Party, Sunday and a Generator

We interrupt our regularly scheduled posts to bring you this . . .

We went to a friend's party last Saturday night.  

It was a s'mores party. 

Our friend is from Texas.

Cool way to serve drinks.

Faith and Gracie

This set up is out on their covered patio.  It's pretty cool.

Looks like something in a magazine.

 The s'mores table.  

Lots of different flavored marshmallows, chocolates and crackers/cookies.

Pretty much sums up the night.  

Sprite and s'mores.  

For Yumm!

Sunday morning we all went to church.

After lunch we got into our regular duds to mess with the generator.

With all of the sickness we had around here we were a little late in dragging it out to run it. 

After a little snafu with the carburetor leaking, which we fixed up good, she ran!!

We plugged in the hairdryer to test it out and it worked! 

We were excited!

Yeah!!  

(Yes, I wore a skirt to mess with the generator.  I'm crazy like that)

Now stay tuned for a post or two about Grace's birthday.

Selfies

We have many cameras in our house.

A DSLR, four cell phones, two tablets and one "phablet".

One of the cool things about having so many cameras around the house is the endless supply of pictures taken by the kids.

They are little surprises for me.

I found these on the tablet of Jon and Matthew.

Hmmmm.

Thinking.

Bored.

Grace and I took a few ourselves.

Cutie!

Stay tuned for a big birthday post.

Pictures, Strep and Projects

So, two years ago I got an awesome camera as a gift from Brian.  Since then I have succeeded in messing around and getting some great pictures.  As Grace's first birthday approaches I decided to get serious about taking some pictures on purpose.  

So, I set up a little "studio" in the living room and snapped away.

They turned out pretty well. 

I also have an awesome phone with a superb camera so I tried some with that.

I used a little editing on my phone and got this.  Kinda cool looking. 

Also last week I had to take this guy to the doctor.  

Selfies in the clinic.

Turns out he has strep throat.

Off to the pharmacy we go . . . 

Is this the face of a sick kid?  I don't think so.  

While we were gone at the clinic and pharmacy, Brian and the kids decked out the hallway.

Now our super hero masks are easily accessible and readily available. 

I love it!  

 Andrew and Peter worked on a birdhouse together.

They hung it on the tree in the back yard.  

Stay tuned for more . . . 

At Target

At Target last week Peter strolled by the eggs and then ran back exclaiming 

"Mom!  Can we get the chocolate eggs just for me, Mom?!  Please!!"

Silly boy!
