52 Weeks of Me - At Arms Length (6/52)

I felt like a teenager taking a picture of myself this way. It is all you see on Facebook. This was taken in my bedroom with me laying down because that was the easiest way for me to control the camera and not focus on my forehead :)

Join Cara and I in the 52 Weeks of Me project, it's never too late and is really a lot of fun! Stop hiding and get in front of the camera! Please add your self portrait to our flicker group. Do you have any ideas for a theme? Let us know your thoughts in our theme discussion. Next week is Profile.

One of our 52 week participants is having a self portrait challenge this week. Check out Chelsey's blog and her super cute little girl Rauri.

Lunch With My Kindebeaner

Today Ruby and I went to Piper's school and had lunch with her. She reminded me like 10 times that lunch was at 11:00. "We eat at 11 mama, don't be late ok?" Does she know me or what? Ruby and I arrived 10 minutes EARLY b/c I was so afraid of getting caught in traffic and being late lol :) The look on her face when she saw us almost made me burst into tears of joy. That excited little look she has. Lunch was fun. She laughed a lot and helped Ruby eat her sandwich like the little mama she is. It was a good 1/2 hour. Now, she won't want to be caught dead having lunch with me at school in 10 years so I will hold this memory close to my heart and treasure it forever. Tomorrow I will be chopped liver though b/c Daddy is going in to carve pumpkins with her class.

The Paper Mama has a b/w challenge this week and I thought I would participate. I love how clear and light Piper's eyes look even in b/w, it is like looking at my Great Grandpa.

Self

What do you see when you look in the mirror? For me today is one of those days that I am really happy but then I took this picture and looked at it closely on my screen and it made me moody - thus the black and white :)



My girls are the reason for my smile today. It is my pretend birthday celebration - yay! The picnic in the middle of our living room is set and now I must go party!

There are beautiful people this week at The Paper Mama's place!
