Project 365: Week 3

Time for my favorite post of the week! Actually I love all my post but this one gives me something to look forward to because not only can I post my pictures I've been taking throughout the week but it also means it's the weekend!
Wow, week three...It's hard to believe we're here already. Seems like just yesterday it was the new year. I also must admit this week posed a little more of a challenge after having the beautiful snow to photograph all last week. Anyways, without further ado lets get on to week three!!

Day 15/365
This could only be the work of my husband....I walked out the other day to find one of my son's cars loaded up with a small firework. I guess it wasn't as successful as he hoped. Doesn't look like too much damage was done after all.

Day 16/365
The diaper cake!!! Here is the finished product of the small sneak peak I gave earlier this week. This was my first attempt at making one of these and I think it turned out pretty well. It made for a great center piece and thoughtful/usable gift for the baby shower today.

Day 17/365
Could you tell I was grasping at straws by this point in the week!? :) Actually I really liked the way this picture turned out of my baby's piggy bank against the dark red cover on his diaper changing table.

Day 18/365
This is the staple of my mornings! My favorite travel coffee mug full of delicious hot coffee and the packets of sun crystals that add that perfect sweet touch.

Day 19/365
WOW! Yes, this is the moon! I was in the middle of cooking dinner on this night and my husband comes running in from the grocery store yelling, "hurry, grab your camera and keys and go right out of the neighborhood!!" I had no clue what I was after but figured if it caused that much of a reaction out of him it would probably be pretty obvious. So I take off to my car, dinner still on the stove, in my pjs and socks. When I made a right out of my neighborhood this is what I saw!! I struggled getting a clear picture. Let's face it-I was so hyped up from the adrenaline and literally sitting in the middle of the median with traffic passing by me so I did the best I could hanging out the window of my car. :)

Day 20/365
Roasted brussel sprouts...Yep, that's what you're seeing. I decided to try them out for the first time ever on my family. I cut them in half, brushed them with a little olive oil, sprinkled some salt & pepper on them and then covered them with fresh cut Parmesan cheese when out of the oven. Verdicts in: I was the only person in the family to actually eat them....Oh well.

Day 21/365

These were the beautiful blood oranges that were in the water pitcher at the baby shower I helped host today. I don't believe I have ever actually seen a blood orange and I actually thought they had been dyed with food coloring. Beautiful fruit and accent piece to a simple pitcher of water!

That's it friends! Another week begins tomorrow. We're getting the boys together with their cousins for a day or two so lots of fun should be coming our way. Have a great weekend!

  2. That moon picture was crazy awesome! How big was it, was it big a like a quarter held at arms length or bigger? I'm a little obsessed with the moon.

  11. I don't even know where to start!

    I think the piggy bank shot ended up being my favorite. Sometimes I love how that works out!

    Firecrackers in cars... I must not let my husband find out about this. Although, I admit, the shot was so crisp I actually thought for a moment that it was your full size vehicle!

    Those blood oranges are incredible. And, okay... the moon. Kudos to your husband on that one. Simply breathtaking! :D

  12. I've never seen a diaper cake before - what a cool idea. Sometimes I wish that I had jumped into the car to get some awesome shots like your moon photo. A few weeks ago I would have had a better view of the eclipse if I'd done that.

    AND I am impressed by your husband's enthusiasm for your photography! I have to say the moon shot is my fave of the bunch!

  22. All great shots! Love the moon! At first glance, I thought it was the sun. I love brussel sprouts but have never roasted them ... I'll have to try that. Oh and the piggy bank shot is adorable.

  25. Love the moon shot. I was at work early in the morning sometime this week and saw the biggest most gorgeous moon ever. it had pink and orange clouds from the sun rising and I was so made that I didn't have my camera and that I was stuck inside working. bummer.
