H is for Horrible Hair Day

Kindergarten is full of wonderful activities that allow the kids to express themselves and act silly. Friday was Horrible Hair Day after learning the letter H. We had to do our prep work the night before by sleeping in sponge rollers and picking out as many large colorful bows as we could find.

The kids were a sight to see as they came down the hallway each with a different signature look. The principal even made a surprise appearance in each classroom (even mine) wearing a rocker black and red wig that I loaned her.

Sorry the pictures are grainy. I am still learning to shoot pictures in manual mode so I don't have to use the harsh flash. Apparently, I still have some learning to do.

quiet moments

Every afternoon Cameron and I come home from school and she spends a little time playing before Dad comes home gets her all riled up. Here is one of those peaceful moments before the squealing and chasing ensues.

trying to learn better photography

I have been reading a photography blog written by a girl I worked with years ago in Abilene. My goal is to make myself a better amateur photographer. I obviously won't be quitting my day job anytime soon. Her lesson this week has been changing the focal point while shooting in manual mode. Here are my few attempts that were worthy of publishing.

First Goal

Cameron scored her first soccer goal. You can tell by her reaction that she isn't quite sure it really happened.
