Thematic Photographic is a week long photography theme hosted by Carmi Levy at Written, Inc.  This week’s theme is Orange.  Please stop by his site to be stunned by his photos, and enlightened by his writing. Or at least click on a few ads for him, I’m sure he’ll appreciate it ;)

Friday Fragments – That movie with the, well, you know.

It’s Friday Fragments, time to purge your mind! Got a bunch of happenings hanging around that just don’t quite make up a post? Today’s your day.  Thanks to Mrs. 4444, you can frag away! Link up and read more at Half Past Kissing Time.

• I’m going to see that one movie, you know with the vampires and stuff.  To keep the search engine at a minimum I’m not mentioning the name of it. Like you don’t know.

• I am also mixing up a batch of Hot Wassail (plus a little extra) for standing in line.  We already have the tickets, but we’ll still have to stand in line at least an hour or so to get a decent seat.
• My BFF texted me at 11pm last night and said “Guess where I am”.  She must have gotten tickets to that midnight showing, it was sold out when I tried.  I tried texted her back, it was a rare action because I wasn’t even aware that she knew how to use her text function.  Her response was all garbled and weird.  Like this “¥è$ý   Úªłč    ĘĻŠſŁ  ĶēďȃǨƥǷ….” No clue what happened.  When I texted her to try again, she sent the same thing.  No wonder she never texts anyone.
• We’ve invited the in-laws for Thanksgiving.  Only my hubby’s parents are taking us up on the deal, his two siblings and families are going to their in-laws, too.  That’s fine with me, although we certainly have the room for more.  Sometimes I get the feeling that they look down at us and our not-brand-new house and everything that goes with it.  Whatever.  I am quite happy where I am.
• The kids’ sock hop went well.  I posted a bunch of pictures on Facebook.  Did I mention I made Aria’s poodle skirt?  Ok, just checking.

 

• OK, I guess I don’t have much else.  I’m kinda pumped about the movie thing.  I’d better go get ready!!

ATWT – I Need a Little Support Here…

It’s all gone. I did it. And I had tears in my eyes the whole time.

Remember this picture from last week? Well here’s today’s…

I clipped it off. His beautiful girly curls. There was a pile of blonde hair at my feet. He looks so boy now, so hardcore, as Aria would say. Well I’m not hardcore. I think I might cry. To top it off, after I was done, Mr. Military Daddy told me, “you know I really didn’t care anymore that it was long.”

Excuse me while I lock myself in the bathroom for a few hours.

While I’m doing that, please stop by Jen’s Cheaper Than Therapy for other photos worth a Thousand Words. Hopefully they’re already done crying in the bathroom *wink*.

The Universal Sign for Choking

Wordless Wednesday.  Yikes…

~~~~~ and now some words ~~~~~

OK, OK, she’s fine.  This was just a drill.  She was not actually choking while I stood by and took pictures.  Piper chokes often on food despite my best efforts to keep the really difficult things off her plate.  I mean, Oreo cookies for crying out loud, should not be in the choking category.  It’s really just part of her cerebral palsy, the chewing/swallowing issues.  But sometimes I think she’s just in a hurry to do something else.

See…fine.  Cookie-faced, but fine.

Wordless Wednesday can be found at 5 Minutes for Mom!

Wordful Wednesday can be found at Angies’s Seven Clown Circus.

Happy Birthday to my Boy…oh, and to Daddy.

Today my little boy (the other baby boy) turns SIX!! I have no idea how this happened.  I don’t feel six years older, how can he possibly be??  As it turns out, it’s Daddy’s birthday, too.  Yep, the ultimate gift.  Your very own son for your birthday.  I have nowhere left to go to top that.  Daddy has graciously given up his birthday, vowed never to age again, and has handed the day entirely to Max. 

I Heart Faces – Autumn Beauty

I Heart Faces is a blog all about photography, and, well….faces.  Each week they post a theme and run a contest (usually for bragging rights).  This week's theme is “Autumn Beauty”.  I present to you JC in all his girly-haired autumn glory.  Yes, I know my boy needs a haircut.  I’ve been putting it off a long time, but she he keeps getting told how pretty she he is. I quit telling my husband how often it’s been happening.  Besides, its hard enough to get him to stand still for a picture much less a haircut.  That’s my excuse, anyway!
