Project 365: Week 5

This is for week January 31 - February 6.

Sunday:  Mercy really wanted her hair in a pony tail.  Adrian and I both told her no last Sunday because we LOVE her curls!  This Sunday I decided that she could have her way.  I put her hair in a pony tail, and it was long enough!  I took a couple of pictures of her pony tail, but I really liked this one of her eyes.  I am thankful for little girls and especially this one!

Monday:  I took Kyle and Keira with me to the chiropractor.  We took a couple of pictures in their garden before leaving.  This is not an uncommon expression, but I love how it goes with what his shirt says!  I am thankful for this handsome boy, even if he doesn't like to smile for the camera.

Tuesday:  Tuesday was foggy and a little damp.  I wanted to take pictures in the fog, but Keira needed to be at speech therapy.  We arrived a bit early, so I took a couple of pictures in the parking lot.  Later, on our way to my mom's house for Keira's horseback riding, we stopped at a little cemetery and got some more fog pictures!  I was amazed that it hadn't lifted by 10 am!  I am thankful for a variety of weather conditions to enjoy and to see how God takes care of his world.

Wednesday:  I wasn't really interested in taking pictures on Wednesday.  By the end of the day, I decided to pull the camera out for a couple of quick shots.  I took this one of Patrick playing with the intelliglobe pen.  He loves to "talk" to us and you can see him doing it here.  I love this little guy.  He is such a happy boy.  I am thankful for him.

Thursday: The kids favorite class is art.  They love trying new ways of coloring or painting.  I am thankful for this opportunity for the kids to learn something that we haven't really focused on at home.

Friday: We have a climber!  Well, Patrick isn't like his sister, but he does go up little steps and he especially likes stairs.  Here he is "talking" to me again.  Patrick was in the car basket on our hearth.  I am thankful for being able to see the joy and wonder of the world around us through the eyes of my children.  I also love this accidental self portrait.

Saturday: I did not take a picture on Saturday.  I didn't feel good at all, and I had a lot of grocery shopping to do.  I managed to do all my grocery shopping, but not much else.  This picture is from Monday in the chiropractor's garden.  I love the muted color palette!  I am thankful for beauty in nature, even in winter.
