P.52 photo challenge: week 15.

Sacrifice is this week's theme.  Tough one.  Luckily, Darcy of the p.52 photo challenge expanded the theme to include any pics from last week's Passover or Easter holiday weekend.

Excellent. I have some options.  It was a big family weekend - my brother and sister in law, niece and nephew were in town and we had a great time with them.  Buddy had so much fun spending time with his cousins.  Naturally, with the three little guys together, many pictures were to be had.

So we had ourselves a little photo shoot.  I'm sure everyone knows how tough it can be to get multiple people all looking at the camera, smiling, with their eyes open and hands down at the same time.  Well, when the multiple people are multiple little kids, you have yourselves a party.

It was pretty funny - very cute and comical.  Here  are the results.

WINNING SHOTS

First pic. Very cute. All looking at camera. Cousin O wants his shoe off.

Super cute. Looking elsewhere but adorable.

OUTTAKES (for your enjoyment)

Um, where you going Cousin O? Cousin Z is getting smushed!

Buddy, what are you pointing at?

Home Alone face from Cousin Z.

Things are getting chaotic.

Photo shoot over.

P. 52 photo challenge: week 14.

Foolin' Around.

I have two great scenes that capture this week's theme.  I love them both.

No descriptions needed.


Scene 1:

Scene 2:

Not only do they show foolin' around, but they show pure happiness and joy.  Like I said, I love them both.

Kids clothing: another great brand.

Super cute brand that I can't believe I haven't talked about yet.

Colette Kids. It's perfect - you'll love it and your little one will too.

Why will you love it?

• Simple
• Colorful
• Cute designs
• Adorable, but not babyish
• Fairly reasonable prices

Why will they love it?

• Cute designs

So - what are these cute designs that appeal to both you and your child?

Animals.

Most of the time clothes with animals are not my style at all. I either find them too babyish or too tacky. But these - these are neither. They are absolutely charming. Take a look at some of the designs:

We have two of the shirts, and I'm eyeing more.  I am in no way involved with this product, but would LOVE to be sent samples (hint hint to Colette Kids) to promote!!!

As always, our model showing the shirts "in action".

You can buy the shirts at the Colette Kids website, and a couple of retailers and online shops carry the brand.

Cute Sesame Street t shirts for toddlers & where to buy them.

The name of the blog IS Searching for Sesame Street. There had to be some reason, right?

My son is absolutely in love with Sesame Street.

pardon the wet - he's a drooler!

So naturally, we have some Sesame tee shirts. I'll call our Sesame Street tee shirt style "simple whimsy".

Pretty much ever time buddy wears one of his shirts, at least a few moms stop to ask me where I bought it. So, I thought I'd show and share some of buddy's tees (all buddy approved) and throw in some others on our "consideration" list.

So, if you too have an Elmo-loving little one and want some cute & fun tees, this list's for you.

Photo challenge from the paper mama.

I love these photo challenges. Though I have to admit (again) that I do them a bit retroactively.  I tend to go back to recent pictures and find a pic that I think fits the theme perfectly.  I know the goal is to go out and take pictures that fit the theme.

I need to get better at that. But I don't usually carry my big camera around with me outside of the house, and haven't had much time lately to go on a photo walk.  But with this new challenge, all the pics are of your children.

So, i definitely should be able to take the pics of the theme and try to stop the retroactivity!

Anyways, the theme is "Eyes".  Here's a pic of buddy giving me a wide eyed look as he drinks his milk.  Love the look.  He is one serious milk drinker.
