Are You Ready For Some Football?

Loving My New Camera

It's Magic

I'm having much fun playing with the settings on my new camera! I dig that it will add a smile to a non-smiling face. It gave Corey more of a grimace, but it's kind of fun anyway.

Who Needs A Teddy Bear?

Let me tell you, as the woman of the house, I feel very well protected knowing my two-year-old went to sleep cuddled up to his arsenal of sticks (I didn't even realize these were in his room when I put him to bed.) Bad guys, beware: Lewis Harms may be small, but he can hold his own with people considerably larger than himself.

Badge of Honor

"Mom, Mom!! Guess what I got playing football today?" - Owen
"I don't kn0w. What did you get?" - Me (thinking he was going to say a touchdown.)
"I got green on my pants and a hole in my knee!" - Owen

To him, a grass stain and tear in his pants are like badges of honor. To me, it's the demise of a good pair of khakis.

Leaning Tower of Legos

Owen and his new neighbor/friend, Caleb, built the tallest Lego tower I have ever seen. It was quite impressive, but not very stable.

New Temporary Pet

It's a salamander. Our neighbor, Bret, caught it at his office and thought our boys would like it. Of course, they love it. Especially since we made them get rid of all the frogs and toads a couple weeks ago. We'll let them keep this guy for a little while before we make them release him into the wild. Notice my boys' attire. It was drizzly and maybe 55 degrees today. Perfect barefoot, shirtless weather. Wouldn't you agree?
