Mommy’s Trying to be fun

Last Monday Riley didn’t have school. They had staff development day. My house was a mess. I really wanted to clean it. But I didn’t want to waste one of our precious  days together doing that. Besides, the angels (that’s what I call the cleaning ladies who rescue my home once a month) were coming on Tuesday (thanks Mom).  So, I gather my brood and drove them up to see the snow. It was an interesting trip.  The best photo of the day was taken by a cute little oriental man, who came up to me and said, in his very heavy accent: “I take picture” I handed him my camera (I’d seen that he had one similar) and told the kids to look at the guy and smile:

Little Ms. Beka was not happy. She cried most of the time. If she didn’t have a death grip on my finger or up in my arms, she was screaming. Riley on the other hand had a blast! Emma was unsure, but enjoyed playing with her big brother. We ended the trip with a stop at Sam’s Club for lunch and a little shopping.

On a side note: Emma’s favorite place to go right now is Sam’s Club. Every time we get into the car she asks: “Are we going to Sam’s?”

She also says “My favorite place is Sam’s. It’s a wonderful place to shop.” It makes me giggle! I can’t help it. It’s really funny. She  get’s so excited when she sees the logo! What a nut!

Got to Love It

I love it when I have a vision of what I want and it comes out of my camera! It’s so exciting. Like being able to paint or draw and it turning out the way you plan. Of course, sometime you need a little bribery…  I told Emma that she could have the “new” toy she had picked out at Children’s Orchard, if she would be a cooperative model for me. It worked! And so for $4 this is what I got!

I think I got my money’s worth on that one.
I felt like I need to include this cute one of Ms. Beka. She was being such a stinker! She kept disappearing on me! I would take my eyes off her for just a second, and she’d be gone!  But you got to love that smile! She thinks Mommy’s pretty funny!beka for web
Finally, I just have to add how much I LOVE my camera, and the new lens! Check out my bee and flowers!  Got a love it!bee for web
