Sunday Sunday February 20th
Sunday Scavenger Hunt :
Chocolate, Canned Food, Music, Stack and Numbers.
and of course my photos for days 44 – 50 of 365!
Sunday 44/365 Stack
We picked up Girl Scout Cookies on Sunday
and we stacked them up for our annual picture
of Abby with ALL the cookies she sold…
we make personalized Thank You cards out of the picture!
It is a huge hit with her customers!! =)
Monday 45/365
Valentines day dinner for my man!
Salmon marinated in soy sauce, maple syrup & garlic… served with Thai rice noodles (same sauce) and asparagus with Parmesan! um… I cheated on my gluten free diet a tiny bit with the soy… I need to buy GF soy sauce!! =)
the best part about this meal… is the salmon on day 2 with mayo on toasted bread.. I used gf bread… broiled for a few minutes to warm it up… YUM!
Tuesday 46/365 Music
Abby had a chorus concert Tuesday night ~ 5th graders, middle schools and high school ~ all together ~ she wasn’t feeling very well that night ~ poor monkey ~ It was an hour and a half and the 5th graders only sang 2 songs!! that um… Harry Potter look alike in the back ground was in the boys choir… I think he knows he looks like Harry and played it up a bit… =) After the concert… It was fun to hear many other people say …”he looks like Harry Potter”… made me feel less alone for thinking the same thing!! What do you think?? (I was very sly taking this picture of him behind Abby… sorry about the quality of this one)
Wednesday 47/365 Chocolate (box) *wink*
Charlie was featured in the Whitman’s chocolate factory this year!
My children LOVE Charlie!! So I sneaked 2 of these into my cart when I had Sammy with me… only come to find out after sneaking and buying them… I only bought one Charlie box… the front box had the dog… the one behind it had a kitty!! oops! … which Abby loves… whew…. I thought she would be sad Sammy got Charlie and she didn’t… but she knows… it really isn’t Charlie anyway… I am sure y’all wanted to hear that story!
For the record: I am sure Whitman’s don’t even know who Charlie is!! =)
my real chocolate pics didn’t turn out… so you get the box… I am fighting a nasty cold/sinus something this week… not so into photography this week… *sigh*
Thursday 48/365 Numbers
Merlin stole Sammy’s favorite ruler off his desk this week… Sammy uses it as a number line for math! It took me a long time to get it out of his mouth…Sammy was not impressed that half way through the battle I stopped to grab my camera and regain myself from laughing so hard!! We had to cave and offer treats to get it out of his mouth… Apparently Merlin really wanted to have it!!
Friday 49/365 Canned Food
Abby is working on a Science project: Which treat does our cat like best?
Wet cat food, tuna, moist pounce or dry pounce? she needed pictures for her Science data board… Canned Cat Food! I was too tired and worn out from this dang cold to try very hard this week… simple is good… =)
Saturday 50/365
Mr. Mc Efficent managed to sneak in a lawn mowing today… In FEBRUARY! It isn’t the first time this has happened in Washington!! Last year we had a couple glorious weeks of lovely weather in February!! So I have seen this happen twice in my life now… crazy!!
The grass was wet from yesterday’s rain… but he set the mower high and managed to get it cut shorter.. which is great b/c it is growing already! =) Don’t be too jealous if you are still under snow… it is still pretty cold here… and we will have LOTS more rain and maybe even snow before Spring really arrives!! =) It Always snows here in April or May… Always… sometimes just a dusting… sometimes a 24 hour snow… but it always snows in spring… mark my words!!
We even had a bee visit today… I hope Merlin is not allergic to bees… b/c I think he will try to eat them this summer… I just have this feeling…
if you look closely you might see the dog slobber on the window!~
No Merlin! don’t eat bees!! bad dog!
I do however encourage him to eat spiders… is that bad? =) he ate one off the wall for me this week… I hate spiders!! ew… and he ate it alive… eeeeew!! but I didn’t have to kill it… good dog Merlin??? =)
Tomorrow the forecast is rain… no matter… I am stuck inside with my nasty cold & sore throat… at least I won’t feel bad missing out on Sun… right?!! =)
Have a great week folks!
Until Next Time!
Jenn~

The ruler picture is too cute 🙂 …and holy cow is that a lot of Girl Scouts cookies!!
You asked about the ’28’ in lights. Slow shutter speed, dark room, flashlights and willing kids. Fun to mess around with 🙂
Have a great Sunday!

Yes, he does look like Harry Potter, good looking fella. What stole my heart though, is your photo for numbers. Love it!

Great takes on the prompts this week. When I saw your processed food shot I thought oh no who would eat turkey giblets – I was so relieved when I saw that it was cat food!

Love the idea of the thank you cards with a picture of her and the cookies! Your green grass looks wonderful. I’m counting the days until ours is back.

The nose on the window is so much fun! I also like the one with the ruler.

Nice set of photos. Your daughter sold a lot of cookies!
February 20th, 2011 saat: 12:29 pm
Love your shots this week! How sweet that your daughter does thank you cards with her picture! And the numbers shot is absolutely adorable (and the story is hilarious!). Oh and you do know superstition says if you kill a spider, it will rain. I’m not superstitious though … just sayin’. 🙂
February 20th, 2011 saat: 12:38 pm
really love all of your photos! Especially the first one… I was always a Girl Scout and love cookie time! I’m really impressed that you do thank you notes, that’s a very creative way to do it! I also the one your dog with the ruler– and it’s so funny that you stopped in the middle to take a picture. It’s a great shot, and so worth it!
February 20th, 2011 saat: 12:54 pm
Your chocolate and numbers shots are so much fun!! Love your stack photo as well!
February 20th, 2011 saat: 12:55 pm
We have a pretty good stack of those cookies here, but we bought them! 🙂
Love the cans against the blue.
February 20th, 2011 saat: 1:10 pm
just answering your question – we live in south louisiana where we have nice springs and falls, but brutal summers!
February 20th, 2011 saat: 4:46 pm
Wow, these were fun. I love girl scout cookies!! Thanks for stopping by today♥
February 20th, 2011 saat: 5:31 pm
Great photos. Love the ruler photo.
February 20th, 2011 saat: 9:00 pm

I have yet to see a box of girl scout cookies.
The canned food made me smile.
February 20th, 2011 saat: 9:13 pm
Wow, that dinner looks amazing. Great job!
That’s a TON of Girl Scout cookies!!
What a little cutie dog 🙂

Thanks for stopping by my blog..:)
That boy does look like Potter!!!! Does he have girls running after him because of the resemblance???
February 21st, 2011 saat: 12:36 am
What a great post! Love your numbers one…so cute!
February 21st, 2011 saat: 2:28 am
Hi Jenn. I love the shot with the dog holding the ruler!
Thank you for your comment. The baskets are handmade, but not by me! I live in Nigeria (West Africa) and these are very common here.
February 21st, 2011 saat: 6:30 am
So cute and I agree the photos are wonderful! We have been doing our part in supporting the Girl Scouts… so hard not to eat all those cookies!
February 21st, 2011 saat: 7:13 am
Great shots. Now I am wondering if I ordered enough Girl Scout Cookies! 🙂
February 21st, 2011 saat: 8:57 am
Lawn mowing???? Our lawn is buried under several feet of snow!
Love the girl scout cookie photo!
February 21st, 2011 saat: 9:39 am
Fun post! Abby and the girl scout cookies–wow! That’s A LOT of cookies!
And, that meal looks awesome… yum!
Haha, to the dog and the ruler. I think you need to get some Cesar Milan dvds and go to work on that dog, ha! 🙂
February 21st, 2011 saat: 11:42 am
Oh my gosh, I LOVE the idea of using that picture for thank you cards! (And now I really really wish I had another box of somoas, YUM!) 🙂 Also, your Valentines day dinner looks so good! I can’t remember what we even had, I think Matt might have been in charge of doing dinner and in that case it was pizza. 😉
February 21st, 2011 saat: 11:43 am
Hey girl!
Love your shots! Especially the numbers one and stack. Great job!
I’ve missed your blog, I found you again through the Scavenger Hunt! Yay!!
February 21st, 2011 saat: 12:25 pm
ooh my gosh I miss girl scout cookies sooo much (we don’t have those in New Zealand!) Know any girl scouts that ship cookies internationally? 🙂
February 21st, 2011 saat: 12:59 pm
WOW, that is A LOT of cookies. I think the picture idea is AWESOME!!!
February 21st, 2011 saat: 1:25 pm
Great photos this week! 😀
My dog doesn’t eat spiders… but my cats do. Spiders, flies… pretty much anything, actually. As long as I don’t have to clean up leftover bits, I’m happy they do. 😉
February 21st, 2011 saat: 9:19 pm
WOW! She sold a LOT of cookies, and what a neat idea to use the photo as a thank you card! Oh and that dinner looks delish!
February 21st, 2011 saat: 10:46 pm
That little Merlin!! I tell ya! I’m feelin’ your pain!! Great photos this week! Your valentine dinner looked yummy!
