Week 45 - Nov 16th - Autumn Beauty
I have been super excited about this week's challenge. My camera has been with me all week getting loads of photos of the children with all the wonderful fall colors everywhere. I should have actually taken more photos about a month ago when all the trees and their leaves were full glorious colors. But, leaves on the ground will do as well. Amazingly enough, the past couple of weeks have been warmer than the whole month of October.
I am gearing myself up for the holidays. Truly I am not anywhere near ready. In my brain I still feel as if I have months and months yet to prepare. However (brain listen please), Christmas is 40 (F-O-R-T-Y) days away! I'm in so much trouble this year(slapping my head there). I think I would be better prepared if my husband were around more. He has been working on a huge project (at work) and is pretty much MIA in this house for the past 4 months. He warned me this would happen and that it will get worse at it gets closer to the end of the year. He has not eaten dinner with us during the week for the past 4 months, been around for good night stories or kisses and the children are suffering a bit. I told him tonight that I was lonely and he better stop ignoring me or I was getting a job and kicking him out(I was joking, but he did not think it was funny).
This weekend I was in full swing with crafting. I completed (from start to finish) six scrapbooks. Two mini scrapbooks strictly from paper and four paper bag scrapbooks. I'm stockpiling as I think I am going to get a table at a local craft fair, I'm just not sure yet. I really don't want to put all this time, effort and hard work into a craft show and then not sell anything. Crushed I would be for sure! My husband keeps telling me to do it and stop giving all my hand made books away as gifts.
My little one was back to the pediatrician this weekend for another nebulizing. She was a champion this time, so very brave and knowledgeable. I asked the Dr if we would need a nebulizer at home and she said she was not ready for that yet. I just hope my little baby girl is good for the remainder of the week. I worry too much and still hope this is not asthma.
This week for my photo I chose my daughter playing outside in a leaf pile. She was having so much fun throwing these leaves up in the air and letting them cascade down over her head. Many peals of giggles were heard this afternoon.
I love the color contrast of the vivid and brilliant clothing against the dead leaves (don't they look so crunchy) and some hardy green weeds still showing perseverance against the weather.

Hang in there - The project will end. Be blessed your hubby has a good job...

Great pictures!
I hope it's not asthma, too.
what a FUN moment you captured. I hope she is feeling better!!
Great capture!! I wanted to do more shots outside BUT it rained here most of the week and we were sick... :(
Love the color!
I agree! I love the color contrast! Great photo! I look forward to seeing yours every week.
Hope your husband gets done with his project soon so you have him around more! Take care!
That photo is fantastic!
Love the colors. Nice capture.
I love this photo. I love how her bright clothes pop out against the natural colors. She looks so happy.
she is adorable! and you took phenominal photos!!
great picture! Love the color of the leaves!
Love the photo...it's a great capture of your daughter having fun!
great photo
You're right. The colors really do provide a cool color contrast and crunchy, yes, they're at the peak of crunchy!
My son did the nebulizer when he was a baby and then we did a face inhaler mask at home probably all the way into middle school. Every time he'd catch a cold, it was go into this asthma type thing. It never came on with exercise, just illness. FINALLY, he grew out of it!
I too love the bright, vibrant colors!
Looks like she is having a blast!
She's so cute! Nothing better then a pile of leaves.
The holidays are totally sneaking up on us. Ready or not, right!?
Love the photo!
gotta love this photo! Great shot
What a fun shot!
Great color and I love crunchy leaves! That is one of my favorite sounds. Is that weird?
I'm slowly getting ready for Christmas over here, I just have this rule in my head that I can't do to much before Thanksgiving.
Great action shot! Playing in the leaves is so much fun!
That's such a cute photo! My hubby works all the time too, so I know the feeling. And I don't have kids, so you must be extra lonley!
Super cool photo and I hope it is not asthma! HOpefully it is either allergies or some bronchitis going on. We have a nebulizer at home for Jonathan because he seems to catch bronchitis at least once each winter.
That is so good. The blue really pops against the background.
We have a nebulizer at home for my youngest. He has mild asthma that flares up this time of year or whenever he is sick.
What a fantastic shot! As always! :)
PS- SIX scrapbooks! Wow! Ever consider selling them on Etsy?
Great picture - but I'm most impressed by SIX scrapbooks. Seriously amazing :-)
she is soo cute! Love the photo :)
Aww, she'd definitely enjoying herself!
I hope it's not asthma and that the rest of the week goes smoothly with no more doctors visits!
i too love the contrast b/t the drab of the leaves and the color of your daughter - great pic
My fav pictures are taken in the fall.
All I can say is, FUN FUN FUN! She's too cute and adorable! All I can see in her face is FUN. VEry cute! Oh, I also hope that its not asthma. Get well soon..
