Team Up Thursday

 

 

This week at Team Up Thursday, Me and Megan chose the theme "big".  Megan is on the left and I'm on the right.  I love Megan's lighthouse and can't believe that was taken with her iPhone.  When Natalya saw herself in this pic she said, "Wow, I'm taller than the lighthouse."  I used my wide angle lens and held my camera sideways touching the ground.  I shot up and got a cool shot.  I knew it would be somewhat distorted but I think it's funny.  Natalya already has big feet (9 years old and she wears a size 4) but her feet look even bigger here in her riding boots.  

One of these days I'll fill in the blanks between Thursdays.  I'm already feeling overwhelmed because the girls' after school activites have already started and they haven't started school yet.  V's two activities have turned in a four/five day a week affair.  N is going to try softball this season.  Against her wishes but I truly believe that she has to experience it before she can say she doesn't like it.  And I think I've put myself out there more than I usually do so I will be saying no to whatever comes my way from here on out.  Don't try to change my mind because I just might waiver.  And I have to say that I'm reconsidering the idea that my girls won't get their driver's licenses until they are 23.  16 is sounding much more logical.  And whatever car they want.  As long as someone will be able to drive me around all day.

The girls meet their teachers tonight.  I'm crossing my finger for an uneventful year.

I just wanted to say how much I love this diptych. I saw it over at Megan's. It's so fun! And yes, school is in full swing though school hasn't started yet. Good luck with softball:)

Both these images had me looking back and forth. A great combo!

I love the angle, Mel. It is such a cool shot.
We have started the afterschool activity dance here too...but don't start til next week.
We are all going to learn to say no together this year, right? Let's practice, "NO, I couldn't possibly..."
Yeah...we'll see.

Oh yes, this works beautifully. Feel your pain re the Mum's taxi thing. At least I am a little closer to getting 'your' dream come true. The BA will be able to go for her L's in about 9 months!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEK

I just absolutely love the angle of your shot Melody! It just reminds me of KISS for some reason :) Beautiful!
