went on a child hunt in hopes of finding one.

work in progress

this is what you get when you don't pick up your camera during the day.

i waited to the last possible moment i would be seeing my boys today,

then tried to take a shot.

i didn't mean to, i just had a bunch going on.

so, as you can see, that doesn't work out so well for someone who likes to shoot in natural lighting.

i took a class this summer that finally taught me how to use my camera.

not just turning it on auto and letting the camera think for me.

no natural light=bad picture.

i will eventually master this shot too.

but for now just imagine a cute 3 year old, in his favorite dinosaur pajamas, climbing in for the night.

that's what they called themselves today.

why they wouldn't sit at the kid's table.

i informed them that they were not considered that until 12.

point proven...

one of them couldn't get the cheese off his taco.

the other one had a hard time finishing a kids meal.

i rest my case.

chipping away on this weeks homework.

a little reading to start the day.

it just makes the week a little less hectic if he can get his routine homework out of the way.

no...not by his own accord.

but when you lose electronics on the weekend for not getting your homework done during the week after you were continually asked to do so...

what else is there to do?
