Picture Perfect ... Almost!

I'm reading a photography book,  The Unexpected Everyday  that has daily prompts to help practice different photography techniques.  Today's was taking pictures of kids' feet while changing focus points on the camera.   Who knew feet could be so cute?!?!

On Saturday D and I went on a date together!  We went to a local art studio and painted a mermaid.  D was beyond excited to use "real artist paint!" Getting ready to paint. A clean canvas with just the mermaid's body sketched in pencil. They are starting to take shape.  I'm not sure if there was more paint on the canvas or on D! D LOVED every moment of painting.  She was careful in mixing colors and painting carefully. The finished paintings turned out great.

If you know our family, you know that I am NOT a morning person!  Unfortunately the kids are also not morning people.  We tend to be grumpy and unsatisfied by the smallest things.  But some mornings go so well!  Everyone is happy, smiling, and laughing.  They go so well we have time for remote control car fun before the bus comes.  I'd love to see more mornings like this.
