We took the kids to the park last night to burn off some of their sugar high and while we were there I HAD to try something out! One of the girls in my photography workshop recently took a photo from underneath a baby swing and I LOVED the idea, so of course I had to put my spin on it! Let’s just say it is FAR easier said than done!
Here is the shot…I obviously need some practice because all I see are flaws, but as a mom and not a photographer, it is a keeper!!
Can I just tell you how challenging it was to get this?! OH MY GOODNESS!! Let’s just say that I could not for the life of me figure out where I needed to be positioned on the ground to get the best capture and had to keep moving ever so slightly while pushing the swing and avoiding getting whacked in the head by two little feet!! I used stomach muscles I didn’t even know I had to get situated for this! I certainly need more practice and was ready to keep trying, but my model soon lost interest! I think Chris must have been mortified that I was laying on the ground at a public park with people all around (there was adult soccer practice just off to the side and kids all over) and he and Huntler quickly vanished to the opposite end of the playground! When I hunted him down he tried to help me get Gentry back in and going again, but she was over it, so I had to call it quits!
Anyway…that is my attempt! I am SO going to try it again!!
Things here are still going well! We had a WONDERFUL weekend with our sassy girl…maybe she is on the upside of this horrible phase!! Say a little prayer, would ya?! I am not sure how much more of her naughtiness I can handle!! Huntler was his usual, easy going self all weekend! Just got a little wound up on Saturday afternoon because of too much pop and candy!! I am sure he is not the only kid who was sugar happy this weekend!!
Well, it is late and I am wearing down!! I think I’ll gather up my stuff and head up to watch Desperate Housewives on DVR. Anyone else love that show?!! I wasn’t sure if I would be able to get into it since they fast forwarded FIVE years between last season and this season, but I am glued to my TV each week to watch it!!
