Me and my kiddos...

I feel like it's been a rough few days. I was in a weird mood yesterday, I felt down and irritated and frustrated by pretty much everything my kids did, or didn't do all day. Last night with Asia was horrendous, she decided that she didn't want to sleep from before 2am to sometime after 4am, so she stood up in her crib and cried and cried and whined, whilst we desperately tried to ignore her. This wasn't easy though, as her crib is in our room at the end of our bed, and she happens to be rather loud. So today I decided that in spite of my tiredness I needed to have some fun with my kids AND take some photos to boot. It was either that or get sent to the insane asylum :)

I have a friend, who is a brilliant photographer (Amy at http://amyschuff.blogspot.com/), who decided a couple of months back to make sure she took at least one photo a week with her and her kids. So often I have complained that I'm never in the photo, because I'm always the one behind the camera and I thought this was a great idea. To just get out the tripod and remote and get on and do it! So, although I haven't been doing it every week, it has spurred me on to do it every now and again...so my kids can look back at photos and see that I was actually a part of their lives.
