Make a Rainbow with your Kids

Have you ever wondered how to make a rainbow with your kids?  Here's an easy way to make one in your kitchen!  All you need is glasses, water, food dye and a spoon.

Step 1: Line up six glasses and fill every other glass about half full with water.
Step 2: In the first glass put 3 drops of red food dye and stir.
Step 3: In the third glass put 3 drops of yellow food dye and stir.
Step 4: In the fifth glass put 3 drops of blue dye and stir.
Step 5: Pour a little of the red and yellow into the second glass and you get orange.
Step six: Pour a little of the yellow and blue into the fourth glass and you'll get green.
Step seven: Pour a little of the red and blue into the sixth glass and you'll get purple.

Lastly,you can pour a little of each color into another glass and you'll get brown.

Now you've made a RAINBOW!

Now if it would just rain outside we could try and find a real rainbow.  I really want to capture a rainbow on film or memory stick. ;)

Shoot and Edit - Faith

 This week over at Shoot and Edit or Good to Wow is Faith.  The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Faith is my Bible and then crosses and church but I decided to go a little deeper.  I really thought about the meaning of faith.

Here's my SOOC this week:

I have complete trust and faith in the man I married.  I know that I can always have faith in my husband and in Him.  What a gracious Lord we have for providing me with such a great husband.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

This week for Scavenger Hunt Sunday the items were: Motion, Waiting to Click, In Fashion, Animal's Perspective & Many.

Here we go:

Motion

My little man running from me.  I used a new technique I learned from Shoot and Edit a couple week's ago to make the grass green.

Waiting to Click

I guess you could say I've been waiting two years 10 months to take this picture.  Thursday night was his last night to sleep in his crib so I snuck in his room and snapped a shot after he was asleep.

 In Fashion

I took pictures of a friend's three week old the other day and she was completely dressed in a beautiful smocked dress and these adorable socks.  Totally fashionable baby!

Many

So many bluebonnets outside our neighborhood, finally!  My mom and I took the kids this morning to take pictures.  There were also so many ladybugs!  If you look closely you'll see one on the stem. 

Animal's perspective

Our dog often lays on the landing while we're upstairs so I laid there to snap this.  

Shoot and Edit - Up Edited

Once again this week the theme for Shoot and Edit is "Up".  I had already decided I was going to add a little texture to the picture before I saw Ashley's post.  I just finished up Kim Klassen's Skinny Mini ecourse so I've been playing with her textures some.  Sometimes I like what textures can do to a photo and sometimes I think they're just - blah.  I guess they (along with everything else) take lots of practice!


Here are my edits.

ACR

 Final

I actually followed the steps from one of KK's lessons for this edit.  The texture I used is a KK - lifesgood.

Shoot and Edit - Up

For this week's theme Up I'm using a picture I took yesterday while we were flying kites with the kids.  It was a grey morning but so windy yesterday.  Perfect for kite flying.  Horrible for a birthday party at the park (not my child's party).  The poor mom!

SOOC

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

I had fun taking pictures this week for the Scavenger Hunt and editing them!  I had no idea what High Key meant.  I actually thought for a second I would take a picture of the hidden key above the door to the attic and then as I was sitting on a chair reading my google reader yesterday on my iphone I came across this lovely header titled "High Key?!" Thank goodness I clicked on that app yesterday and learned something new from Faith.  I have been so busy lately that I rarely read my blogroll but thankfully yesterday I took a moment to do that!  Not sure if my photo does High Key any justice but I gave it a shot. :)

High Key

 Bedroom

My sweet daughter was watching TV on my bed yesterday.

 Something Tiny

I actually took this two weeks ago in Atlanta but just got to editing it.  We don't have pine cones here or at least not around my house.  Those were so cute and small.

Off in the Distance

I took my little man to the RR tracks on Friday and off he went.  I love the bridge in the background.

 Stripes

I don't normally take pictures of myself but wasn't coming up with anything for stripes.  I tried to take a picture of my camera strap but it was too close so I played around with taking a shot of myself.

For more interpretations head over to Ashley's blog:

Shoot and Edit - Green Edited

I'm a day late this week.  And, I was in such a hurry to get to my edits that I completely skipped ACR.  Oh, well.  I did think that grass tutorial was pretty neat.  I did it rather fast before I did my pre-school pick-up so it's not perfect by any means but I learned a new trick for future reference and that's what matters.  Thanks for sharing yet another great tutorial, Ashley!
