The girl 'n Me : 3/52

Sorry for the watermark. I dont do it to protect me. but to protect the girl. and it falls wherever. I just try for it not to ruin the photo too much

So today.. well yesterday.. I had planned a valentine photoshoot.. but she was sick.. plus i forgot my big memory cards at home (yes, all THREE of them)
I just took this week's photo.
Funny thing though. the girl is so used to me taking her photo that I was near where we take photos usually, I say "cloé, can you please come here one second?" she said "ooh we'll take photos?" and immediately took the chair (sp?) to put here where i do usually. I had to explain that no, no picture of her alone today, just some of both of us. she asked why no more photos a few time. go explain to a 3 years old that you have a card that can only have 10 photos in insead of the others where I can take up to like 2000 photos if i want to.
So I got there at 9h30. K and her mom went shopping. we watched tv, played, took today's photos.
they came back at 1. we ate pizza. then we watched sme more tv. K and her mom when to the lutin. her mom came back then had to run again. so we read stories with Cloé. she slept from 3-5 I think. Their mom was late so she called to see if i could pick K up. So here we went with C who got up 2 minutes ago. I tell her "hurry up girl we're gonna pick your sister up!" and she said "ooh I'm happy we're gonna pick my sister" ( Ahh je suis bien contente qu'on ait chercher Kassandra) [I'm sure i'll scrap this someday. gotta remember what she said exactly.. that was too cute! lol]
K had fun at the Lutins. she said she'll go back next week.

Anyways, today's photos =)
they're kinda boring. once i get my remote camera in late february I hope they'll be more creative !

Us "Normal"


"show your tong REALLY big Cloé !"


"Smile HARD girl!"


"pretty please, hug me hard" I didnt realise then but later that day I was grateful for that biiig hug because I had a bad, bad night


another Hug Photo. kind of missed us. but i love, love, love this. precious little girl that she is too.

loooove that pic of Maurane. I'll try and post about christmas tomorrow! and photos too. because if I wait too long I'll forget.

The Girl 'n Me : 2/52

Almost didnt take today's photo.. yeah.. already.
And I have a hard time remembering what we did.. what 6hrs of sleep will do to you i tell ya!

So today.. Was supposed to be there at 6.. yeah.. in the MORNING.. I was supposed to shower the day before, and get all my stuff ready. that just did not happen. So i got up at 5.30, and did all the things i was meant to do the day before. So I was there at 6.10 .. the girl wasnt awake already though thanks god!
So I slept on the cough until she got up.
she woke me up at 7h20, and then almost already asked if I washed the dishes.. lol. I told her last thursday that I was going to do that after she was asleep at night.. guess she didnt forget!
We stayed on the cough until 7h40 because i needed to really wake. then we hate breakfast. and then watched TV. we watched Peter Pan2. then i dressed her. she cryed for a whole HALF AN HOUR because of that. at the end I was just so tired of it I made her come out of her room (she wouldnt come outta there) and put her in the corner telling her to let me know when she was done crying. she cryed for another 5 mins there. then she wanted an apple. it's 11 by that time. she never touched her apple. we draw.. she can do the C quite well! except she does it backwards. And she can do the O too! And the L one time out of 2. the E looks more like a H at this point lol.
We hate lunch then she played some more then she went to bed..
She slept 1h30. not so bad. While she slept I scrapped :)

We also watched the videos I made of her a while back. she loved these =)
I didnt even take a lot of photos today. about 25 or so. those of her and me include.

After she got up we did drawings some more and then at 3h30 her parents were home.
here is today's photo, between drawing sessions =)
It's not a nice quality, didnt feel like getting the external flash out, so it was at ISO1600.. and lets be honest.. I had to edit myself because trust me I looked even WORSE than showing in this photo..


Until next week!

scrapping stuff

i made quite a few pages today! I love scrapbooking. it's like my stress outlet or something. I'll maybe make another page today, but for now, this is it :)
the 1st i actually made like a week ago. but i'm always feeling bad when scrapping during my exams so i didnt post it then lol


this one i did today.. trying to get last year's album done :)


this will most likely be this year's album cover.


this one i didnt post yet in the galleries.. will probably do tommorrow.


for credits, check my gallery! link on the side.

having a bad day today =(
I need to post about christmas week, and I will, soon. I hope.
But 2008 has sucked SO bad so far that I cant find the energy to do so ='(
I'll make it for next week though! i hope!

The girl 'n Me : 1/52

Deciced to take one photo of Miss C and me per week. just because i have no creative photos of her since like 6 months and i hope that'll bring my creativity back :)
I though at first to do a Miss C every week alone, but lets be honnest, I did that for at least the past 2 years without even thinking about it so yeah.. it might be too easy lol.

So here.. this is us yesterday.
I got there at 8h30. I was a little late. I'm always a little late. I babysat thurs night through fri morning so I though she would cry when her parents leaved.. because well that what she did last time i babysat overnight. but she didnt. we watched the Simpsons until about 10 (they have a DVD) and then i went to dress her up. she was not interested in being dressed up so after 10 mins of "can you please remove your pant?" i just took her and made it myself. she cryed, but she cryes one out of 2 times when i dress her anyways. K then watched a DVD and we took photos of Cloé on the living room. then i had that idea to do a photo like Brenda Acuncius and took her "school boots" and we took photos. here is one :

and then we took her Dora boots (so rain boots) and took photos like that too. then we went out and shearched for .. hmm like water on the floor? cant remember the english name.. anyways there is ALWAYS that here.. after all we're in Belgium and it rains like all the time. there was about none there. we played inn a little one. and we stayed about 10 mins top outside lol. then we got home and it was about 11h50 so we played and then ate. we also went back at mine 'cause i forgot lunch. just 5 mins though. then it's naptime. So I read her stories until she falls asleep. she did not this time. K came and listened to stories with her. after an hour of I wont sleep, we got up and played. then I put Peter Pan for her. after it was done she wanted another and I said no. she had had enough TV. so she cryed. and then came to realize I was not going to put another so she played. then we listened to "Garre Aux Cons". she loves that damn song. then I was feeling REALLY bad so we put Pinnocchio on so she would be nice. and when it was done we played again a little and then watched some of The Simpsons (this time on TV.. when it's on on Club RTL..) and then their mom came back.. at 8. and I came back.. still feeling sick. but overall it was a nice day. Miss C was such a sweetie yesterday.
Anyways, here is yesterday's photo =)
us, while we were out

until next week !

Getting around to edit A's photos. finally. And noticed this one. I love it when there's catchlights like that in the eyes!

Laura, since you asked.. lol!
My mom took these pics. it was a pain though.. I was doing all the settings right on her and then I would take place where she was to get the same light and I would have to tell her where i wanted the photo to start and end, etc. those are the ones i like out of about 100? lol!
And I would totally LOVE it if you take some pics of me. I'm sure you would do a super job and that i'ld like your pics better than these =)

well

i didnt write in here in what seems like forever.
I dont have anything interesting to say that's why.
went back to spain.
came back from spain.
had an awfully boring time in said spain.

came back to pass my exams.
did pass 3. 4 to go.
missed 3 of them already. oops
oki i'm just blah so this will have to do for now.

Léa I'll send the other address to you next time i catch you on AIM! it was the blog that was on this address before but now i changed it.. because too much IRL friends were starting to know my pseudo, so could easily figure out this blog address, and i dont really want them to see that blog (the other).. lol.
hugs!

This Kid

he knows the way to my heart. i swear he knows! haha. easy enough. let me take pics and i'll do anything. sure i know the way to his too. CANDY. haha.



So while tom was here last week we too a lot of pics. =D you wouldnt have guessed.
but actually sometimes he was ASKING me to take pics. which i of COURSE loved. it's the kid that hated my camera a year ago. and by hated i mean heck.. HATED. so "marraine" doesnt want to do something (like ya know.. go outside at 9AM when you still semi asleep cause you are not used anymore to get up at EIGHT) and he tells you "we're gonna take pics?" then well.. you just HAVE to say yes. and it works basically with anything. so the kid got to do more things than usually allowed, like go on this scary thing (cant remember the name of this thing.. like a wall? lol ok that was not that.. ya get the idea.. or not). i got lots (and lots) of cute pics. and even more crappy ones of course. because i suck i photography sometimes. but shhhhhhhh it's only when i'm tired.. well lets say that. haha.
sure i sometimes had to beg (and well.. bribe) to get him to do something i wanted but it was SO nice to have someone who actually asked me to take pics. i want more "models" like that !! (cause yeah.. did i ever tell that the 3 kiddos are my personnal and not so willing - wait.. tom does not really belong in the "not so willing" category anymore =D - models). no one older than 4 that i know is letting me taking their picture (ok so some i just never asked.. cause i'm too chicken haha). when i get someone to pose for me.. it's usually after HOURS of begging that i get them to. and it's not so fun cause their faces are.. oh to say this.. not so.. nice? ahh my poor family.

ok the point was tom. lol. so sometimes i begged, sometimes i bribed, sometimes he was posing by himself. i NEED to get these pics printed.
k so too much thoughs for 11 PM. will prolly talk about the other thing i wanna talk about tomorrow (which will be less boring too. i guess?)

ok 2 more pics.. just because.. (the 1st in color & b&w.. just because i cant make a decision to save my life right now..)

Me...

and yeah.. just some boring posts basically. changed the address to the main blog.. if you wanna know the address, either PM or IM and i'll give you the other address.. if I trust you enough! haha. here it will be mostly "happy" posts (that will also be in the other blog!) that dont really mean anything at all really.

posted some of the posts that were i though great enough to be posted here. some i removed so much "bad stuff" from that i feel like it doesnt make any sense anymore. hahaha.
later!

...

AAM = All About Me (donc en gros je fais un album avec des choses a propos de moi, des trucs que j'ai écri et tout.. les pages genre celle "they think i am.." vont dans cet album. je les poste sur internet que quand c'est des "assignements", toute facon ces pages sont assez basiques pour la plupart. je veux que le focus soit sur le texte), CT = Creative Team (des designers de digi scrap kits ont des personnes comme sa qui ont leurs kits gratuits et qui en échange font des pages avec leurs kits. la plupart des layouts que je poste sont fait avec des kits comme sa parce que pour les autres je suis très nulle pour les faire arriver jusqu'a mes digi galleries lol), et LO = layout (donc une page de scrapbook). just so ya know!

so yeah.. most likely will write this in parts... because i need to write. i really need to. but.. well.. yeah.. lol

my grandpa came over earlier today. no idea he was coming. he kind of scared me. haha.

i want a new lens. maybe i'll ask it for christmas. maybe. lol. ok probably not.. or maybe i'll ask them to help me pay for it.. i want a wide. but now.. if i dont babysit cloé as often i wont be abble to take pics as often and the lens would be useless..

i need to find someone to do a photoshoot. someone WILLING (so yeah.. someone who is older than 4. lol) and that will follow me in my crazy ideas. lol. a girl can dream right? haha

i so CANT wait till gé move onto her house. will me in more than a year though probably. i cant wait. i really cant. because she's such a pain.

i dont want to go back in spain. at all. because i hate spain. i just want to stay home. and be alone (well almost.. gé will be there). i just need to get away from my parents. thanks god there is an internet connection in there. lol.

i need to be creative when leaving comments on digi galleries. i feel like i'm always leaving the same comments . lol. which is kinda true. lol.

i need to download grey's anatomy. but it's driving me crazy cause it's taking wayyyyyyy too much time.

can ya see i'm avoiding talking about something? haha

i'll talk about it really. soon. really soon. later today. on this post. i guess.

i'm gonna continue the AAM album today. i'm hoping to be caugh up by the end of this week. that'll most likely not happen.. oh well..

ok gotta go! Tom is coming! 2 days with the kid. only learned that 2 mins ago. of course free babysitting. ahh what happens when you cant say NO even though you're wayyy tired!

My Lil Boy

well ok.. he's not really mine. lol

took a whole lot of Tommy pics today. what i've seen so far is pure CRAP. didnt check it all yet though. will see if i have a few keepers out of all the pics i took today (which is a LOT).

Just need to "talk"

dont have anything to say but i need to write. not sure about what. yet.
will continue the AAM album later today.
dont have any assignements to do scrappin wise (sp?) so i'll just have fun with some quick LOs that will most likely never end up in galleries. because when i scrap usually i dont think. well. i dont think about whats driving me crazy. and that feels good. really.
i need to sleep. i am way tired. for no reason at all. really. since i sleep about 11 hrs/night i shouldnt be that tired. lol.
i need to call the girls to tell them i cant go to the cinema on sat. as i'm babysitting cloé. and Kassandra. not looking forwards to baby sitting K though.
I wanted to baby sit Tom but.. blah. lol. i'm just so tired that i dont feel i can deal with him.
talking of tom. got some cute pics of him last sunday on my birthday. hold on (lol) i'll edit one now.

ok so.. maybe it's not so great. plus i edited it in a funky way. but it's all i've got so it'll have to do. for now.
I really need to do a Tom LO soon! poor kid didnt have any lo done for him since like feb or something? good thing he's not aware of that. lol.
i need to do a Luca LO too.. maybe i'll do both tonight. but first i want to work on the AAM album.
ok so i have other things i want (and need) to talk about. but not today. or well.. maybe later. just not right now.
