Had plans of working all night last night, but when Josh suggested that we get out of the house to do something fun, I was all over it.
Dinner and bowling (couldn't talk Ross into going because he had to be up at 3am for wrestling).
The kids were super good. The fighting was minimal. Josh beat me both games (although neither one of us broke 100). Annie was happy as a clam.
And everyone came home tired.
I didn't want the flash on my camera, so I had to settle for a bunch of grainy (ISO setting 1600) and blurry (shutter speed 1/90) pictures.
I'm using these pictures to justify getting a new lens though (wanting a fixed 50mm lens with a 1.8 aperture).
Had so much fun taking the night off...that I'm taking today off too (not sure when my work will get done, but I'll figure something out, I'm sure).
Headed off to the park and then Coley's basketball game.
how fun that you went bowling and no one beat 100! :) sounds like my family! the shots are so cute, but i can totally support that new lens you are wanting! LOVE my 50mm 1.4! :)

Looks like you had a lot of fun ! Annie is looking more adorable every day , so sweet.
And I had a fix lense under the christmas tree, it really makes a big difference when you are shooting indoors !
