i am at my parents house taking lots of photos of very cute families in the sweltering heat.
and eating banana bread.
and drinking my mom's margaritas.
when i got home from my sessions i had to change ALL my clothes because they were soaked from sweat.
how gross is that?
i realized last night (again….so more of just a confirmation or a validation…) that i REALLY love my job.
🙂
even in the HOT sweaty kansas sun.
i love seeing the kids warm up….and catching that sparkle in their eye.
LOVE IT.
today the kids said "i love you meg." when we were finished. ha ha ha
and they squeezed me with hugs.
how could someone not love that job?
and i am happy that my mom has a starbucks in her town.
and that my dad takes my kids to garage sales.
annie had a tantrum in the toy store today.
yuck.
i drank 3 Liters of water yesterday and today too!
i went to my FAVORITE fabric store Sarah's and got to work on supplies for CRAFT WEEKEND.
and i am driving home soon.
in 105 heat.
with only annie.
talby stays with grandma for a week!
we will have to ease the loneliness with ice cream on our way out of town….and a redbox movie.
Mindy - Sarah’s is my favorite too! I just bought that grey and yellow fabric there a few days ago. Love it! 🙂
Laine Chambers - Oh wow, those are gorgeous fabrics! Wish I could visit that store!
Jessica - HURRAH for Sarah’s! I love her store and agree with Angela, how DO YOU choose? I love your choices. I’m assuming you’ve hit up Sunfire Ceramics just around the block then too?
alicia @ la famille - great weekend! even with all the heat and sweatiness. i could just die in the fabric store…it’s my weakness, that’s for sure! all those beatiful prints! just love it!! enjoy your time with one less kid…it’ll be so fun to pick her up too 🙂
This Farm Family's Life - Sounds terrific!!!

angela - Lawrence girl here…I love Sarah’s, but I don’t know how you choose. I walk around picking out fabric forever, but then I leave empty handed because I can’t make up my mind! Starbucks is my last choice for coffee though. So many wonderful, local coffee shops (unless you’re at Target or Dillons…then you might as well pick up a sb).
pam - I LOVE Sarah’s….I wished I lived closer. Although it might be best that I have to drive an hour to get there….I LOVE SARAH’S!!!! I don’t know what I would make but I want to go there now. Althought a new tied quilt for my bed would be just grand. I don’t quilt but I can piece them. I love to go to Sarah’s with my sister in law who does quilt. Makes me smile just thinking about it.
Oberheu.wordpress.com - Thanks so much for doing Mason’s pics today Meg! He was so relaxed with you. I can’t wait to see the pics- I know they will be awesome!
Katy - it was 108 yesterday. gross.
Katy @ Live Laugh Love Craft - I always loveee your fabric choices! So bright and pretty. 🙂
Katie - Growing up in Lawrence, I could have spent hours in Sarah’s and made my mom buy out the store if she had let me! We still go there every chance we can!
seriouslysassymama - Sounds like a great day!
Cindy - Oh Meg! My girls talked about you all night last night and again today. They loved you! In fact, Addison told me she wanted to make a note to send to you and asked if you could always be our picture-taker! Thank you so much for making us all feel so comfortable! I’m glad that you love your job because without even having seen the results, I know that we’d love to hire you again sometime!! I’m a bit envious that you made it to Sarah’s Fabrics…that’s on my summer list along with a stop at the farmer’s market there!
Kate @ Songs Kate Sang - Did someone say craft weekend?! giggle.
Heather - Sarah’s Fabrics? You must be in Lawrence! 😉 And my hat is off to you shooting photos in this heat! Don’t sell your readers short – they really need to know that today’s heat index was 120 at 4:00 pm today. It’s all about the heat index in Kansas, this is no dry heat baby!
Tiffany - how awesome to luv ur job!!! awesome, yo. no bringing up craft weekend. no fair.
Holly - wow 105! I shot my sisters wedding yesterday. It was fun and so totally out of my comfort zone but I loved it. I love being a photographer!
sue - I saw on the weather channel that it was going to be hot in Kansas,Its actually cooler in the Nevada desert. !!
happygirl - 105 degrees, wow. That’s HOT. You are so good at what you do. Being a photographer is a hard job. I’ve learned they lay on the ground, climb ladders, hang over cliffs and do WHATEVER it takes to get the shot. 🙂
Terrie - Love your fabric purchases!!!
I finally bit the bullet and ordered my camera today! Can’t wait to start playing with it, but I have soooooo much to learn! It will be fun to challenge myself though!
Thought about you as I worked on my latest project. I blogged about it today. It makes me smile!
Tell Annie…it’s so hot, I wanted to throw a tantrum too! Only 111+ here today! 🙁
I bought stuff for your mom’s margaritas today! Happy Sunday!
Leslie Davison - I think that sounds like a wonderful day: love from grandpa to grandkids, love from your mom to you, and love from you to your clients. Love Starbuck’s and Margaritas!
Corey Villicana - Sounds wonderful! Thank you so much for your blog, I just love it! Take care! xoxo
