You would never have caught me reading something like this.
But I am glad that Josh loves books like these.
Because the more that he is able to help himself at mathematics, the better.
I am all for whatever he can find that will help make maths more fun.
I feel like I’ve hit the jackpot when I get good pictures of both kids together. Sometimes one would be smiling nicely, but the other would be making silly faces (three guesses as to who this would be!). Sometimes someone or something would walk into the picture or one of them might have her eyes closed.
These pics below are my favorite pictures of the kids this quarter.
1. This was taken with my Sony TX-1o. I love this point-and-shoot and I carry it wherever I go. Technically we’re not allowed to take pictures at our pool… but I made sure I had a black swim suit on that day and my small camera just blended in nicely. Sometimes silly rules are meant to be broken.
2. Zoë was trying to lift Josh up. I love the smiles on their faces.
3. A totally candid moment where they were cracking themselves up over some silly word game they were playing. I love to hear and see them totally enjoying each other’s company.
4. Josh loves fooling around in the pool and asking me to take pictures of him in different poses. This one was so cool!
5. My sweet Zoë at her Summer Concert the other night. She hung around onstage after their number ended; the rest of her friends have already moved off to the side. She absolutely loves being on stage and performing and you could tell she was enjoying every second of it.
Thank you to Sarah (Naptime Momtog), Amber (Click.Pray.Love.), and Ashley (Ramblings and Photos) for hosting this. It gives me a chance to go through photos on a more regular basis –before it gets too overwhelming to do so.
1. Black and White – For some reason, there were these bottles lying around at Big Wave Bay when I was there with my friend this Friday. They were begging to be photographed. There’s just something romantic about glass bottles at the beach. These two might just be my favorite photos of the week!
2. Silly – This slipper washed up on the beach and soon we were all crowding around it. It looked kind of pretty, kind of gross. Like something a little child mermaid found at the bottom of the sea. She probably started to decorate it with shells and then decided that it was too much trouble, so she let it drift back to shore. Only those little suckers with which she decorated the slipper were alive. You could see their little thingies sliding in and out of the shells. Grossly fascinating.
3. Travel
4. Paper
5. Spots – Not exactly polka dots type of spots… but this interesting whatchamacallit has markings that look like spots. (Stretch, much?) When I saw this guy and the thing he’s holding, I just had to stop and ask if I could take a picture of it. He agreed and posed. I usually have no qualms about asking people if I could take their picture. It doesn’t hurt to ask. The worst they could say is no.
