73/365 eight

Today is Joshua's 8th birthday. He has declared himself the "birthday king." I can't believe he's 8 already. He's a sweet, creative, loving, helpful boy. He loves to draw comics and build with Legos. He loves reading. He doesn't love homework or cleaning his room.

Someone posted a shot like this on CM awhile ago and ever since I've wanted to try it with Joshua. It's so him. I thought today was a good day to try it :-)

Happy belated Birthday!!! I love this shot. I love the inspiration on CM. I've got a whole subscription folder full of inspiration.

Is that a barnboard flooring? Or is that a real fence? I feel silly asking that but it looks like you glued those on a fence! :)
