Scavenger Hunt Sunday {Feb.5.2012}
I’ve been admiring Krista’s shots for a while now every Sunday when she participates in Scavenger Hunt Sunday – a little weekly photography exercise with prompts that you photograph however you wish to interpret them. I’ve always thought it would be fun to join in, but I’m so scatterbrained these days that I never remember to actually work on it through the week. Today though, I decided to just throw it together this morning before breakfast, with whatever I could find around the house. Also – I needed some pretty in my day after my flop of a blog post rant yesterday which garnered exactly zero comments. Bah humbug. Perhaps a little eye candy is more my readers’ style for today.
So, without further blah blah blah, here we are:

{The Prompts}
- Strike a Pose
- Footwear
- Hobby
- Shiny
- Colour me Green
{The Photos}
- {Strike a Pose} Well, having not even had a shower yet this morning I certainly wasn’t about to photograph myself. So, I decided to capture my kids in their natural state – lately these are the exact same faces I get every.single.time. I get out the camera. The smiles are kind of contagious, don’t you think?
{Footwear} With baby number three on the way and due in June, the footwear in this house that I find most exciting are the tiny little adorable newborn size shoes that are waiting for tiny scrumptious baby toes to fill them. PS, no we don't know the gender, but girl shoes are way more fun, let's be honest!
{Hobby} I am a true amateur at several different pursuits, which drives me nuts sometimes. I don't know if I'll ever be good enough at any of them to be called a professional. One of my most favourite things is writing, which I do on this keyboard.
{Shiny} The morning sun just sings its brilliance through my east-facing windows every morning (We are so lucky to have sunny blue skies almost year round. It totally makes up for the minus forty in the winter...). This is an antique candy dish which is part of a set that was given to me by my great-aunt before she died. I love the sunlight shining on my shelf of thrifted and antique dishes.
{Colour Me Green} While I seem to definitely possess the black thumb of death when it comes to houseplants, I am making a final last-ditch effort to revive these half-dead ones that I got from IKEA a couple of years ago. I always ALWAYS forget to water them, so I decided to keep them at my sink where I remember to give them water, under the windowsill with lots of brilliant sun. Miracles of all miracles - they are coming back to life, with more green and less brown every day 
I’m also linking up today with A Rural Journal‘s Sunday Best, where you can show off your best shot of the week, as well as The View From Right Here‘s Weekly Top Shot. I’m going to have to say that the shot of my kiddos is my fave (of course), but really I was pretty happy with all them, especially considering it was a total last-minute thing.
Anyone have any fun and cozy plans for today? What? There’s some sport thing going on? Oh, uh, right. I guess it’s a good excuse for yummy food…?
Thanks Beth ,I’m so glad you decided to join us and share at Weekly Top Shot
Those red baby shoes are the cutest (and yes, girls clothes are way cuter!)
Love the baby shoes!
Gorgeous photos…and i liked the way you captured the red shoes, just the perfect angle!
Where did you get the polka dot PJS? And Footsies to boot! I need to find me some of those ( For my kids of course…sadly it is not often I find some in their sizes anymore…but it’s worth a try:) So adorable. Enjoy!
I got them at an awesome Christmas-time sale at Children’s Place… they were $11.99. I think they have the footie pi’s until at least 5T. Not sure if that’s big enough. I know bigger ones exist, because my (grown-up) sister in law got some for herself for Christmas this year, haha!
That first shot is absolutely adorable – love that. Your shiny shot is gorgeous too.
Thanks so much!
I love this! I loved all the shots but especially the ones of your ridiculously cute kids in their jammies! Nothing beats jammie pics =). I hope you keep this up every sunday!
I also read yesterdays post a few minutes ago, and loved it, my brain is still to fried to make any sort of comment that would be worth reading on it though =)
Thanks Serena, I might just do it again! As for yesterday’s post, I’d love to hear your thoughts, but no pressure. I hope you are feeling better soon!!
Wow, I love that shot of the little red shoes! Will you consider entering it in my ‘Weekly Top Shot’ meme? We’re on Week #16 and I’d love to see you share with me and my readers! Here’s this weeks’ link: http://www.theviewfromrighthere.com/blog/?p=6115
Thanks for the invite, I linked up!
YEAH!!!! So glad you joined up! It’s so much fun, and addicting but it really is a nice little break from some of the heavier posts. Great job! Just lovin’ the strike a pose!!
It really is a great kind of light break. Yet not a bunch of fluffy crap either. Love it
Oh, those shoes are just precious. I hope you have a girl — because your son will look silly in them.
Thank you so much for sharing with us at Your Sunday Best, Beth.
Hahahahaha! Thanks for the giggle
Your kidlets are just as cute as ever! That is a pretty candy dish too!
I am tempted to join up with the SHS next weekend now that I have my cool camera!
Do it!!! You know you want to!
Yeah, do it! Your new camera shots on your blog were just lovely, by the way. I meant to mention that.
I love the shot of your kids – what great expressions on their faces! So fun! The colors in the candy dish shot are fantastic, too. Good luck with the writing!
Thank-you for the writing wishes… it’s very near to my heart.
I love the photos of the kids it creates happiness and natural light.superb.
Thanks! It’s definitely my most commented on photo today, which surprised me, but hey I won’t deny my kiddos are adorable
Love the one of the kiddos! Sleepers never get old & either does bed head
Yeah, the bed head was pretty dang awesome today. Time for a haircut I think
Your shots are really great! Those little red shoes are SO cute!! And so are your kids
Happy Sunday!
Thanks so much for visiting!
I really like your b/w hobby picture!
Thanks! I can’t decide if I love it b/c of what it represents or b/c I actually like the shot. I think both…?
Hahaaa… whoops. I really need to proof read! My name is Melanie not Melanir. Lol
LOVE your whole set! OMGoodness, those are some cute kiddos you have there! Congrats on baby 3, so exciting! Btw, those sweet lil red shoes make me want some adorb squishy baby girl toes to put in some too!
Happy Sunday from Happy Jax!
Thanks! Yeah those shoes do a number on me too. If I weren’t already pregnant, I’m sure they’d be dangerous to keep around
Happy Sunday to you too
