My Life. In Pictures: Day 2

So it's day two in Amber's Photo Challenge! Today's theme is ... "Something on your table." -- well my table is kind of crowded right now, it's been a busy day...




Let's see, what do we have... a peek of a laundry basket (our laundry closet is in the dining area), then I was cleaning out my camera bag so we have an extra body, assortment of lenses, flash, extra battery (need to find #3!!) my coffee cup that my mom bought me when I had my son, my DS, ever present "Dinner Games" tin, camera bag, kid's homework folder, and various art projects that the child has started...as witnessed by the paint residue around my coffee cup...

Guess I need to clean up the table before dinner tonight!

Saturday Fun

On Saturday afternoon we hit the beach.. what else is there to do with temps in the high 70's?? I didn't take many pictures because I was having fun just playing and watching Bryan....

Karate Tournament

I have to hand it to my kid and give him credit where it's due. He's a trooper. We went to his 3rd karate tournament on Sunday. And he was competing against kids older than him (there was only one other 5 year in his group) and he did his best. Did he place? No, but the experience is priceless and helps him prepare for future tournaments.

My Life in Pictures: Something New

So, Alicia blogged about this cool thing and I'm going to try and play along, I'm sure I'll mess up how I'm supposed to link back and all that jazz so I'll just say whoops from the get go...

(and because I'm on a time limit I'm going to just c&p what Alicia said in her blog.)

Everything Except The Grill is hosting a wonderful Photo Challenge this week. I think it looks like a lot of fun...

Monday- Something new
Tuesday- Something on your table
Wednesday- The view from your front door
Thursday- Something you do each day
Friday- Something old


And here is my Monday assignment... Bryan and I planted some seeds a week or two ago -- look what we found this morning (I admit I hadn't looked in a few days)

T-Ball Opening Day

So, today was opening day and Paul and I went a little photo happy -- it was mostly me flipping between two cameras (I didn't want to bother with changing lenses so a friend loaned me her camera bag for the day) but when our team was at bat I was playing the role of 3rd base coach.. I've got over 200 files to go through and whittle down but wanted to share one of Bryan in "ready" position -- he was playing between 1st and 2nd bases --I also wanted to share a link to the local news station that was there -- if you look closely you'll see me on the sidelines with camera in hand on the ground (in a black top) -- Bryan's team is the Indians in dark blue shirts and hats...

Coming home early...

This morning I was in Bryan's classroom for about an hour, grading homework, updating folders and grading spelling tests. Ran to Target, stopped at Starbucks and get a call from Paul that the school called him (having some serious cell phone problems lately) -- shortly after I left this morning they went out for morning recess and Bryan decided to jump off the swing...landed on his face. No tears and he told Paul on the phone that he was okay to stay the day but I still swung by. He didn't go to science so he stayed in the class with his teacher and helped her and they had just come back to the nurse's office to get ice when I showed up. He decided then that he wanted to go home. Looks like he'll have a black eye for t-ball opening today tomorrow and now he's resting with a bag of frozen corn on his face. I'll update with a picture later... right now he just needs mommy..and mommy needs to go watch cartoons with him.

And here's a picture...
