I know I’m a day early posting since this challenge doesn’t start until tomorrow (Monday, March 8), but what can I say? I knew the moment I saw what this weeks theme was, what picture I wanted to use.
Last week (maybe the week before…days run together when you are a SAHM) the boys and I were outside playing on their bouncy balls. I have to say, these sit on balls are THE best toys for boys. They spent an hour outside jumping all over the place, round and round, and wore themselves out.
Anyhow, I got several cute shots but this was my favorite. The expression on Anthony’s face is just the best. He’s having so much fun.
I don’t usually do a lot of post-production editing to my pictures other than a curve adjustment here or there. But in this picture, he was at the end of the driveway, so I cropped it a lot and then played with it a bit. I hope you like it.
If you like to take pictures, check out I Heart Faces and play in their weekly challenges. There are always so many great shots, it’s hard to compete with all the pro’s, but it’s fun nonetheless.
















That is a GREAT photo. I love it.

OMGosh, these balls are THE best! I have 2, I need another. You can get them at TRU.
Umm…Excuse me but I am going to TRS RIGHT NOW and buying some of those. I have eyed them before but thought my babes might be too little for them but I think they will be just fine. I have a girl and two boys, spaced 15 months apart, and they absolutely need a way to get out some of their energy…Thanks for the motivation!
Thank you also for wishing my Meemo a happy birthday last week. It meant so much to me that you would do this and it was very wonderful for her. She loved reading all of the comments.
Enjoyed your blog – I will follow!

thanks for the nice comment.
My twins are 3 and they go to town bouncing on the balls. A definite must have!
Very Fun! I need one of those for my kiddos!

Love the picture and want a bouncy ball to wear my daughter out! The bouncy ball people (and I’m sure that’s their official company name
) should be paying you for advertising!
What a lot of fun! Can’t wait to get out and play this summer!
