Project 366 {Week Six}
February 5: Wonderworks Nominees, Crawdads & Crazy Monkeys
James randomly found this massive craw daddy this morning while doing outdoor chores. We have had a lot of rain lately so I guess he just washed up. I couldn’t believe my eyes when he came strolling into the house with that thing. He gave Delayuh a good fright, I wish I had captured her reaction!
The boys were recipients of Wonderworks “Future Scientist” and “Strength Through Adversity” nominations! They each earned a free ticket to the museum. I am so proud of them both!
I taught the kids this exercise tonight. I used to love doing this as a kid and now that they have learned it… they also can’t quit impressing us with it!
February 6: Valley Water Mill Park
This place was so awesome. We hiked along streams, saw an actual spring and, of course, the lake. There is so much to see and learn in nature and it always makes it more fun to be with friends! We enjoyed a yummy picnic before heading back home for some book learning on the front porch. What a gorgeous sunny and warm day it was!
February 7: Chicken Coop
These boys are such good caretakers of our little flock. They truly impress me with their total care, from daily feeding and watering to cleaning the entire coop every couple three weeks. They have really taken full responsibilty for these ladies that we got as tiny, just barely hatched chicks. We are all excited for them to start laying this spring! We eat so many eggs!
February 8: The Baker
He doesn’t have to help make bread but he sure likes to! And I like that he likes to!
February 9: Seeley Man
This kid is obsessed with the Chiefs and so he loves wearing his new hat that Daddy got him for his birthday along with his #87 jersey. I got him these little red sneakers around a year ago and he wears them every chance he gets too, although he’s sadly about to outgrow them. We had a Krispy Kreme date today and when I saw the red chair I knew I had to make this simple environmental portrait of him! I leave at least one of my camera bodies in my backpack at all times these days so when the moment calls, I am ready!
February 10: Hard Working Man
He is so unbelievably hard working and dedicated to pursuing his dreams. I am so proud of him and happy to be by his side for each step of the journey.
February 11: Chiefs Are Superbowl Bound!
I never doubted. And yes we did pop a champagne in the house! What an incredible amazing game and memories made together! I had my camera on a tripod and timer to capture reactions and emotion from everyone, I especially loved Seeley’s dance and at one point James was rolling around on the floor, lol, that’s just what he does with extreme happiness! We sure had one happy house tonight!
