Crap! Eluded once more!
But, alas, the Mother catches her with one quick press of the shutter! And she was captured again.
And then this was all she got.
Umm.. Is it just me, but aren’t the goggles meant to prevent this? (kind of defeats the purpose if you ask me.)
Aidan spent a week with my mom. This is how she came home. We absolutely love it! It makes her look so much more… 7th grader. And we went to Alley Fest last weekend. Lots of awesome artists this year.
How about some of that 7th grade attitude!
School’s out! Today was the first day of summer. The kids wanted to swim, but, I, trying to be the responsible adult in charge, said it was too cold. Apparently I don’t know as much as I think I do, so I let them find out for themselves. They jumped in the cold water, then, out they came just as quick as they got in. Why is it that grown ups are seemingly idiots, who know nearly nothing as much as they do? Being the parent that I am, I thought, I’ll teach them! Life’s lessons right. They figured out too late that maybe I do know something after all!
I put the shivering kids in the sun to warm, gave them popcorn, and proceeded with my own agenda. (I’ve quickly learned that if I want to document their days, I need a good plan.) Give ‘em popcorn and tell them to try throw it in the air and catch it. It worked for me, but it didn’t work for them. I do enjoy the hatching of the sinister plot to con them into doing what I want! And all unbeknownst to the know-it-alls!
Oops! It’s a miss!
the ever cool popcorn goatee
And an almost good one, had I not chopped off his chin!
Here are the birds relating from the previous post. I haven’t had them before, but they were eating the seeds on the blossoms and the petals too! They were odd little birds, eating in the rain.
I was taking pictures of these birds that I’ve never seen before, chowing down on my apple tree. Literally. I was in full concentration mode and using my zoom lens. I didn’t even notice the cat had climbed in the tree. He jumped down right as I pulled the camera from my face, and this is what I saw. Those birds never did come back. What bird would when there’s an evil, bird eating, hunter on the loose.
