The Higby Gang 365 in 2011: E

A 2011 Challenge

Last year, a bunch of ~~my friends~~ the blogs I follow challenged themselves by taking a picture everyday in 2010. I'm not sure where the "resolution" came from, but I enjoyed looking at their life through their camera lens. And have decided to try it myself this year. I think it'll be a good way to get more familiar with my DSLR camera (which I currently use as if it's a "Point-and-Shoot") and will hopefully help me get back to blogging without the pressure of having to write more than a sentence or two. I can't promise that the pictures will be POSTED every day, but they will be TAKEN each day.

UPDATE: (October 2011) My laptop died back in March. It took a looooooong time to get it back. I'm working on uploading pictures I took while I was computer-less. But I'll be honest...there definitely wasn't 1 picture a day. Maybe next year...

6/29/11 - Seeing Double

It's not always fun having a Yankee fan for a mother. Especially when you're going to Summer Bible Club in Red Sox country!

6/28/11 - Chickens, Chickens, Chickens...Look at all those Chickens

I can't really comment on this picture...it makes me laugh too hard...

6/16/11 - Exhaustion

I love this picture! This is clearly the point when the sugar high of the last day of school party has worn off and collided with the beautiful 80 degree day and subsequent 2 hours on the playground. There is no fake sleeping in this picture.

5/15/11 - Safety First

Really? What can I say? This is what happens when Dad's in charge...

5/13/11 - More Trains

E still loves trains! And this day, we went to Van Saun Park and rode their train. BIG hit!

4/27/11 - Bubbles

E loves bubbles.

4/24/11 - The Hunt

You'd be amazed how long it took all 5 of them to find this egg.

4/19/11 - Tired Swimmers

Guess who had their first swim lessons today? And guess who couldn't stay awake for the 10 minute drive home...

4/17/11 - Naptime

3/31/11 - Always a Project

E is the king of projects. Any toy broken...and battery dead...any tool he can find...

3/26/11 - A Boy and His Train

E loves...no loves...no LOVES...trains. So when he topped off his token tower, there wasn't a doubt in my mind that he'd ask for a new train.

3/23/11 - Exhaustion

After 2 straight days of water rides and not nearly enough sleep, the kids are ready for a sleepy car ride home from Great Wolf Lodge.

3/19/11 - The Last Day of Winter

It's chilly...very chilly...but the kids are still thinking about yesterday's 74 degrees. So we're jumping on the trampoline in our undershirts...again. Because it was so much fun yesterday!

3/18/11 - The End of Winter

We are SO excited to be done with winter! And what a way for it to end: 74 degrees and sunny! Lunch outside today!

3/15/11 - Boom Shacka Lacka

The boys in our house like to wrestle. They like to jump on each other. And their favorite landing site is Daddy! It's a simple game of "Boom Shacka Lacka": slap your forearm and elbow a few times, jump off the couch, run across the Family Room, and jump on Daddy's stomach...landing on your knees.

I love the expression on Shane's face...

3/14/11 - Rub-a-dub-dub

E and C were having such a blast tonight in the tub. They were throwing water on each other and couldn't get enough of it. Meanwhile, Little Miss A is obliviously playing with her own tub toys. Precious!

3/11/11 - Who Needs a Playground?

We've had a lot of rain the last few days. A lot! And it has been SUCH a long winter. Today, the sun is out. So I told the triplets we could play on the school playground when we went to pick up the big kids. Before we could actually get to the playground, we were slightly distracted by the storm drain and the massive puddles around it. The triplets were SOAKED before Z and T ever stepped foot out of school.

3/10/11 - We Love to Wii

I finally found a Wii game the triplets can grasp and do on their own: Nickelodeon Fit. They love it. It's all their favorite characters and it's games that make sense to their level. I know I sound like a commercial, but I'm really just a happy mom. It's frustrating to hear "I wanna play Wii.." all day. Especially since I can't just let them play, they get frustrated that the car's going the wrong way in Mario Kart and they definitely can't play Madden Football on their own. So now, they can hoola-hoop, jump rope, and skateboard while I eat lunch in peace!

3/2/11 - The Only Way to Play Doh

I hate playdoh. HATE. No really...H. A. T. E.

So, with the sun and slight warmer temps...this is how I handled the incessant begging to play with playdoh today.

2/28/11 - Their Imagination Is Great

T went to the doctor today. (He has strep and will miss school again tomorrow to make sure he's had a full 24 hours of Rx before he returns...I'm a rule follower...you're welcome parents of 1G.)

Anyway, A and E heard me mention it...and that's all it took. They played quietly in A's room for at least an hour taking turns being the patient.

Who's going to tell E that you can't hear a heartbeat through a belly button?
