InstaFriday

I'm a pathological picture taker. In fact, I have that in my Instagram bio. For as long as I can remember, I've loved taking pictures.

A few weeks ago, a fellow blogger and Instagram junkie told me about InstaFriday, hosted by Life Arranged. InstaFriday is a weekly blog hop where you round up your favorite Instagram photos that you've posted over the course of the past week. I don't participate in many blog carnivals anymore. I need to be really passionate about the subject to participate.

If you want to follow along, I am sheilakhill on Instagram. I'll be sure to follow back. I love browsing pics on Instagram.

On Monday, Emma entered into Phase II of her orthodontic treatment...braces! She's had them before but only on the upper, front 4 teeth. This time they are all over! They require a lot of care and maintenance. I hope she's up for the challenge for the next 12 months.

We have a few feral cats that linger in our yard. I perpetuate the situation by feeding them daily. Here are two of them waiting patiently one evening for their nightly offering.

On Wednesday night Emma and Harper had their annual gymnastic exhibitions. This was the organized chaos as the gymnasts took their places on the floor for their warm ups.

It's been raining pouring here all week. With the exception of Wednesday, everyday has seen some sort of rain, and it's generally been torrential downpours. What's the only thing to do when it rains? Play in the puddles, of course.

This morning severe thunderstorms were predicted. After I dropped the girls off at school, I headed to the beach for a quick walk. I get so distracted by the beach on a cloudy day. I wandered onto the beach and started taking pictures with my phone.

And lastly, I bought this necklace on a whim at Charlotte Russe a few weeks ago. I wore it this week with this striped boatneck top and loved the way it looked. Plus, what's InstaFriday without a selfie?

Hope to see you next week on InstaFriday!
