Harry Potter Fun!

Caitlin read the first Harry Potter book. We celebrated by watching the movie and having special snacks.  We had chocolate slugs (gummie worms covered in chocolate), every beans, and wands (licorice.)  Nothing like a plate fun of sugar to add to the fun!

Caitlin loved the book and movie, although she hated the book the first time she tried reading it. 7 1/2 was the right age for her to read it. Davey was not a fan of the movie at first but he came around.

Go see Leigh vs. Laundry to see more photos that will make you happy.

Portraits 2 and 3

I didn't already stop by portrait 52 project.  I got really sick last Friday. Stomach bugs stink. Luckily they are quick.

 Today I'm not working as a substitute teacher so I'm off to the gym. Yay!

Last week's portrait with some editing on Pic Monkey. Love that site.

So these are portraits 2 and 3 out of 52. Let me know if you are doing the project and I'll visit you.

I Needed This!

Someone needs to invent a special button on the remote to block the food ads on the tv. I recently had a horrendous stomach bug. I didn't have the energy to do anything but watch tv but the sight of food ads almost send me over the edge. This would also be good of those who are dieting and trying to avoid temptations. Someone invent this. Please!

Basketball

 Caitlin is playing basketball again. I love watching her play. I wish I could take better photos in a gymnasium. Any pointers? I'm lucky if she is not blurry. Forget about the red eye.

I'm joining Gina and Tamar for p52!

Lazy Dog

I love this lazy dog, who is not suppose to be on the couch but is. He makes me happy.

Cute Little Door

Love this cute little door at the kids museum!

52 Weeks of Self Portraits

I decided to do a challenge this year.  I've tried and failed 365 three times. So I'm trying a bit of a more manageable challenge of doing 52 weeks of self portraits. If anyone wants to join me, I'll add a linky. For now link in the comments.
