An ordinary day and the Happiness Project

365 #331 Vardag (An ordinary day)

Today, I am joining Leigh at Leigh vs Laundry (my goodness, can I relate to her blog name!) in the Happiness Project.

The task is to post a photo of something that makes you wildly happy and truth to be told, I love my ordinary days. Days when the house is all turned upside down with toys and games and I try to manage to get through the day somehow. This photo is such a good picture of what a completely normal moment in our house is like. I am trying to take a photo of something *in this case a golden Christmas Tree*, my son is deeply concentrated in his Harry Potter Lego game and my daughter is dancing around the floor in one of the fairy outfits, which she currently seems to be living in. (Baby is on the floor behind me). I, currently suffering from a bad back, have shoved the poor little tree down a paper towel roll to get it into a more comfortable height for me to shoot. I think I had some idea of changing to my macro lens, but looking in my archive, something must have interrupted my photo session, because I only have about 3 identical photos from this afternoon.

That is quite typical too. ;)

Mia- thanks for stopping by today. It always makes me so happy to connect with other homeschoolers & just moms that share my passions.

I love this picture as I too cherish the normal days. Those are the ones I will miss the most one day.

Vilket fint foto från vardagen. Såna behövs. Oftast är man så ambitiös att det ska vara snyggt och tillrättalagt. Men det är ju inte så vi har det...åtminstone inte vi :)
Må så gott!

Your blog is really taking off this year, Mia! So glad you're back in the game! And, what a fine slice-of-your-life photo this is. I like that in one frame you captured something of your hobby along with your son and daughter pursuing theirs.

Part of my life seems reflected here too as my almost 16-year-old daughter was fascinated by fairies as a little girl and I think still has a bit of a soft spot for them. She is also one of the biggest Harry Potter fans on earth!
