Photo Challenge: Hands



iheartfaces is doing a "Hands" challenge this week. I thought this picture of the boys holding their daddy's hand last summer was a good example of this theme. I wish I had more time to take pictures, edit them, and try to become a better photographer...but there are only so many minutes in a day to play "Block Buster" and "Ball Blaster" and other such nonsense facebook games. Right?


And I wasn't even wearing tight pants!!!

This morning I stopped at Starbucks to get a birthday gift for a friend. Of course, I also got a latte and a cinamon scone. The total of my order was about $20. I handed my debit card to the cashier, who informed me (quite loudly....) that the card was declined. Call it bad timing on my part, a humongous daycare check for February, and life. I was parked right out front so I said, "Hang on, I'll get my credit card." Took me about 30 seconds, and when I came back in, the cashier said, "Ma'am, you've been taken care of." He pointed to a gentleman leaving the store, who raised his coffee to me and left.

So, thank you, stranger man! You made my day, and I will try to pay it forward to someone else.

See? Sometimes good people come out of the wordwork!


You should pay it forward today, too!!!!!!!

The Naked Chef


No, Not Jamie Oliver, folks. Mr. Henry, our own Naked chef.
Makin' muffins.

The look of defeat, left, in Henry's face....Why? Because Owen pooped on the potty before he did. Owen got a new harmonica and you can see his look of triumph below. Hooray for Owen!

Photo Challenge: We heart kisses

A friend from high school blogged about this other blog today. I went over and checked it out and thought of a funny picture that I could use to join the festivities. The theme at "I Heart Faces" blog for this week is "Kisses." This picture is of Owen grabbing my face and kissing me while the other two obliviously sit there. I think it's funny.

Bathtub woes

I took an epsom salt bath. It was a humiliating experience. But it actually did help my symptoms. Unfortunately, shoving my fat ass into a m...
