Clair and stuff » 10 on 10 http://www.clairdevers.com A place for all things Clair. Enter at your own risk.

She was my Sony Vaio that I got in early 2007.  Sassy II is up and running. My lightroom works so much faster! With lots of help from my sweet MWD. Happy Clair! Many more pictures to come. I might even update my family website (WHAT??). June 10th was kind of boring. I tried not to take a bunch of work pictures since that is what I mostly did, but I still tried to find the beauty in my day.

The explanation: I learned about 10 on 10 from Alysha Gray (in January via Twitter, see my other 10 on 10’s) and believe it was started by Rebekah.  As Rebekah says “take a photo once an hour for ten consecutive hours on the tenth of each month. document a snapshot of your life and find beauty among the ordinary things of your day.”

Started my morning a little slow

work, work, work

Is every house littered with water accessories all summer? Or just mine?

Jack's on his second reading challenge of the summer

Loaded up for the weekend

Noah enjoys some light summer movie watching (Diary of Anne Frank)

Even I can enjoy a good sale

No amount of canned air could revive Sassy

I love my starches all soaked in oil and vinegar

back scratcher, baseball game & the remote was in his other hand. SIGH!

I started a new job this week and spent part of the day training. I didn’t exactly do these every hour. Mostly stuff from my house throughout the day.

New toys for the spring - cool!

Jack finished up his Valentine box - he's a big fan of decoupage!

I was devastated at first thinking I was going to lose years of pictures (there were tears). I’m pretty lucky though. MWD knows how important my photos are to me and has been working on it for hours. He has recovered all but the last few months. Which means I have lost the best 2/3 of our Disney trip, which is a big bummer – but overall a good result. I guess I need two external drives. One just for back up. 

Ramble, ramble – I got to do a 10 on 10 and edit it. Yay!

This was a present to myself. I heart this warmer and the snowberry scent - happy me.

There are still little reminders of our Disney World trip around the house. SO FUN!

Jack's neighbor buddy, Chandler, turned 5 today and he sweetly offered me a cupcake.

Two minutes after meeting Granny at her car, Jack was making himself at home.

Emily is very sweet to share her Granny with Noah and Jack a couple times a year. Granny is one brave lady! BTW - Notice Sister's new braces!

My hero, trying to cheer me up and fix everything.

Our crazy Christmas tree. I like the crazy.

Bonus pic:
my favorite picture from Disney World was on my cell phone, so at least I have that one!!

Only 17 days late – oopsie. It was a weird day for me all around; I wasn’t feeling the 10 on 10 experience. Also - I had to take a few with the cell phone – call you tell which ones?

Monkey has been chewing up the playset - I spent my morning making a plan on how to deal with it.

Swimming

I love this view

Benny (Benicio Del Turtle) is getting huge!

I did not cook.

MWD required some first aid

This guy would not leave the garage. We have a serious frog population around our house.

She is always fun to be around and has a great attitude that rubs off on me and helps keep me positive. I wish we lived closer! The kids and I had to finish up some back-to-school shopping, so Nonna wondered the outlet mall (she’s a pro) while we finished up. Laid back, fun day. Plenty of beauty in our ordinary.

Noah started his day off with a sheet of microwaved turkey bacon!

I've been enjoying MWD's recent work attire. Handsome.

Carrie has a great story behind this ring. I love it.

 

They make him run fast and jump higher - see?

Teaching Nonna about Angry Birds. His addiction.

We enjoyed her!

Instead it was a day around the house. Figures. I think I still pulled it out. Emily’s at camp and the boys hung out with me all day. I’ve been enjoying spending my summer with the kids. Lot’s of reading and learning going on . . . and playing.

packages from Auntie Carra are always a big hit!

He has already read over 1000 minutes since school let out.

making projects at the project table . . .

Our crape myrtle's are in full bloom.

We trained Monkey to ring these bells when she wants out. Sweet.

During a chess lesson, Jack kept calling the knight "darkness" - it took me awhile to figure out how he got there.

We ended the day Skyping with my Dad. Technology rocks.

Glad Alysha reminded me!

Cell phone pic - Loving Monkey's bike leash. We try to go for a ride everyday.

Picked up the cake from Jessicakes - combined we have a lot of kids!

Jessica made a yummy chocolate rasberry cake with less than one day notice. She rocks.

I have put this fortune in the trash 3 times. It has found it's way out 3 times.

MWD reading the letters the kids wrote to Rachel Robinson. We learned about Jackie Robinson (#42) all week and they told him all about it as part of his birthday. He was touched (and impressed).

Noah took this. Me & my Jack-a-doo

balloons + mexican buffet = gross

Happy Birthday, MWD!

As Rebekah says “take a photo once an hour for ten consecutive hours on the tenth of each month. document a snapshot of your life and find beauty amoung the ordinary things of your day.”

So here’s my first try – I found a little beauty among the ordinary . . .

where I spend most of my time

MWD's new toy - not low carb friendly

That was fun! Can’t wait to do it next month.
