into the woods.

today was a 5 kid day.

i hate 5 kid days.

not having the 5 kids,

but the fact that mine always act like

they've never been around other people!

we picked up the oldest cousin at a camp

held at maize south hs

and stopped at my new favorite photo spot.

don't ask me where it is,

cause i don't want to share.

(well, if you're out of town i'll share.

and i'll share with you, sarah shah.

but that's it. ; ))

it was a dark and cool day today in wichita.

the storm at 4 am woke jus and i up.

since the field was void of huge bees today,

the kids ventured in it and did some "flower" picking.

and "flower" wearing.

aiden is always trying to keep up with his big cousins.

he had to pick flowers, too.

all of his flowers were pulled up,

roots intact.

by no means was this shot intended.

emily and aiden couldn't seem to stand with their cousins

long enough for me to get focused.

they kept running back and forth to me.

(if you look behind emily, her cousin brendon is trying to hold

on to aiden. squirrelly boy.)

so when emily came up i asked about her flowers.

all ya gotta do is ask.

they're happy to show them to you. :)

my shots of brendon and aiden were quite grainy.

we hit a dark spot in the woods and i haven't figured out

what setting my camera needs to be on for that type of thing.

however, when you get these two boys to stay still long enough,

you use whatever photos you can get!!

brendon is a.d.d. and has terrets

(not the shouting profanity type, but the kind with ticks...

he blinks his eyes a million times,

so getting an open eye shot is a miracle)

and aiden is trying out for brendon's a.d.d. club.

good grief.

they both have the prettiest eyes and i love to capture them.

i start my photo class on wednesday.

wednesday cannot get here fast enough!

side note to leslie-- 5 kids went into the woods. 5 kids came out. just saying.
