Things have calmed down a little now so let's try again! This time, my goal is to take a photo every day. Most of these photos will tell a story of my everyday life...
Here are the themes for October:
Oct 1 | Squishy - One of the things my son loves to do is silly faces. It's how I get him to relax and goof around before taking non-silly shots. He loves to squish his cheeks with his fingers to get "fish lips" since he can't quite suck in his cheeks. Hehe
Oct 2 | Black & White - Piano Keys (even if it's a toy). You can turn any photo into black & white. That seemed like the easy way out but I chose to look for something that's actually black & white. I bought this for my son because he showed interest in guitars. He was only interested in it for a very short period of time.
Oct 3 | Free Theme Friday - Boys playing with toys. We went on a last minute vacation to Tahoe City for our 7th year anniversary. We take the kids everywhere we go... This boy loves his cars & trucks.
Oct 4 | Leaves - I wanted a photo of leaves in fall colors. Well, Tahoe is full of evergreens. I actually started taking photos of trees in the parking lot of a Safeway. During our visit to a park near the lake, I took this one. It was the best I can do since the sun was going down fast!
Oct 5 | FIVE - Fallen pine cones at the cabin we stayed at. Today is my 7 year anniversary with my best friend (husband). It is also our baby's 2 month milestone (everything is a milestone to me). I'm not happy with it... I took this photo as we packed all of our things including the 3 boys. Logan (4yrs) is crying because he wants a snack. Connor (19 months) is crying because he's caught a cold on top of teething pains: 6 teeth cutting through. Dustin (2 months) is crying because he soiled himself and hates car seats. Daddy is locking up the cabin. It was quite musical.
I was excited to see that this photo was featured on Instagram! The funny thing is, it was featured for the next day's theme (Brown) lol. Oh well, I am still very honored and excited!
Oct 6 | Brown - Maple Tree Leaves... This is the only tree in my yard turning brown. I think it's dying! The other Maple trees aren't turning brown... Ugh oh.
10/7 | FAST - Time goes by fast. I was doing a session with my niece. I kept thinking "Wow, she has grown into such a beautiful young woman!" It seems like just yesterday I was dressing her up (she was just a toddler) & taking pictures of her (before the digital age, using film).
10/8 | Full Moon - The picture says it all. All I know is there's no way I can sneak outside at night to take a photo of the actual moon...that's if it's even visible from my house. My kids are young and by the time they (they're sick right now including me) get to bed.. I'm ready to knock out. My son is 2 months and has been having blow outs up the back of his diaper. This is actually how I've discovered changing his diaper with little to no poops on his head & all over him while taking off his soiled onesie & diaper. Only wish I knew this with the first 2 boys!
10/9 | Time - This Clock is in my bathroom. I had hoped to give it to my daughter but I ended up having 3 boys! Now it's mine I guess. When my oldest gargles mouthwash, we tell him to wait until the butterfly comes all the way back around to the 5 and then spit out!
10/10 | Free Theme Friday - Last week, my 4 year old says "Mom, there's something on the ceiling fa!" & I glanced at it and thought it was a deflated helium balloon which we have a lot of because his little brother is obsessed with it. Today, I laid on the couch and looked up and realized, the balloon is still on the ceiling fan... only it wasn't a balloon. It was his other brother's rompers!
10/11 | Polka Dot - I've been working on a scrapbook for a friend's 50th birthday and I just love these polka dot flowers... & I have endless card stock too! ^_^
10/12 | Technology - I know this isn't new technology but it is to me since I've just purchased my minivan this year while pregnant with my 3rd boy. Having 3 kids age 4 and under, this has helped me tremendously. A press (2x) of a button to open doors! LOVE! People hate minivans (so I hear from friends) but I LOVE LOVE it and wish I had gotten it earlier (hubby was against it but now I think he secretly loves it too!)
I couldn't resist this other photo too! I staged this but I know some can relate to this
10/14 | Patterns - Love this Kleenex box pattern!
10/16 | Big & Small - Hubby & Connor's feet
10/17 | Free Theme Friday - Nothing special. A photo of a prop I had. I tried to take a photo of my over-tired toddler and it didn't go well so I grabbed this cute fire truck :) Of course while I was doing this, my son threw several of my props over the rails into the foyer. Trouble maker. ^_^
10/18 | Silhouettes - My son's Dino. It was a busy day and we had a wedding to attend. This was all I could think of after the wedding. I tried to take a photo of my 20 month old but of course he won't stay still. What was I thinking? hehe
10/19 | Bokeh - This one would be pretty simple. I feel like I never get out so I took a photo of my son's toys while we were playing out in the yard. I love Bokeh and sometimes I would add more of it in post processing but I didn't with this one since I used the 50mm 1.4 ^_^
10/20 | Stripes - Disposal straws. My kids chew through the plastic straws that come with their reusable cups. Instead of throwing out the cups, disposal straws work wonders. A featured photo too!
10/21 | Golden - A 24k four leaf clover ring. My husband gave this to me when we first started dating 14 years ago. I got it caught on a nail on my finger and bent it into a teardrop shape & had to get it reshaped.
10/22 | Something Fake - This wagon (fake Radio Flyer)
10/23 | Edible - Yogurt!
10/24 | Free Theme Friday - Tulbaghia Violacea . My son always picks these and tells me he loves me and that's he's picked flowers for me because I love flowers... so sweet. But these.. they STINK!
10/25 | Closeup - Sea Salt
10/26 | Selfie or Mirror - I used my iPhone
10/27 | Landscape - Nothing but 2 lonesome trees. Not much landscape in Elk Grove where I'm at.
10/28 | Orange - Orange organizer bag.. holds my crochet supplies. Also making orange & brown face scrubbies for the fall.
10/29 | Creepy - Caterpillars. I hate them but since I don't have a garden where I've found many in my younger years in mom's garden, this crochet camera buddy will do! Isn't it cute?
10/30 | Celebrate - The fall holidays comes with lots of goodies! Hubby came home from work with this yummy caramel chocolate apple!
10/31 | Trick-or-treat - My little munchkins
