A Month in a Minute


For the past month (November 5th-December 4th) I have been working on a video project in which I recorded 2 second clips from each day. This is based off of Joey Goldsmith’s “30 days in 30 seconds.” He did an amazing job with his skills and fancy equipment. I have no skills and recorded everything with my iPhone. I had a lot more fun with it than I expected. I also learned a lot over the month and have been trying to think outside the box with how I film certain scenes. I started a new one for December that began on the 1st and I’m already seeing improvements I’ve made since the first one. 
The music was written by Don and then edited for my video. 


 

Now I just encourage others to try out this challenge! Or the 30/31 days in 30/31 seconds.

Thanksgiving


This past week kept us busy with lots of different things going on.

My dad and Eileen were in town for Thanksgiving so they took us to the Magic House. We had such a good time. I found myself saying “We need one of these in our house” multiple times. It was so much fun watching the boys try new things, figuring out how they work, and finding out the results. Also, Liam would do a great job working at a grocery store. He did an amazing job “restocking” the mock grocery store. He was very serious about the job and very diligent. And he made $35 in about 10 minutes.
Their favorite part of the day was being inside the bubble.

The next day, we made some simple crowns. It gave the boys a chance to focus their creativity on something. They have been asking to do crafts almost daily now.
Liam was determined to color his like Princess Toadstool

Thursday was Thanksgiving. And like every year, we spent the day at the Lees’ house with them and all the Tuckahoe crew.

I didn’t take too many pictures of the day.

Tim and Stef felt like royalty with their turkey leg.

Uncle Muncle came over for a visit yesterday. We hadn’t seen him since July. The boys had a good time climbing all over him, sneezing on him, and cuddling next to him.

Kai always says the most random things. Therefore, I like to ask him random questions. One thing Mark asked Kai was “what do you think about the new policies for Obamacare?” Kai said “no, that’s too scary!”
Wise beyond his years.
Unfortunately, we had to miss out on a Kesselring visit today because one of their kids was sick. But it was a fellowship Sunday so we stayed at church instead.
Who’s more hipster?? Probably Maggi 😉
