Smiles

SMILES!
Today is a really dreary day. Too much rain, no sunshine, wet dog smell inside, ants in the living room, and Macy is wearing an awful grumpy face! ACK! I just need to see some happy faces and not because they want something from me! (like Molly is doing right now... she thinks if she's cute enough she won't have to clean up that polly pocket mess she just made...) I think I'll let the kids help me make pizza tonight. That always puts a smile on their faces and beating the poo out of the dough is a great stress reliever. Win-Win! What makes you smile? Help me get out of this funk. I can't wait to see your happy faces!
This week's theme is: SMILES


Happy side note here: We now have the internet at home! Wow I feel so happy to be wearing my jammies,  sitting in my favorite ugly chair, posting on the blog, and reading others all from my own home... NOT at McDonalds! 

BEANS

Oops guess I'm a day late posting these... I was waiting for one more but that person can jump in next week. Finding 'beans' was a ton of fun... more fun than I expected actually. So jump in and snap some pics of this weeks theme (coming soon in next post). Then send me your favorite 1 or 2 pics to post here. Enjoy!

Ground up (used) coffee beans

Garbonzo beans (aka chickpeas)

Italian style (my favorite!) green beans

Pinto beans

New Ideas

I’ve been reading a friends blog and recently she posted something called Sunday’s Scavenger hunt. Her list was chocolate, numbers, music, canned food, and a stack. She then went through the house taking fantastic pictures of these things. For numbers she took a picture of the tv remote, for music she took a picture of piano sheet music, and so on. I was thinking... this would be a lot of fun to do and that thought evolved into I wonder what such and such would take a picture of or how would such and such make this shot better... no not better… different… no… different in a better way. (Lol! That scene in Kicking and Screaming cracks me up!) SO I have an idea that I’d like you to participate in. At the beginning of the week I will post a theme. Throughout the week you and I will look for the theme and snap a photo. You DO NOT have to be a ‘good’ photographer to join in because this is just meant to be fun! Make it silly, artsy, creative, or whatever your style may be then email it to me. I will post it on this blog on Sunday with your name (or disguise) listed with it. Then we can all admire the world from different points of view. Literally.

This week’s theme was inspired by my addiction to Starbucks and tonight’s dinner. I want to see your BEANS! I can’t wait to see what you guys come up with!
