pictures of that to share. Next week's challenge is orange. Wonder if there will be any orange on the Polar Express!!!!

Week 47: Chocolate

Hello! So, I have had a busy week this week. Not only is it Thanksgiving week here in the U.S., but all my kids (and husband) have birthdays this month! Not only that, Yule (Christmas, Hanukkah, the rest of the Winter holidays...) is right around the corner. This is the time of year my head starts to spin!!! But, It is exciting all at the same time!

Anyway, on to the photos! Week 47 inspired my to experiment. I love baking almost as much as I love photography. That being said, I wanted to make something new using chocolate. I made fudge for the first time a week ago for my husbands birthday. This week I found a recipe for mousse! So, last night, the kids and I made chocolate mousse for the first time. I thought it was a failure, but after some problem solving, I got it! I do wish I had some fancy serving bowls for this picture though. It may not look beautiful, but it sure tasted great!

Next week is a smile. Hope everyone celebrating Thanksgiving has a great one!!

Weeks 44, 45 and 46

Hello there, sorry it has been a while. I have for you, three weekly challenge photos. It has been pretty crazy around here lately, as it always is this time of year! With four birthdays this month, Thanksgiving coming up, the passing of my beloved feline friend, etc..... That all being said, I have lacked creativity on these two weeks. But, I did not want to give up on the challenge!

Week 44 was couples. I had this brilliant idea of using two of my kids for this. I pictured in my head a black and white of a boy and girl holding hands, outside, and from the back. Didn't happen..... instead, being Halloween week and all, this was what I got!

I did get another cute photo of a kid "couple" This girl, C, lives in our neighborhood. She comes over here, along with other neighborhood kids, to play with my oldest. This day, I happened to be out with the little kids the same time the big kids were here. C gladly invited Adrian in on their game of Hide and Seek. Or coarse, Adrian loved this, and followed C around the whole time she was here. Here they are counting together!!!

  

Week 45 was lace. this was tough, since I really don't have anything lace. These two photos are of the only two lace things in my home. The first is actually from my wedding. Can you guess what it is?

 The second is a close up of a curtain in my kitchen.

Lastly, week 46. This week was red, white and blue. And what better way to show that, then a photo of "Old Glory"

Next week is Chocolate. This one, I will put more effort into! Then, I will have fun eating it after!!!!! See you then!
