Love, Laughter, and Tears

Just a few random pics that I haven't gotten around to posting yet...

I'm still getting used to my new lens (it's manual focus) so I always have a few that turn out like this- not only do I miss the focus on the subject, but there is not one thing in the whole photo that is in focus. But sometimes, even through all the blurriness, you get a shot that captures such great emotion, that it almost looks like that's the look you were going for.

Yeah, yeah, that's it, I meant to do it this way.

Can't you just hear her laughing, though?

He must be getting new teeth, don't you think? This boy bites everything.

But sure doesn't like it when he is told "no!"

Spelling

The boys don't need any help with their spelling (unlike their mother) but we had a great idea for a little project to help study our words.
You start with craft close pins,


Paint them black,




Wash up while the paint dries,




Glue some googly eyes on and tape a paper cutout of your spelling words to your close pins and you have something that looks like a caterpillar.


Put them in a jar of your choice, (you don't want them crawling all over the house, do you?)


And when a word is mastered, slip on it's wings,



And hang up for everyone to enjoy.

More work than it's worth? Yeah, maybe, but it was fun.

Big Accident

There was a pop tart incident this morning. A train was derailed and held up traffic for hours, but luckily no one was seriously hurt.




Did I forget to tell you? Amy and I have started up our month on theme blog again. This time we promise not to quit halfway through. ;)
Go check it out.
