If Looks Could Kill ....


Taken Spring 2009
I had to share this because it epitomizes my day today. This child has mood swings that would do a manic-depressive proud. One minute she's smiling and everything is good, then the next minute she is screaming her head off because Jack looked at her, the cat walked by, she spotted the dog across the room, I paid attention to another child, etc ... If she's not screaming and basically having a tantrum, she is giving me the stink eye. If looks could kill, I'd have been dead LONG ago. Less than two months. I just have to keep telling myself that ... less than two months and I won't have to deal with this anymore.

Travels Interrupted


I was on my way to St. Andrews today and we had to pull over in Harvey because we ran into a parade. Normally, that would stress me out but it was actually fun. This float cracked me up.

I gotta say, Livy and Lauren were INSEPARABLE! It was like they were attached at the hip! Felt bad for Jessica a couple of times, but Jilly always checked on her when Jess was off by herself - or rather, left in the dust by the devilish duo.

Snapped this as I was driving by ... just struck me as funny - Man of God on a Cell, looking all cool in his shades.

We are figuring out the Halloween costume for our upcoming camping trip.

Long time no Upload


I've took pictures over the last couple days.
About 200.

I have to keep remembering to bring my camera w/ me when I go out places.

This latest photo is a photo shoot I did of Tori and a couple friends at Killarney lake. I wish I knew some Photoshop tricks. I think I'm going to start playing around with them some.

Can't you just imagine the theme song from Chariots of Fire playing in the background as she runs up the ramp?

Sorry this is a few days old ... I just haven't had time to upload any new pics from my cam. Hopefully I will have the chance tomorrow.

My Masterpiece.....


I have to say I am pretty impressed with this myself....wow! What do you think? My first one was prettier...but I didn't use M&M's I cheaped out and used Smarties (blech). My first one was not as tall so the gap between frosting and fingers was less....but I'm sure it will tasty yummy....
SIL is taking it to work to celebrate 2 birthdays, since we've already had one cake I wasn't keeping that one in the house...plus its too pretty not to share!


Meant to do this last night......

Thought it was a cool angle....

Brain Damage

My place
I know it's blurry ... but it's perfect for this. Poor Jack fell down the stairs Thursday .... he was fine but got some MAJOR rug burn on his forehead. On the way out the door at pickup time, he ran into the doorjamb. Erica joked that he'd be in school at age 6 and the teacher would wonder why he couldn't remember vowels.

Before and After


Well the way the photos are situated, I guess it's really an After and Before. The bottom picture is how my deck was originally. The top photo is after I completed it tonight. With some help, I extended the 4x4 posts to 8 feet tall, put a beam across the top and attached some privacy curtains. I only did the work on 2 sides of the deck. The other has a nice view and I didn't want to be totally boxedin. Crappy view and staring neighbours gone!

a little peice of heaven & hell



Taken this morning.....
I'm sure you can figure out which is which?

Pool Play

At the Giraffe Pool
I couldn't decide which one to go with. I really like them both, so I posted them both! I like that you can see the water drippingoff Jack's chin in the first. I like the action shot of Jessica in the second. And she looks like she is having a great time!

My First Post


I have been slack in starting.
I thought my 1st Post at POD should be of my 1st ever Dozen Roses.
They are pink and very lovely.

Whose That Girl with the Cake?

Taken Monday, July 20, 2009
At the Giraffe Pool
Yes, I Harry Pottered Erica's child. He was playing in a hole the dog had dug. When he hauled himself out, he lost his footing and fell into his favourite red plastic shovel, forehead first. This was the result.

Plant Killer

This tomato plant was healthy less than a week ago when it still lived at my parent's house. I try.

Happy

I'm really happy you guys agreed to do this. Not only am I using my camera more in the last few days, but I really look forward to seeing the shots you both take as well. Thanks!

This is Why


This is why I scrapbook. My albbums (most of them) are on a shelf in the living room and JJ looks at them constantly.
