This first series of three pictures shows DD playing with DS#3. She is putting this cute little "lamb blanket" (that she actually received from her godmother when she was a baby) over her head and DS#3 is pulling it off. They were having a BLAST! In my new phase of simply shooting lots of pictures, I believe I took close to a dozen of them playing like this.
Now this should have a title. If it did, it would probably be something like, "Shhh, I am helping Mama with her Blog."
DS#3 has started to fall in love with trains. We find it humorous because DS#1 was totally into trains and cars were an afterthought (but still fun). DS#2 on the other hand, well, he was totally into cars and balls and trains were nice to play with too. DS#3 just plain loves them all. Lately he has become particularly attached to Mavis and James (if you know older Thomas the Tank Engine characters you'll understand). Here he is looking over his new pajamas while playing with his favorite trains. I took about 5-6 pictures to get this one, it might not actually be the best, but I love his expression so I picked it.
This last picture is something I had to take. I don't foresee a "scrapbook place" for it, but tonight I found it very funny. Every night (and many mornings and afternoons) I spend time picking up and "parking" various cars and vehicles. Well, I didn't think much about "missing" vehicles after doing some picking up this evening until I suddenly found it very difficult to open the door to the laundry room. Yup, looks like the laundry room is a new parking garage. I mean, it isn't like we store a bunch of stuff in there anyway is it?
I think you're doing a great job of taking pictures! That's the advantage of digital, isn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the photos!! All SO cute, and such a slice of life in your family...yes, even the laundry room/garage.
ReplyDeleteJust to be fair, do you think you should post more of DS#1 and #2? (I know, I know...DS#3 is much more cooperative w/ that smile for the camera.) I LOVE that your younger ones are playing w/ each other and not fighting about a spot on the couch (or something silly like that ;) ).
Hi CB! I actually do get pictures with DS#1 in them sometimes, the truth is that sometimes he just isn't around when I am actually taking pictures. Sometimes the pictures I do get him in usually have him trying to make one of the others smile/play/whatever.
ReplyDeleteDS#2 is the huge problem though. He literally runs away when the camera comes out.
American Idol starts tonight, I think it is a good bet that the family will be in the living room watching and that I can get some shots of everyone on the sofa.
I have been able to get video of the older boys. Playing around with the video sucks up huge amounts of time so I haven't gotten any more up but I'll try over the next few days.
