Into the Ocean

I figured out how to upload a video from photo booth. So now we will have to be more careful with the integrity of the background to make it as realistic as possible. The second half of this one is what I like best. This is actually not the original, but a second rate remake. Anyway. Jeremy and Elaine are pros at the photobooth and have a great time.

Young Rembrandts

I couldn't scan the construction paper "mat" very well because it didn't fit on the scanner, but here are some pieces of art that Elaine, Jeremy, and Alex made at school. Jer's mat was orange and Alex's was yellow. They really added something to the art, but they are still cute without.

Family Picture

Dave has been annoyed that our family picture is so small.  So here it is full size.  Nov. 2007.

Kids' Creativity

Here are some of the kids' creations on photo booth. It is so much fun for them.

Dipping Berries

Strawberries were on sale bigtime last week, so I bought a bunch. I also had to try the dipping wafers they had next to them in the store. I remember from 10 years ago Lynann Ellsworth bringing chocolate dipped strawberries to a YW activity and it has taken me this long to recreate the experience.

You can see how much Ben liked them. He hesitated at first but was the last one standing, so to speak. None of us were spotless, but he takes the cake for really jumping into the chocolate.

Boys Room Revisited

I decided that I could never keep the boys room clean and the beds all made nicely for long enough to trick everyone into thinking it was an ad for PBK, so I might as well just show you what it looks like. I can't get a nice shot from the entry into the room . . . but that is because of the angles of the entry. So instead you get a nice shot of the window with toy boxes underneath, but sideways because I don't know how to rotate it on the blog. Benjamin is the only one who allows me to put the quilt on his bed. Eventually we will put stuff on the walls. Good stuff. And get some beanbags or something. And a rug.
