Natural lighting, oh how I love thee

While reading my friend Christine's blog yesterday, I was suddenly struck by why I have been so disappointed in most of my pictures lately.... because since the weather has turned cold, all of my pictures have pretty much been inside.  And I just haven't figured out how to make indoor lighting and my camera play nice yet.  So I decided to take it outside today!

While waiting to pick Mylie up from preschool, I snapped a couple of Evelyn (and yes, other parents were looking at me like I was weird).

Love her eyes in this one while she was still strapped in her seat:

Evelyn is sporting quite a mish mash of brands today (which can be seen as a big no-no on some forums I frequent!).  Gap Deauville hat and coat, with Old Navy jeans and Gymboree Tres Chic shoes.

When it was time to pick up Laina from school (have I even mentioned that all I do all day is drive kids to and from activities and school?) I snapped a few of Mylie who stubbornly refused to wear the hat I wanted her to in favour of a pink Gap corduroy newsboy.

Mylie is wearing Gap Leopard/ Deauville corduroy trench with Gap Himilaya top and jeans, with Joe Fuggs.

Here is Evie again, this time with a different soother (fyi in case I refer to it as such, soothers are know around here as "ooshies").  Working the runway.

And a sweet one of the sisterly reunion once Laina got out of class.

If I can get my sewing machine to stop being temperamental while I finish, I will have something cute to show you tomorrow night!

What Are They Wearing Monday and More!

It was a sick day again for Laina, so rather than "what is she wearing", I'll post "what did she do all day".

That was pretty much it for her, it breaks my heart to see her this sick!  Also it tests my patience so have her so whiny and needy, so I am hoping tomorrow she will be feeling better.  On a good day, Laina is a drama queen, but when she is sick.... watch out.

Evelyn wore several outfits today thanks to some diaper blowouts.  She started out wearing Gymboree Panda Blossom, fresh out of the online packaging.  Not only was the hat too small, but the corduroy jumper was too!  But here she is stuffed into her too-small outfit this morning.  And she wouldn't cooperate with posing, so Daddy had to help out.

Later in the day, after diaper blowout number two (there was an outfit in there I didn't get a chance to record), she wore Gap Lodge.



Mylie was rocking some Gymboree Penguin Chalet.  I couldn't get a decent picture of her from the front in the hat, but it was super cute on.

Now, completely unrelated but the girls and I made and decorated some Sugar Cookies today using this for painted on icing.  They are yummy and cute! Adam has eaten 4 just since he got home from work!

And finally, last night before bed, Adam and I noticed that we had some visitors at our back sliding glass door.

There were 3 of them on the step at the same time and they were not the least bit scared of us looking at them!

Sorry for the gross streak on the window above, who knows what that could be with 3 kids!

Thanks for reading, I hope you like the new design, I had Jen from jngcreativedesign make it pretty!  She had previously designed my ebay template and store back when I was Queen Bee's Gymboree.  So thank you Jen!
