Brothers -- Day 163

Lollygagger -- Day 115

Jump -- Day 58

Last night I was considering whether to continue this project or not. For some reason it's been a lot harder this time around and I've just not been able to get into it as I have before. I don't know if it's the cold and deadness of winter and my creativity will get better come spring, or if it's just the fact that I feel like I've already photographed everything that I see from day to day. I don't want to do this project if I come to it with a feeling of dread when I get to the end of the day and haven't come up with a good picture idea. But I also don't want to give up just because I don't feel creative. I decided to go at it from another angle. One where I have someone else choose my subject. There are many people who do the 365 project and many of them come up with lists that they share online. I may not stick to a specific list and I may decide on something different as the year goes by, or deviate from a list if I have my own idea, but at least for today, I'm using a list. :) The subject for February 27th was, "Jump." So here you have it.... Today I'll jump in again with both feet and see if I can pull off another 365 Photo a Day challenge even though there are many days I just don't want to do it. 

Snow Twins -- 49

Twins and Cars -- Day 19

Excited Faces -- Day 363

The kids were sooooo excited today, when it was discovered that snow flakes were falling from the sky. They danced around on the deck for a while trying to catch the flakes on their tongues. Matt said, "I want bigger snow." I told him he'd have to ask God about that. A few minutes later the flakes were bigger. I asked Matt if he'd asked God for "Bigger Snow" and he said, yes, with a big smile on his face. :) The flurries didn't last long and there wasn't any accumulations, but the kids enjoyed it while it was there and were ready to come inside before too long.

Pizza Party -- Day 361

Well, it wasn't an official party, but Stephen treated us to Dominoes the evening before he left. I wasn't thinking I'd be featuring Dominoes again in this project, but I am. I decided I'd get people in this shot. :) I was happy that most of my family obliged.

Line of Siblings +1 -- Day 358

Blue Tongue -- Day 289

Yep, back to work, and the joy of all those little chocolate boys. :) Today there were blue lolly pops and hence blue tongues. :)

Little Hands and After-nap Nido -- Day 282

Every afternoon without fail, when Mark and Luke wake up from their naps they want "Nido." It's a Nestlé powdered milk formula and they love it! It is sweet and warm and yummy in the tummy. I'm not normally thinking of taking photos at this point in the day, but as Luke sat their gulping down his milk, the lighting was perfect and his chubby little hands were oh so cute, so I had to snap away. :)

Twins in Orange -- Day 230

Today was the first Friday after school started which meant Mark and Luke were left home when all the other school kids got on the bus. They don't go to preschool on Fridays and were sad to be left behind. I'm thinking Friday is going to have to be the special day for a morning walk or something. :) This morning Amber and I took Mark, Luke and Jon across the street to see the horses and then explored a little down the road. We found this wood pile which made for a great place to hold two on the move boys still long enough for a photo that was actually in focus. :)

Brothers at the Farm -- Day 216

Had a great time visiting "The Farm" over the weekend. :) I took over 500 photos! Didn't take as many on Friday, so I had a harder time choosing which one to post. Finally decided on this one. The focus is off and I would have loved to not have left Luke's hand out of the frame, but even with those little "quirks" there's just something about the feel of the photo that I love. :)
