It’s taken me almost four weeks to shake the exhaustion that came hand in hand with my little bout of bronchitis. Four weeks when I had almost no energy, definitely not enough to pick up my camera and take pictures!
Today I found enough energy to take pictures and to bust out the PlayDoh. I had a blast watching the kids play and I love the pictures I shot. It was almost worth cleaning up all those teeny tiny little PlayDoh crumbs that covered the kitchen floor after they were done.

And so, for the first time in weeks, I bring you my Weekly Winners! (Don’t forget to click here to see all the other amazing entries!)

Though sometimes you need to flatten out your PlayDoh a bit.

And sometimes you need to give Dora a talking to.

If all else fails, just eat the PlayDoh.
That’ll teach it a lesson.

Working with bugs is sometimes more satisfying.

And way more successful.

Then, everyone needs a nice rest.
In a hammock. In January. Gotta love California.

The grown-ups rest first… while the kids nap.
(And yes, those are my pajama bottoms. Why do you ask?)

Then, when they get up, the kids need to cuddle with daddy.
In the hammock.

Yes. Both of them.
No favorites around here!

Tomorrow we’re pursuing our lazy (ridiculously warm and sunny) weekend at the beach. I’m hoping to get even more pictures. You know, despite the fact that we’re not taking the PlayDoh or the hammock with us.
