Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble.

Here we are at the end of another long weekend. Once again, I had grandiose plans to work on some projects, but it wasn't meant to be. I really don't know where all my time goes. I did, however, take some photographs (Noah's birthday party, the photos in this post and some still life / decorative stuff), so the weekend wasn't completely devoid of creativity. And then there's the new blog banner that I made tonight, which pretty much exhausted every shred that was left. Staring at that color green for a long period of time can be very hard on the eyes. I also have to mention that over the years I've gotten some serious mileage out of that Flower Ornaments font. It's very versatile!

You know, sometimes I actually think that I'm going to run out of things to photograph. And then right when I least expect it, a photo opportunity presents itself. My parents gave Lauren a bubble gun in her Easter basket. I had forgotten about it until this weekend when we were outside and I needed a break from the swing on the swings, play hide and seek, feed the fish circuit (Wait - maybe that's where all my time goes. I think I'm on to something...).

Well, the bubble gun is Lauren's new favorite thing. She played with it for hours. She shot bubbles into the sky, at the house, at me, at Daddy, at the dog. Lucky for Beavis, she's a house cat, or else she may have gotten a puss full of bubbles too. In total, we went through three bottles of bubbles.



As you can see, she is very serious about her bubbles. Very serious. This one makes me want to change the title of this entry to "Go ahead. Make my day."



But then, she can be very sweet too. I got this shot by pure luck. It happened so fast - the bubble literally popped just as I pressed the shutter release. I wish that I could have gotten more of her face in the shot, but I didn't have time to recompose.

(Note: I know that I am overdo in commenting on the American Idol finale. I figured since I would be experiencing withdrawl tomorrow night that it would be the perfect time to put my thoughts down. Maybe there will be more blog posts now that I'm free on Tuesday and Wednesday nights!)
