^ my Diana F+ lomography book
^ melissa’s dress is so perfect for taking pictures of. she is too. and, of course, there’s the guy with the cool beard.
the bookstore, called Recycled i think, is on north locust street in denton. it’s in an old opera house. it’s really mazy, like the antique store in downtown carrollton. but more so.
so this week my aim is to take photos on a roll of film… with only my fisheye lens on. yeah.
…
road map.
we took the wagon with all our stuff.
swinging
playing in the creek
crawfish claws and body parts…
fun pose
…
i was using that pillow.
^ i made a quilt for a friend who’s having a baby… and had a photoshoot with it outside.
^ grass.
i’m so glad mom taught me how to quilt.
and, our garden seems to be doing okay after the big rainstorm we had. the ground is still rather damp, though, so i didn’t water today. and i try to miss the mud under the swing when i’m swinging.
^ these pants used to be… pants. like, down to the ankle pants. that must have been long ago.
^ breakfast: cereal, cantaloupe, and brown cow yogurt.
^ breakfast number 2: eggs.
^ baby quilt for a friend
^ made while babysitting: gingerbread cookies, with [homemade!] vanilla icing, and eyes.
^ they came in from the pool to decorate the cookies. first they iced them, then the icing had to harden. and they were watching it harden. then they painted them with edible watercolor icing.
^eating their creations
^ one of hudson’s crazy ideas… the pool was too cold, so he filled up this bowl with water, and was trying to make the pool warmer.
^ reading and journaling in bed
^ dinner

me.
funny photo of us in the car.
haha this photo is funny too… and i won’t tell a funny quote clara said, but she asked me not to, but she doesn’t know i already put it on facebook…
we visited a big cross with a statue garden of different scenes from jesus’ crucifiction, and here melissa and daddy are pretending to be disciples suprised at the empty tomb.
it was really windy.
i like this photo of melly… even though she probably doesn’t.
we got to meet our cousin asher!!
Mom got to quilt with Mema.
i babysit these adorable kids that i just love.
how rylee writes is just precious. how she forms the letters and numbers is so cute. but i bet i probably was like that when i was first learning.
and i don’t know if you can see it very well, but her E at the end of LOVE is like 2 1/2 inches long. i love it.
and of course, while they were napping, i went outside and took pictures of myself jumping. one does that every time you babysit, right?
but this time i had a purpose. my cousin mary’s birthday.
i love my face in this one. jumping off playground equipment makes great photos, but i wanted to land on land- not shovels or slides.
i have another one that’s similar to this one, but i’m looking down. i was jumping basically onto my camera, and didn’t really want to come down feet first on it.
she was being the drama queen this evening and making me laugh. really hard. alot. and almost making me pee in my pants.
