Deadlines

DSC_1227

Wow, it's been a little crazy around here with a number of time-constrained projects.

The yearbook deadlines are upon us, and I have been taking pictures like the paparazzi.
Which would be a blast if I didn't have to narrow them down to put into the layout afterwards.
 Here's Bethany's concert.  The girl knows how to spot her parents in the crowd.

When we came home she got her Betty Crocker on.

Yum!  Everyone stayed up late because the kids had the day off school today.

Mom was a tired puppy.

It was a two-cup cure.

Ben got up asking for pancakes.
Who could resist that face?

Well, that face had no problem resisting me.
Love my tweens!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday





1.  Routine

DSC_0764

Oh my, this picture makes me laugh.  The routine is our Friday nights out.  Many times there is somewhere we have to be later (always having to do with a ball of some sort), but in spring and fall we get a reprieve now and then and can take our time.  Then we go to a restaurant where it's nice to linger, like this one.  50 bonus points to whoever names it.

2.  Music

3.  Technology

This tool is meant to make a fruit boat out of your watermelon.  I have had it for years and never used it for that.  However, today when I noticed my bathroom sink draining very slowly, this solved the problem like nothing else ever has.  That's technology at its finest in my book.

4.  Show Me Your Style

Bethany told me one of her friends said,
"I bet you can't go a week without wearing a skirt or skort and leggings."
Well she did it, but she was glad when it was over.
She is not into posing for me these days,
so here she is on her way to the bus.

The style of boys here on the tundra is, "What jacket?"
But hey, full-serve is back!

5.  Mismatch

I saw Bethany's bedtime feet and laughed and said, "That's cute!"
She said, "Well, it's a mismatch."  Not even knowing I was looking for one.
She let me take a picture of it.
