The kids are in a "game" phase - their favourite activity is playing Uno, Snakes and Ladders, The Ladybug Game or Pass The Pigs (seen here). Although Munchkin generally hijacks the pigs to play "farm" with them instead, which drives Monster craaaazy :)

I caught Monster quietly reading to Munchkin after he got home from playschool today. Moments like this do not last very long!

I wub this kitten :) I suppose she's not a kitten anymore (7 years old, haha). She has such a sweet face.

I hate to cook. Hate.it.with.a.passion.
My husband, on the other hand, really enjoys it. We watch the Food Network constantly, which always inspires him to create something new and unusual in the kitchen.
Today we tried polenta for the first time. I had no idea what it would taste like, but it was pretty good!

Monster: "Hey Mommy!"
Me, not looking up: "Yeah?"
Monster: "Look, we're monsters! Rawr!!"
Munchkin: "Yeah, I'm-a dottewr! Haha Mommy."
Me: *burst out laughing, grab camera*
They had soooooo much fun tonight with those tunnels.

My purple girl holding Purple Girl. That's her name. Sometimes she calls her Hakka (how she pronounces her own name) but otherwise it's just Purple Girl.

The sky looked so eerie tonight. Definitely wasn't northern lights... I'm betting aliens :)

My precious little man is a bundle of non-stop smiles and giggles these days. I can't get enough of him.

Munchkin asked me to take a picture of her today. I love how she holds out her pinky when she drinks, so refined.

New phone! We switched to a cell and ditched our landline, so now I have another gadget to familiarize myself with. Yay?

Mmmm bread :) I'm so domesticated now that I bake my own bread, almost every day. There's nothing like it.

I nearly forgot to take a photo today! Yikes. Not much interesting happening late at night, but Buster was sleeping so peacefully, he made a good subject.

This is one of my favourite photos I have ever ever shot. EVER. I think it might just have to go on a wall.

It occurred to me today that I haven't taken a self-portrait yet. As of now, that has been remedied - not only that, but you can see my lovely camera as well. Our relationship is growing stronger every day and we are becoming quite comfy with each other I think :)

Wheeee LIGHT TRAILS :) This was so much fun to shoot, sitting in the pitch black of my living room, fiddling with settings, waiting for cars to drive by. This image is actually a composite of three photos layered over one another.

Woke up this morning to ice fog and thick hoar frost outside. Everything is white and sparkly... so crisp and clean.

I can't wait until the weather is a little nicer and I can take pictures outdoors. I'm running out of inspiration!

This is the book I'm currently reading (for the second time):
The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul by Douglas Adams. I've read nearly everything he's written... he's insanely brilliant :)
Note: I'm extra proud of this photo - other than a minor brightening tweak, it is straight out of camera. No cropping, sharpening, color curving, nada. YAYLabels: 365

Shaking it up a little today with a more abstract-y photo... experimenting with shadow/light, curves/lines/shapes. This was taken in my kitchen - it's the table and a chair.

Mother Nature finally decided to give us poor prairie dwellers a hiatus from killer frigid temperatures... so we all bundled up and hit the slopes with toboggan in tow. And there's nothing like a mug of hot chocolate to warm you up after that kind of adventure :)

I'm not sure how it happened, but I've accumulated quite the little snowman tchotchke collection. I couldn't bear to put them away with all the Christmas decorations. Besides, it'll be wintery here for at least another three months!

I couldn't decide on just one photo today. So I fashioned a lovely triptych from my favourites :)

My furry children :)
It's rare to ever see them so peaceful in such close proximity... I had to try and capture the moment.
Shooting in low light was interesting - I experimented a lot in Manual to try and get a good exposure. I think I succeeded :)

Lining up toys is typical of how my eldest child plays. He was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder last year.

I de-Christmased the house today :( So sad.
Every year since the Boy and I have been together, we get a dated ornament for the tree. This was 2009 - the first Christmas for our littlest boy.
