Park Portraits

"J" and I headed to the park to take a few spring portraits. "T" refused to come as he had very important Lego business to attend to. Here are a few of my favorites.







and a few silly ones....because what's a photo shoot with out a few silly ones

Nothing Could be Finer

Than some dinner at the diner....

All I wanted for my birthday was to NOT cook dinner. Of course going to dinner with two kids on a week night does not equal fine cuisine...rather we went to the place with the best ice cream and the biggest cookies. Happy Birthday indeed!

Six Flags

We went to Six Flags for "T's" birthday. It was a little chilly in the morning (as you will see below) but beautiful by afternoon. I have to say that Six Flags is not my favorite. "D" and the kids like all the rides but there isn't much there that I can enjoy with them. I brought a book. But the important thing is that the kids had fun and “T” had an awesome birthday.

"J" and I do self portraits while waiting for the boys to finish a ride.






The kids making their best monster faces.


FYI the words "Everyone's a winner” are synonymous with "expensive"




"T" with the prize he "won"

Stay Tuned

Because one day we MIGHT do something new and interesting. But until then basically it’s the same old thing all over again. This time-a trip to the museum (again) but with “J.”

Big wheels keep on rolling….


AAHHHHHH!


“T” tell “J” she is touching fossilized dinosaur poop.


Must be an Apatosaurus skeleton.




Showing the real fossils she dug up.

Lego Man

"T" loves Lego's and so do I. I love them because I think they are a great brain building toy. “T” loves them because they are just plain AWESOME!

Sometime last fall I showed "T" how to follow the directions on a small Lego set. They next thing I knew he built this….


Wow- the instruction booklet was just that, a BOOK! I promise we didn't help him a bit. I personally think my son must be an engineering whiz kid-but the packages says "for ages 6-10" etc...I shouldn’t be too impressed since the company expects a six year to build this stuff.

I wish we had photo graphed a few more of the things he has built because just the other day he decided to dismantle everything. Now we have 1000s of tiny pieces everywhere and he is making up his own creations. Still fun-just messier.

Race Car set from Auntie Sue


Scary creation from Indiana Jones (the movie by the way not really appropriate for little kids-as we found out by showing it to them)
