Thanksgiving Turkey

I love Thanksgiving day. I love it even more when I don't have to cook.  I love it even more when I don't have to cook and the chef ~my son~ comes to my house and cooks the food.  Hell even better when he brings the turkey too!  Here it is "resting" by the sink after he took it out of the brine it's been soaking in for 3 days.  Oh and it was really, really yummy and well worth the wait.

it's what's for breakfast

Love that one of my girls eats like 4 meals mostly all before 4pm.  I swear she must be a Hobbit.  She loves breakfast any kind of breakfast.  Yep, for her second ~or was it her 3rd?~ she had chips and dip.  Her little sister need a glass of milk so she got that too.  Not sure why the corkscrew is out but hey, it makes a good photo opp.  Yep, there's an opp for that in this house; have camera will take pix.  ;-)~

my momma

after learning how to walk away from his momma, he how can't handle her walking away from him.  LOL  Every time she stood up, he would walk towards her and grab his momma's leg as if to say "NO don't go!"  even tho they spend almost 24/7 together.  The joys of an almost 1 year old.

pomegranate

I love taking photos of food.  It really is an art form in itself, making food look good.  I know, I know people take photos of their food all the time but really, truly does it look good? Artistically good?  That is the secret! 

I went and brought a pomegranate.  As I was eating it and looking at the seeds, seeing the way the juice was puddling it was too staining the cutting board; I thought it would be too cool to pass it up and not take a photo of it.  I did set up the shot, that can be fun in itself, I only wish I got some of the juices pooling at the end of the knife.  Oh well, what do you think?

gotta have art!

Had this paper just sitting around collecting dust and Edd asked if she could use it to paint something on it.  Sure why not?  Go ahead, have fun I said, knock your socks off.  I decided to take a photo of it when she was half done with it because I knew that she would put so much more in it then needed too like most artist do until they realize that less can be more and just S-T-O-P.  I think it looks pretty cool the way it when I took the photo....and I was right she added so much more before stopping.

feather hat

I did a photo session (if you want to see it it's posted on my bluebox photo page) and Edd fell in love the feather head piece she wore it for a good long time.  Here she is just watch TV in it.  I had to finally tell her that it wasn't a toy.  That girl of mine loves to wear things on her hat...that is besides hats in the winter.  LOL

bath time for T

I know She's too big for this baby tub but it's the only way to was make sure she gets clean when she's wearing a cast.  I have a photo of her like this from the last time she was in a cast. 

Nov 14

yeah, they screwed up

Love the fact that we didn't know about this 9 years ago.  T made the toilet overflow by putting to much toilet paper in the toilet.  Not only did she overflow the toilet but it also leaked ~big time~ down stairs into the livingroom.  WELL we found out that it just wasn't her fault.  Some idiot screwed a screw into the pipe!  YEP someone screwed up over 9 years ago when putting in the tub, 9 years of drip, drip drip into the floorboard rotting a small bit of the floor every day.  I guess it's better to have found out this way then having a tub full of water come crashing into the living room.

mead is bottled up

 The mead is bottled up and ready to drink.  We're now just waiting for the 17th of Dec and have our Mead party.  32 bottles ready to drink.  It's so smooth going down and taste so good....yes I had to sample it to make sure that it was good!

new casting

 T needed a new cast again for her leg after getting Botox.  The only way to keep her still so they could do it was with...you guessed it my Ipad.  LOL

king and queen buildings

I wish the way the light was shinning on them really came out the way I saw it this morning.  It was really pretty the way the sun was peeking out from the clouds with sunbeams streaming on the buildings.  Oh well it's my photo of the day anyway.

Nov 10

unfortunately a view from my backyard.

WTH!  Why are they knocking down trees and clearing the land to build more empty lots that stand empty for years?  Can't they just look down the road to see all the empty lots where they did just that a few years ago?  Or the buildings that stand unused that the banks now own?  Crazy but they're doing it again.    And this is only a few yards from my backyard....unfortunately.

naptime for Henry

I needed to go up and see my lovely daughter and we ended up going to the grocery store.  We are just about there and Henry fell asleep, so we decided for her to just go into the store and H and I hang out in the car.  Guess he was tired he slept the whole time she was in there plus another stop and the drive home.  Long car nap for such a tired little boy!

owies on head & hand

Owies all around at the park. Edd got an owie on her head when she was looking where she was going and smacked into a wooden beam.  T got her owie by rubbing her hand up and down a wooden pole and getting a long splinter in her palm.  OUCH! for both of them.

what's wrong with this?

Do you see what I did wrong when I make this iron on for my sweatshirt?  can you see that I made it backwards or I didn't make it backwards?  AND there is only one ta in the ta-tas!  Yeah, I really should do it again but I want to see if anyone will say anything to me about it.  I've worn it twice and no one as said anything about it....yet.

Halloween is over

Halloween is over so that means that it's time to put away all the Halloween stuff.  I love this holiday, and even if I have to put away the stuff away I still have the girls candy to eat/steal until it's all gone.
