#2 Tackles the DMV or You’re Breaking My Heart

This is my son…. with his "candy night-night" sitting in his red

wagon telling me how "I've broken his heart". (yes he really would

say that to me.)

This is my son with his new drivers license… now who's

breaking who's heart?

Because I'm kind of a blogger.. and because well.. I like to take pictures of my kids.. Here is #2's Drivers License experience…

I love the little "Alfalfa" thing he has working here…

At this point I had taken about 10 photos.. So you can imagine what

he's thinking about right here…

Taking his test.

Some of you who live in a big city might be impressed that the Drivers License place is EMPTY.. We were in there 1.5 hours before closing time… and well this is Kansas. 🙂

Getting his picture taken…

Signing for his permit…

I would like to add that he signed it a couple of times because he

didn't like the way his "signature" looked.

I'm not sure either of our lives will be the same again..

Do Children Shop for Items on eBay?

If you follow my blog you know I like to pick 5 things I want on Etsy or eBay.. but today I thought I would pick out the 5 things my kids want on eBay. I think you just might be surprised at their choices, or you might realize how spending their formative years with me has warped them. I knew The Man should have been a stay at home dad…

#1’s Selection…

Glassactcc Focal Bead. This bead is called Witch Crash.

#1 loves lampwork or hand made glass beads. She wanted

a Halloween or Twilight set. Sadly there were none listed on eBay today 🙁

#2’s Selection..

Uniden BCD996XT Digital Mobile Scanner with 25,000 Channels and GPS Support.

I have no idea why #2 wants a Police scanner.. but I’m pretty sure it will only add to his

nerdiness.

#3’s Selection…

Huge Lot of American Girl Doll Clothes. #3 LOVES her American Girl Doll.

I’m pretty sure I would have wanted one when I was her age too.

#4’s Selection:

#4 would love a remote control Helicopter..

I’m sure he’ll put an eye out with it.

#5’s Selection:

#5 Wants this Ben 10 watch..

He love’s this show.. When I go to Target he

reminds me I need to get him one.

Homeschooling: From My Point of View

I took some photos from how I see my kids doing school… So here it is, our second week of school. They all look like they just woke up… but at least they are working..

#5 working hard on his preschool page.

See all Done!

Here’s #2 working hard.. I believe that kid needs a haircut.

WOW all these kids need their haircut.

Even my little Lefty #4 is writing his spelling words..

Who says they can’t concentrate? Maybe they could if I’d quit taking their photos and at least get the hair out of their eyes!

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.
