Project 366 -- Day 86

March 26th.


Little Miss P showing off a random rock. (I guess she thought it was cool.)

Project 366 -- Day 85

March 25th.



Classic whiny Sweet Pea.

(This may just be one of my favorite pictures of all time.)

Project 366 -- Day 84

March 24th.



Sweet Pea trying out a new trick: checking herself out in the mirror.

Project 366 -- Day 83

March 23rd.



The girlies with our faithful mother's helper / babysitter.

Project 366 -- Day 82

March 22nd.

What to do when you've forgotten to take your picture for the day, and you have your computer handy, but your camera is downstairs?

This.



No one said these had to be super professional pictures every day, right? :-P

Project 366 -- Day 81

March 21st.



Bradford pear blooms.

I'm beginning to think all this pollen just might be worth the beauty that comes with it. (I doubt I would be so generous as an allergy sufferer, though.)

Project 366 -- Day 80

March 20th.



Allergies, anyone?

Spring came early this year, along with LOADS of pollen. This is what I wiped off the slide this afternoon... even though it rained this morning!! And of course the slide was covered again an hour later. Thank goodness it doesn't seem to bother me too much.

Project 366 -- Day 79

March 19th.



Despite what a tomboy she is most of the time, Little Miss P really is quite a beautiful little girl, I think.

Project 366 -- Day 78

March 18th.

This is called... the "I need a random picture for my blog" picture. i.e., I walked around the house trying to find something to take a picture of. And I settled on this floral arrangement that hangs above my bed. And I took an off-center picture of it. Why? Because I felt like it. And it looked kind of cool.


So... am I crazy, or is that actually kind of cool?

Project 366 -- Day 76

March 16th.



Edible springtime. Mmmm...

Project 366 -- Day 75

March 15th.



Sweet Pea had me pretty nervous for the first few days after setting up the new swing set... She was DETERMINED to climb that ladder up to the slide, but she didn't quite know how to manage it. I'm happy to report that in only a week's time, she has pretty much mastered it. As you can see, she is pretty happy with herself.

Project 366 -- Day 74

March 14th.



Sunset.

Project 366 -- Day 73

March 13th.



The blooming plants are beautiful, too!

Project 366 -- Day 72

March 12th.



Loving all the budding plants!

Project 366 -- Days 70-71

March 10th-11th.

We built a new playset in our backyard this weekend. And since this was a rather big project, I couldn't pick just one photo for each day, now could I? So I'm including a few extras to show you the progression. The first three are from different days, and the last two are my actual entries for the 10th and 11th.



This is what the playground looked like before. ...Well, not exactly. This was what it looked like about 3 years ago. I just forgot to take a picture of the whole set before the hubby started tearing it down. It was actually in a lot worse shape than it looks like in the above picture (and a lot less snowy.)



This is more like what it actually looked like "before"... except that the hubby had already removed the slide and ripped off part of the top of the tower. The wood was so rotted that the hubby is literally tearing this thing apart with his bear hands in this picture.



The bare grounds... ready for new construction. (The new slide is hanging out, waiting to be put up.)



And here we have the nearly-completed new playset (March 10th)...



And the fully-complete playset (March 11th). MUCH nicer and sturdier than the last one!

Project 366 -- Day 69

March 9th.



More signs of spring. I have always loved wildflowers, and violets are some of my very favorites.

Project 366 -- Day 68

March 8th.



Signs of spring.
(It came early this year. I'm not complaining.)

Project 366 -- Day 67

March 7th.



Princess found this flower lying around when we went to the grocery store the other day. She adopted it and named it "Lauren." Lauren the Flower was getting pretty droopy by the time we finished our shopping, so Princess was very glad to get her home and give her a drink of water. *whew*

Project 366 -- Day 66

March 6th.



Princess displaying a picture that she drew of me. If you look closely, you can see what she described as "the purple under your eyes." Yeeeaah...

Project 366 -- Day 65

March 5th. (Photo actually taken on the 8th.)



Little Miss Personality showing a bit of her sweet side.

Project 366 -- Day 64

March 4th. (Photo actually taken on the 8th.)



Sweet Pea exploring the backyard.

Project 366 -- Day 63

March 3rd. (Photo actually taken on the 8th.)

And here follows the aftermath of the late nights of staying up trying to finish the website. In other words, I kind of wore myself out, and for the next few days I either forgot to take a picture or was too tired by the time I remembered. So I took a few "make up" photos on the 8th. I'm thinking I might have to pay penance for these missed days by adding the number of missed days onto my 366 number. Or maybe not...



Princess in top fashion form: tiara, t-shirt, sweatpants, frilly socks, and sandals. Oh yeah.

Project 366 -- Day 62

March 2nd.



Hangin' out by myself while the hubby is away, after the girls have gone to bed... Do I look a little bored? Maybe I am... but it is nice to get a break here and there. :-)

Project 366 -- Day 61

March 1st.



Hangin' out with the girlies

Project 366 -- Day 60

And this is what the website looks like when it's finished. YAY!!! www.mirrorsoflifephoto.com

Project 366 -- Day 59

February 28th.



Aaaand this is what I look like when I'm staying up late in order to finish the website...

Project 366 -- Day 58

February 27th.



Working on building a website in all my spare time = not much time to take a "real" picture...

I ♥ Faces -- "Beautiful B&W"





I just love this picture. It was taken during my biggest family session so far, and here we were getting some pictures of all the cousins. These boys were all so fun to work with... The younger two were especially showing off what characters they were. So cute!

Check all the beautiful B&W photos at iheartfaces.com this week!
