Storytelling Saturday

Storytelling Saturday is when I randomly choose a picture from my picture folders and then tell the story behind the picture. Sometimes pictures aren't always so self-explanatory.

Below is a photo of Isabelle when she was 7-months-old. She was just learning to sit by herself in the tub. Her brother was dumping water on her head and she didn't mind at all. I love the way this picture captures the droplets falling from her head and that not-quite-clean-yet face. Also, her and her brother have amazing eyelashes. Mine, not so much. They must have gotten that from their daddy!

Storytelling Saturday on Sunday It snowed!!

I'm having a ball taking snow pictures this morning! Once I'm done taking pictures for the day I will be uploading some. Until then here is one of my favorites from earlier this year.

Alex had just thrown a snowball (snowdust?) and I captured the "explosion" leaving his hand. It's one of my favorite snow photos.

Storytelling Saturday

During a trip to the park this past July, we spotted some geese getting ready to get into the pond. They were headed across the pond to a family that was throwing bread pieces to the geese. Alex thought this was very interesting and decided to walk with them. This picture makes me laugh. He looks like he is pay extra attention just in case one goose decides to go rogue and come at him!

Storytelling Saturday

A little before Mother's Day this year, Alex disappeared into the toy room and told me he was working on some craft projects. Apparently he was creating some crafts for me for Mother's Day. This is him sitting in front of the gifts he gave me. At school he drew a picture of the two of us and put it on a piece of construction paper to form a frame. I loved getting this one-of-a-kind gifts from my sweet boy. He may drive me batty sometimes but he sure is a sweetie!

Storytelling Saturday

On Saturdays I like to open my Pictures file and randomly (with my eyes closed, ha!) choose a folder and then randomly (eyes closed again) choose a picture. Then, I write about what that picture was about. If you'd like to join me just leave a comment!

Very simple story today. Can you guess what food is causing my baby girl to make such an awful face? It's yellow. It has a peel. You can mush it up and make great baby food!

Yes, bananas caused Isabelle such angst. She was about 8-months-old in this photo. She is now almost 2.5 years and she still hates bananas. Can't even smell them! She's a funny girl!

Storytelling Saturday and a huge thank you!

First of all, thank you so very much for all the comments on my last post. I truly appreciate it. I will be visiting you all leaving a thank you personally but I want you to know it means a lot to get your input!









The picture below was taken last year during our "fall photo shoot". It's an annual thing we do at my mother-in-law's house. Come November she has a ton of leaves laying on the ground and it makes for great photos!

This particular photo always makes me laugh. "A" was throwing leaves and decided it would be fun to throw them at daddy. Daddy was not so thrilled but still allowed his cute son to do it. The joy on "A"'s face makes the shot. Granted my husband's face all wriggled up is funny too but I love that you can feel the glee my son was feeling that day throwing leaves at his pop!

Storytelling Saturday!

Find a picture and tell us the story behind it. Grab the button for your blog and leave a link in the comments section! I randomly open a folder and choose a picture from that folder. You can do it however you like, just tell us the story!

This is "I" on her first Easter. At 9.5 months she was eating many, many solid foods. As you all know, sweets are pretty high on the favorite food list for kids. "I" was no exception. Although I think the texture of this Easter goodness was not so thrilling to her. She ate a few bites but didn't cry when we took it away. Whew. Crisis averted. Thank you Just Born for the wonderful Easter favorite, peeps.
