I take my Photos at Night.. So no one sees…

I’m not going all goth (or is it emo? ) on anyone.. but I really love to take photos at night. It started a couple of years ago, right after I received my camera. I took a few photos just for fun of my kids in the dark.. Anyone who has read my blog knows I’m not a photographer… but I love the way these photos look.

This photo was taken of #5 on the 4th of July two years ago.

#1 looking like she’s ready to say something prolific.

When I take these, I just point in the direction the people are… and have the flash on.

Sometimes they look really neat, other times funny.. and sometimes just bad.

She could be praying that I don’t take her photo.. or she might be asleep.

#3 looks abused in this photo.. but she really just got done yelling at #2.

Here’s #3 and her Best Friend. They are pretty cute huh?

I love the way the black surrounds the photo and just lights them up.

There is probably a special name for this.. but as I said.. I’m not a photographer.

Here’s #1, #4, #5..

They were watching fireworks in our front yard.

Here’s #5 in a similar pose from 2 years ago.

#4 looking cute.

Moving the Old Dude Part 2

I don’t know about your house, but at my home when boxes sit for 6 years, they seem to break down and stuff falls out of them. Most of last week was dedicated to repacking the boxes that looked bad or some how popped open.

Here’s The Man and #4.. You can see #4 is just looking good.. (with his mood necklace on).

.. the moving of the crap has just started.

#2 looking confused..

I’m really embarrassed to say.. this is how my sweet daughter #3 always looks.. Like she’s relaxing on the sofa while everyone else works around her. There’s #2 driving the John Deere.. See my sweet #5? He’s sad because he’s not in that trailer.

I really don’t think this needs much explanation.

Pretty much this is how #2 Mows the Lawn.. with the Man checking on his work.

No where near being done.. but with my short attention span, I didn’t take any photos of the finished product.

They picked the trailer up at HIGH NOON today… it’s on the way back to Georgia.

Mothers Day Saturday Gardening with the Family

My Mothers Day weekend started out with a trip to Enright Gardens and Sandcreek Nursery We loaded up the car and headed out.

Because my children have figured out that I am going to blog about them, they have become a bit surly when I tell them I want to take their photo.  (note #1 and #3 aren’t doing it.. just the boys). I also love how #1 is sucking up in her “employee of the month” t-shirt.

Enright Gardens.. fabulous!

#2’s finger being eaten by a snapdragon

Their Baskets are BEAUTIFUL!

I love old rusty metal things to put in my garden.

#4 feels we need a cart for our purchases

Yes.. I randomly accost The Man and kiss him my children think this is a combination of gross and funny. I’m not sure what The Man thinks about it.

I forgot to take a photo of my loot from Enrights.. But I promise.. I got some FABULOUS stuff.. I’ll take photos of it when I get it planted.

From here we moved to Sandcreek nusery.  I lost my my mojo to take photos at Sandcreek.. but my kids came through…

Here’s #5 he thought I needed some yellow mums for Mother’s Day.

The Man explaining to his children to get out of the rocks.. don’t you love the man’s socks? That’s all him baby.

#1 and #3 thought I needed this rose bush.  This photo doesn’t do this rose bush justice.  This rose was about 6 inches across.

#2 and his mother.. he’s never embarrassed to hold his mother’s hand

See the bumble bee?

How Many Licks Does It Take to Get To the Center of A Tootsie Roll Pop?

I had a meeting in town this fine 5th Day of May.  I had just crossed the low water bridge, and was feeling good when I saw this:

Surely that is not an Owl..

I beleive it is Mr. Owl.. and he’s looking at me!

See his wings in the top left corner?

He let me get about 10 feet from him, then he flew off.  He left before I could ask Mr. Owl.. “How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?”.
