Polaroid Wannabe 8/52

Polaroid 9/52

I have been pretty lame about taking photos and documenting our lives lately. This photo originally was pretty plain and blah, but with a little help from photoshop, I’ve managed to take it from ok to decent. Don’t worry though; my thinking cap is on and I plan to come up with something a little more creative this coming week!

I Blinked

September 9th, 2010

I really do need to stop blinking so much because everytime I do, some sort of major change happens. Take for example that sweet little girl of ours. It seems like just yesterday she was crawling around in diapers and drooling on everything. But in reality, yesterday she started kindergarten. How did she grow so fast? Where has the time gone? I kept asking myself that over and over as she ate her breakfast in the morning, then walked to school with the neighbors. The next thing I knew, she was hanging up her book bag in her locker and walking into her classroom waving good by to Mama Mom & Daddy Dad, starting the next phase of her life.

Sicko 7/52

Sicko 7/52

Someone hasn’t been feeling well the past couple of days, so we have been laying low and taking it easy. Right after I snapped this picture though, she hopped out of bed and asked to go outside to play with the pups. It reminded me of this poem by Shel Silverstein.

“I cannot go to school today,”
Said little Peggy Ann McKay.
“I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash and purple bumps.
My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,
I’m going blind in my right eye.
My tonsils are as big as rocks,
I’ve counted sixteen chicken pox
And there’s one more–that’s seventeen,
And don’t you think my face looks green?
My leg is cut–my eyes are blue–
It might be instamatic flu.
I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,
I’m sure that my left leg is broke–
My hip hurts when I move my chin,
My belly button’s caving in,
My back is wrenched, my ankle’s sprained,
My ‘pendix pains each time it rains.
My nose is cold, my toes are numb.
I have a sliver in my thumb.
My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,
I hardly whisper when I speak.
My tongue is filling up my mouth,
I think my hair is falling out.
My elbow’s bent, my spine ain’t straight,
My temperature is one-o-eight.
My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,
There is a hole inside my ear.
I have a hangnail, and my heart is–what?
What’s that? What’s that you say?
You say today is. . .Saturday?
G’bye, I’m going out to play!”

The Fall Fifteen

September 2nd, 2010

Crunchy leaves and cooler weather are right around the corner. This year Pinky and I decided that it would be fun to try to complete some new (and old) activities between September 1st and Thanksgiving. It took us awhile to assemble a list of things that seemed to be neat for fall, as well as fit into our busy schedules. Of course, we will be documenting all of our activities right here, so stay tuned to see how much we get accomplished!

1. Jump in a pile of leaves
2. Eat pumpkin pie
3. Carve pumpkins
4. Make a gravestone rubbing
5. Go trick or treating
6. Drink apple cider
7. Do leaf project
8. Visit a corn maze
9. Attend a football game
10. Walk to Starbucks for a Pumpkin Spice Latte
11. Create some spooky art
12. Take a hike in the woods
13. Go apple picking
