Long Lost Relatives

I finally met up with my long lost sister on Sunday and well as her family and my Uncle and Aunt from Florida. We had a nice visit even though it rained for the first time in MONTHS around here.

This is Melanie in her usual pose (her words).

We (Grandparents, Kids and I) had a fun trip to the museum yesterday. Can you pick out all the live people in the picture?

Eric narrowly missed being eaten by the dino!

By the way Deanna, please explain again how to delete pictures. As you can probably see I can't seem to figure it out.

Two

Two kids plus a parade equals TONS of candy...this is just what they could fit in their hands.




Today we went to another parade and afterwards to the township celebration where my kids were able to take a ride on an elephant! They were so excited. This picture was taken when the gentleman leading the elephant stopped it and told it to SMILE. She (her name is Laura) lifted her trunk and held still so I could get a couple of pictures.

Personality and Pigs

I got a bit distracted reading blogs today with a site that claims you can get insight into your personality by analyzing a picture you draw of a pig. Here is my piggy...her name is Daisy.




I found out I am pessimistic, believe in tradition, am a bit distrustful, stubborn, a good listener and my sex life is (um, none of your business)

So, what is your personality like according to a pig? http://drawapig.desktopcreatures.com/

I found the quiz at http://meeyauw.blogspot.com/ a fellow photo hunter.

Row (something in a)

Here is a picture I found of something in a row. It is my kids marching band performing on Memorial Day. My daughter is the girl with the piccolo. They will be performing again tomorrow for our town's annual Founders Day Parade. Maybe I'll get a picture of my son and his drum in a row too! Stay tuned!

Tiny

So today's theme is tiny...I had a lot of trouble thinking of a picture this week. I kept coming up with things that may be tiny, but are not good photo subjects- my patience, my willpower, my motivation. Maybe a picture of my waist or thighs? (JOKE)

The other day my kids came running in the house and insisted that I put a baby bird back into it's nest. I did it and (of course) forgot to take a picture of it. So in the baby bird theme here is a photo of a Mommy bird sitting on her eggs.


Now I am off to pick up Harry Potter and bury my nose in a book for the next couple of days! See, tiny willpower! Big motivation!

Here is my find for this week's theme...Fake! These toenails are not real...they have been applied to create the illusion of reality, but we know the truth! I will not reveal the name of this faker but she knows who she is. They do look pretty though!

Sweet!

So, it's not Saturday anymore but this picture is just as sweet today. This is a picture of my friend Deanna taken last week at her baby shower. She is so excited to be at the shower because it means that very soon she will bring her little boy home from Ethiopia!

I could have taken a picture of the the desserts at the party, but they are nowhere as sweet as Deanna. Of course the baby is even sweeter but she is keeping his picture out of the blogging world until he gets home!
