There are days

when these kids just don't want their picture taken, example 1:

But that's nothing a little bribing can't cure!

Little Momma

~K~ is getting to the stage where she is playing Momma, she likes to carry around her dolls and stuffed animals. She will rock them and whisper "Shhh, Shhh" and pat them on the back. Every once in a while ~K~ will try to put her blankie around her dolls (I know! you can get up off the floor now) so she thought it was so awsome when I got her a recieving blanket to have for her babies. She grinned from ear to ear for awhile, then I showed her how to wrap her baby in the blanket- oh she was in mommy heaven.

Phone call

for baby ~E~!

This looks

so sweet! Like a brother and sister that just love each other so much UNTIL

You see this face coming at you!

~K~ would bend over and give ~C~ a kiss, then he would yell "NO TONGUE" After about 2 minutes of watching ~C~ getting "tongued" by his sister, I was rolling on the floor laughing, so naturally I did what all good parents would do: grab the CAMERA!

~K~ in the box

Once again we were goofing off and being silly. You know the camera is always involved when we play, so here are a few great shots of ~K~ that I got.

Learning Photoshop

is WORSE than pulling teeth, but thanks to a great friend, I have gained my confidence to try my hand at photoshop. I thought it was going to be a piece of cake until (the first thing I learned) it DID NOT come with instructions! I was so frustrated that I wanted to throw my whole computer out the window. The wonderful phenomenon we call the internet was NO HELP either. I would research how to do something and it was like reading Japanese. I was starting to think I needing some sort of degree to understand this so-called great program known as photoshop. All the more deceiving-the box offered all these wonderful NEW tools available to use, but could I use them? Not exactly, until, that is, I met up with a lady that used to be in my shoes at one point and was so graciously willing to teach me. SOOOOO here's some examples of what I've mastered so far. I still have TONS to learn, (that's where that degree comes in) but so far so good.

WOW

World of Warcraft is an online video game, and ~C~'s favorite hobby. He will spend ALL DAY LONG playing this game on the weekends and every minute after school he can. The famous phrase I hear ALOT when I ask him to do something or even tell him that dinner is ready is "I'm runnin' a dungeon"

He has to concentrate, and cannot take his eyes off the screen or he will "die" This is a 2 handed game also, so it takes extra concentration!

~K~ likes to watch Daddy and brother play. She will climb on Daddy's lap and try to "help" him play.

These are a couple of ~C~'s characters that he plays, but he is notorious for them and starting new ones.
