Capturing Still Life {March}

Capturing Still Life from Following In My Shoes

March was busy.  Busy.  Busy.  And, full of pinkeye (thank you, Mr. Boy, for that one).  With just a few days left, I realized it was time to share some (believe me — these are just some of the pics from my Instagram stream) of the craziness I shared on Instagram over this past month.

(‘Cause I know you — ahem, MOM — really want to see more pictures of the Kidlets)

I tried sneaking out of the house to drink my morning coffee in peace ... apparently that was a SURE SIGN I wanted company.  Moms can never escape.

Meanwhile, the Boys held an emergency meeting of the “He-Man Woman Haters Club”. That day’s topic: How to Scare Girls.

They settled on this for their scare tactic.

Baby Barney can't stay off the train table ... which is why I had The Husband glue and nail all of the buildings and track down.  One less thing to clean up!

To a peaceful, organized refuge.  I may start locking myself in here when I need a break.

The Little Lady teaching her Brothers about Easter using Resurrection Eggs (she made these at school).  I'm afraid it became less of a chance to share the story and more of an opportunity to boss the boys.  Big Sisters!!!!!

I’ve realized something about spending all my time on Instagram: it has made me a lazy photographer.  My Nikon pretty much only comes out for food photos these days … which is sad.  Even though using my phone camera is easy, the only photos I have from this past month are all grainy, compressed and poorer quality than what I could get out of my dslr.

I’m going to challenge myself next month, I think.  It’s time to get back to practicing with “the real camera” and preserving crystal-clear images of the little faces I love best.

We’ll see how that goes!
