Family photos gone funny
The following are some of my favorite 'oops' moments and why, when we have more money some day, I will pay someone professional to take our family pics! That, or after practicing for the next few years I'll get better at doing self-timer photos!
These make me laugh, and I hope the same is true for you!
Our little Mariah Carey using the tripod as her mic stand!
Aren't we the cutest all fuzzy!
Stealing some more personal camera time
One of two that looks somewhat okay
Here is to trying again another day when we are all better rested and know what to anticipate!

Camera Woman
Our family Christmas present last year was a new Digital SLR camera. A has begun to further develop her photograhy talents recently and here are some new Fall Pictures that she took this afternoon. Enjoy!
Pretty good, eh?

Just when I thought....
Just when I thought I would tag myself as a reader, which I love to do in my quiet moments at home, I went and surprised myself!
After reading a children's book, Mermaids on Parade, with the little miss, she discovered that the last page of the book included directions on how to make your own mermaid tail (out of fabric, no growing scaly tails on petri dishes).
Of course this was too great a temptation to pass up, so, as we were out running errand today, we stopped into Joanne's, and found this super-fun material for all of $2.48! While the little guy was napping we went to town (read:I went crazy with ideas of how to make a full blown costume). Good thing that little bits of fabric go a long way on little bodies!
Here is the final project! Watch out Ariel!
Don't look too closely, or you will see why I consider myself more of a reader than a seamstress- but, for a cute little girl, this did the trick!
Our other recent adventures include:
Our 2 year old feeding the baby- I figured he is already going to be messy- why not?
My attempts in remembering how to use manual settings on a SLR camera- Thanks go to Rachel for the refresher course. We'll see what comes next!
The little miss playing with a neighbor friend in our other steal of the summer- brand new whale pool at Target for $4.98. That is less than it costs for our family to go to the local pool even once! It got plenty of use for the last 2 weeks of summer.
Enjoy our life updates and accomplishments!
