Couldn’t resist using this picture because of Kara — even though I tried to cut her out!  I think it’s great!!

Happy Birthday, Mia!!!

“What’s she going to do?”

“I don’t think I like this…”

“Oh well, it’s just part of being family!”

This is the tree around the corner from our house.  I wish I had started taking a weekly picture like Alison is doing, but since I didn’t, look for another picture of this tree at the end of the month.

Today, I had the chance to take pictures of Mia & Kat together, but none of them turned out!!!  The girls were sitting in these great chairs at Kirkland’s; however, I hadn’t checked the setting on my camera & the pictures are really blurry & out of focus.  Hopefully, the lesson about checking the camera settings is one I learn during this month of “challenge.”

But I had taken a (not so great) picture of Kat learning about Hopscotch when we were at the house earlier, so at least I can post this picture!  (Check out those polka-dot tights!)

A rose on our bush.  I “edited” by hitting the “spotlight” button — have no idea what that means, but it made the background look dark.

Sleepy Gnome has obviously fallen off his post & is stuck between the house brick, the railroad tie & the patio — too sleepy to get himself up!

The “challenge is to take a photograph everyday”  Well I spent all day at the hospital w/Karen, so when I got home I did take a couple of pictures in the living room, but I didn’t like them, so I am posting a picture I took yesterday!  (The rules don’t say the posted picture has to be a picture taken that day,does it?)
