Day 188 - Henry and Milly

Henry and I had a fun little photo session this morning in the yard. I took so many that I love, but I keep coming back to this one because it gives me a laugh! It somehow reminds me of the painting American Gothic by Grant Wood. What do you think? I don't know how I managed to snap Henry and Milly standing still together, because Milly really doesn't sit still much. I love how they both look so serious!

Day 120 - Time Management

Time management worked out really well today. Earlier in the week I had started painting the room with help from Glenda, I had spent some time another afternoon finishing off the first coat (except for the big section behind the very heavy bed) and then the project had stalled.

With Henry usually going down for his sleep at 12 noon, I coordinated things with Dale so that I was free to start painting at 11am. By noon, as I painted I listened to Henry singing away in bed to himself and listing all the people in our family (Mummmeeee.... Daaaddeeee..... 'Naa! - That's Jenna for those not in the know). By about 5 minutes to 1, he finally went quiet and slept for a peaceful two hours, just in time to wake when I was washing out the brushes.

I am really happy with how the room looks, but will wait until all the furniture is put back into place before taking photos.

Day 109 - An Early Night

It is very rare for me to have an earlyish night and it explains my lack of a good photo subject today, but because of a bad headache (the second this week) it was my only option when nothing was working to get rid of it! Maybe it is painting the spare room that does it... wondering if Dale should finish the job for me?!
