Now, if you’re really observant and good at math and stuff, you might recognize that there are more than 7 days worth of photos here. It’s because I’m doing a photo a day thing for August and the weeks don’t line up the right way and *sigh* it hurts my slightly OCD brain a little bit. So, I just made it a 10 day week. I feel a bit more at ease.
August 1
These were all over the place on our walk. Anyone know what they’re called? I pretty much know nothing about nature except for what it does to my sinuses.
August 2
We filled up his little pool while he was napping (he wasn’t actually napping, but sitting in his bed screaming at his stuffed animals instead) and threw him in there while it was still freezing cold. See how much he cared?
August 3
It was probably a billion degrees outside, and he wanted to wear a fur hat. Let’s hope he’s this cooperative when it’s a billion degrees below zero in a few months.
August 4
My kid, he wakes up every morning with quite the “I own the world” attitude. Can you tell? It’s subtle.
August 5
My cat, he wakes up with quite the “If I owned the world I’d kill you first” attitude. Also subtle.
August 6
He was not feeling well AT ALL that day. Allergies. Nature. Our nemesis. But he tore into a bowl of macaroni and cheese like it was his last meal.
August 7
Feeling better and ready to take on the park!
August 8
I’m trying really hard to learn how to use the available light to get the most out of my photos. And the sun coming through those trees was too good to pass up. My subjects weren’t as thrilled as I was.
August 9
Oh you know, just checking for a good sale on ice cream.
August 10
So I made these cupcakes (from a box, because it’s easy and I have no shame) and topped them with some homemade chocolate cream cheese frosting. Why have I not been putting chocolate in my cream cheese frosting my whole life? Rocked my existence. Eating some off a spoon right now. Probably need to get checked for diabetes soon. Anyway,Β I really had no intention of taking a picture so I did this on a whim. Food photography is hard, ya’ll. Who put that shiny turd on top of my cupcake?
How was your week? Take any fun photos? I’d love to see them!

He looks so happy in the pool. The cat is really not impressed, and really looks like he wants to cause bodily harm. watch out for that one! π .
