he loves me…he loves me not…he loves me
A simple love, a simple flower. He loves me as his mom, the one who holds his hand. Why does it pass so quickly? The hugs, the laughs and the tears give me immeasurable pleasure. I wish I could bottle this time forever. He loves me and this I will always treasure.
Now please visit the wonderfully inspiring blog of Elaine Melko, Chicago to see her floral photographs.
I’m so glad that I am participating in this project with a fabulous group of photographers. This year is flying by – summer break is right around the corner for us. And because of this project I have a few memories captured. This day was just another day at home with a birthday party mixed in. I didn’t get started shooting this day until after the party but there was still enough going on to make it a full day.
Some face painting and bubbles from the neighbor’s birthday party.

We are trying to teach our daughter about finances, saving and spending wisely. Counting her dough so she can put it in the bank.

This is commonly part of her day – she loves drawing and being creative.

Almost an everyday event for her – dressing up and being girly. She raided my closet today.

A large portion of our day was cleaning the house – and I must say that my husband is a great helper in washing our floors. Thank you honey! I needed a shot of the clean floors because generally you’ll find something smeared on it!

My contribution was sorting and throwing away the bazillion piles of “stuff” on every surface you could find. Drives me batty! Here is the before and after of our cleaning efforts. Feels like a Sesame Street game – find what is missing between the two photos.

The first purchase of the year from the “ice cream guy”. The ever so healthy and natural Sponge Bob bar. :/ I must admit this truck looks a bit old (and perhaps sketchy). Far from the shiny, sparkly trucks I remember growing up. Wait a minute. It’s probably the same truck! I know it’s Texas but this truck is out and about ALL year long even in the winter. It’s funny I don’t ever see him in the winter but I hear the truck. Seems like it should be a Seinfeld episode.

Cars! This is part of his day everyday. He loves them and never tires of playing with them.

An after-dinner snack to satisfy the sweet tooth.

Thank you for allowing me to share my day with you. Please continue on to see my talented friend Roxanne Bappe | Imaging Rox | Central Iowa Photographer and her 10 on 10 for May.
