Mood Challenge - i Heart Faces

This week’s challenge is to post an image in black and white with a mood.  Our family loves books and reading so much, I thought this image reflects the magic we find in books really well.

Light Reading

This week’s assignment for class is to use light to create a mood.  This is one of my images so far.  It still needs a little work, so I hope I get time (and kids with a bit of patience) to reshoot it again tonight.

Beating Lethargy

It is getting to the stage of the holidays where I just want to curl up in bed and sleep until noon.  The kids are getting bored with the normal distractions and the house is progressively falling into a chaotic black hole.  I made a deal with myself to make a big effort today and get all of us out of the house.  So… today I did 5 loads of washing, took the kids swimming and enrolled us at the local library.

 

My oldest especially was really grateful about going to the library, since he is a ferocious reader and he finished his Christmas books weeks ago.  He even got himself an audio book so he could listen to a story while falling asleep.  He gets his funny reading positions from me, unfortunately for him!

I turned one room into a ‘library’.  That means I put all the bookcases together in one room and placed all the extra chairs and beanbags there.  With all the books together, I realised I need more book shelves!

Thankfully we all love reading.  Even my youngest gets excited about books.
