{daily dozen: 12 on 12}

Twelve pho­tos from one day. I knew Mon­day was super busy here, so I doc­u­mented my pho­tos on Sun­day itself. The week­ends are more fun any­how. I love love loved the film look that Carly gave all her pho­tos (see them here on her blog The sim­ple things), aren’t they amazing?

How to add film grain — that’s  going to be my fun learn­ing project for this week­end! But for today’s 12 pho­tos, I wanted to try some­thing quick — so I made them look like posters… which lead to a 5 phone call, 30 minute dis­cus­sion about dig­i­tal pos­ter­iz­ing with the hus­band, coz I liked these pho­tos, but he wasn’t a big fan

The morn­ing starts with me bak­ing choco­late chip cook­ies– using wheat flour and oats. yumm and health­ier too…

learn­ing to type/spell her name…

the great weather took us outdoors, 

walk around the lake, first beau­ti­ful day of spring, the whole town was out for a walk…

baby stayed cozy and happy in her stroller…

a loooooong pit­stop at the park, swing swing swing, wheeeeeeeeee!

back home, some quiet time with crayons…

sneak behind mom to play with her cell phone…

cook­ing dinner…brussel sprouts with peppers…

lit­tle fin­gers eat­ing chee­rio…

bed­time story with dada…

(my pho­tos for the 10 on 10{march} at thes­im­plethings blog and 12 on 12 at dear lizzy’s blog and the take twelve at ella’s pub­lish­ing, Whew!)

Busy day out here, with me pick­ing things off the floor and clean­ing tables and try­ing to make the house look less lived in. How has your day been?
