365

Two plus months...knew it had been a while but time sure did fly quickly!  Too much has happened during this lapse of time to recap but a little lesson I learned involved goals.
Back in late summer, I got in my mind the crazy idea to run a half marathon and I managed to convince Candace that it would be a fabulous idea to do it together!  Several months of training ensued...there were hot, humid runs and there were chill you to the bones runs, but we had a training schedule and we stuck to it.
We are now right at 2 months post race and I've run some here and there but without a goal to work for, I haven't been as diligent.
All of this to say, I read on a blog about a Project 365 involving photos.  There may be more formal rules/guidelines in place but I've boiled it down to one easy thought...take a picture every day for 365 days, a full year.  I didn't discover this little gem until a month into the new year but I'm going with it.  So a) I have a goal b) I have a blog that no one reads BUT these a & b are going to hold me accountable!
I haven't really decided my format...post a pic each day, a few times a week, weekly, etc.  For ease and sanity, I think I'll just do it when I have a free moment (which is not right now but I've been putting it off for a week), so here we go!!

Day 1 - Saturday, January 29, 2011
Beautiful springlike day in the middle of winter so we took a family outing to our church, had a picnic and played on the playground.  I have lots of cute ones from this day so this is going to be the really hard part for me...just one!!

Day 2 - Monday, January 31,2011 (yeah, I skipped Sunday, don't hate, I'm new at this)
This is usually how I start my mornings, not too bad, well most of the time!

Day 3 - Tuesday, February 1, 2011
My first king cake of the season...yum, Julie Ann's praline & creme

Day 4 - Wednesday, February 2, 2011
Our first fire...it was a cold evening!!

Day 5 - Friday, February 4, 2011 (yep, Thursday was a no go)
Snow day!  We got a pretty good coating of the white stuff...here me and the trio are walking to Tootsie & Pop's house for a little entertainment.  Schools were closed and so was my office...whoot whoot!
Day 6 - Saturday, February 5, 2011
While we were at my parents' house the day before, Haley found a little stuffed doggie that came from a McDonald's Happy Meal, circa 2003.  She then became emphatic that we have some McD's...this was their first happy meal!  I'm not opposed to fast food for them, but we tend to stop by Wendy's as our weekly choice! 

Day 7 - Sunday, February 6, 2010
Super Bowl!  I made a cookie cake for our friend Paul who celebrates 30 something on Tuesday.  He and Jason threw our youth group a church a little super bowl party so I thought it would be a fun addition.  Happy happy Paul!

So there is week one!  Here is to the next 358 days!!

I personally like seeing the pics of your kiddos, so glad you're doing the daily pic!! One of my other mom's has taken a picture of each of her kids every day of their lives, I think it's amazing (and it was fun to make it in a few of them)! Looking forward to seeing more!
