Scavenger Hunt Sunday {11•18•12}

Vision 

I am in love with Jonah's beautiful blue eyes! I have always had 20/20 vision, for which I am SO grateful! Though I have to admit that occasionally I wish I could see into the future just a little ways. You see, this week Jonah has to have two of his baby teeth pulled, which makes me a bit nervous (not to mention how nervous Jonah is about the whole thing!). Hopefully it won't be a big deal and he will be back to his adorable, smiling self soon.

 Strong 

This week was pretty stormy and we had quite a few days with very strong winds. Consequently, there are almost no leaves on the trees anymore!

Buttons 

I have a whole stash of mother-of-pearl buttons that I inherited from my grandmother, so I guess you could say they are vintage!  I love how colorful and shiny they are.

Map 

My boys absolutely love puzzles, so what better way to teach them geography than to have them work on map puzzles? I figure the best place to start is close to home, so the map puzzle we own is of the USA.

Favorite Fruit 

I love all kinds of fruit, but my favorite kind is definitely berries. So I decided to try photographing some strawberries in seltzer water. I have to say that it is a lot harder than it looks! This is the best picture I got, and I am pretty proud of it.

    Your son's picture could also have been "cute as a button" - praying all goes well for both of you!

  14. I did a fizzy strawberry earlier this year - and yes, much harder than it looks - but oh so worth the effort. Absolutely love all those buttons. Great set of pictures and best of luck on your son's visit on his teeth. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

  16. Your photos are all amazing! The strawberry is absolutely stunning with those sparkling drops! Good Luck to Jonah (who has a wonderful smile). My Grands have had some teeth pulled due to crowding and it was no big deal.
