yesterday was a bad day. really. really. bad.

7am

wake up with a headache. luckily my son is the cutest creature on the entire planet and he woke up in a good mood and made me feel all better.

unfortunately daughter does not wake up in a good mood and she puts up such a fight when i attempt to brush her hair that i just let her go to school looking like a hobo. luckily i love her more than life so she can get away with it.

8am

start tackling email.

attempt to put together a new ordering system for my website that requires a little more computer knowledge than i have. actually a lot more computer knowledge than i have.

waste half my day because i totally failed at the ordering system attempt.

3:30pm

senior session.

finally day is getting better! beautiful girl. lots of wind. great sunlight.

oh wait……..  car key falls out of pocket sometime during shoot in the hood around the train tracks.

day is not looking so hot again. luckily the senior and her mom and her little sister and her sister in law are angels and i adore them and they helped me search for that key until we found it right as the sun was disappearing.

7pm

pick up kiddos and really unhealthy fast food to feed us for dinner because husband is never home now that baseball season has begun.

son has melt down in bathtub because he can not find his disney rookie car to play with in bathtub.

9pm

way past kids bedtime yet we are still up making “brownie pops” for daughters late valentines day celebration at school.

plan a.

bake brownies in cute little mini rounded muffin pan. put on sucker stick. dip in chocolate. put on red and pink sprinkles then let harden and wrap up in adorable valentines day themed bags.

sounds fool proof.

not so much.

brownies stick to silicone baking mold. brownies fall off of stick. chocolate is everywhere and will not dry and harden on brownie. mess. big big mess. sprinkles all over floor.

put kids to bed because i am about to lose my mind.

move on to plan b.

bake two batches of plain old brownies.

one batch comes out hard as a rock. inedible.

cut up edible brownies into 15 little squares and package up for daughter to take to school in the morning.

bad day over!

awesome.

but no no no wake up this morning to find out that daughter has a few more than 15 kids in her class so we end up ditching the brownies so no one will be left out.

i know it could be a lot worse though trust me.

none the less here are a few images from a couple i recently photographed. they make me smile and i could really use one of those right now.
