THEME THURSDAY AT CLAN DONALDSON

{pretty}

The theme this week was scarf or hat!  

I got spoiled with sunflare last week, so I had a hard time

figuring out scarf or hat in our South Texas weather!

The girls wanted to model this scarf, and I've been working on 

trying to get good shots in the backyard all week.

 Unfortunately the sun was in the wrong place so their eyes were a bit squinty.  

Not my best shots, but the {happy} ones are pretty good and should make up for it!

On my photography Facebook group, I was working towards 

getting "catchlights" (light reflections) in their eyes.  

I wasn't too successful at that either, but I think I got some sweet and happy shots 

of each of the kids, except maybe Steven Joseph.  

The boys aren't too cooperative with my picture-taking.  

But Thomas did want to pose so I got the cute one of him!

And Mary Clare took this happy shot of these two last night :-)

A collage of some funny and real moments taken on my phone this week...

 Top Row L-R: grocery helping, fascinated by the mustache on the king's face, 

and Mary Clare with her 5 MINUTE CURTAINS~

(Will have to try a tutorial on this, but it's basically cutting a top sheet in half, 

ripping the little seams to make the hanging part, and hanging it up!)

Middle row:  Blair B's Birthday Team for Color Me Rad 5K which was a blast, 

me in bed on my birthday wanting to sleep away the crazy day, 

and later a fun pizza birthday dinner.

Bottom row: Delicious Oreo cheesecake dessert shared with all the kids, 

another little Oreo fan, and morning kitchen play today
