me me me meeeeee

I was playing a game with M where she sat in my lap and and I scrolled through the blog and asked her who people were. Of course she knows all her family, but we're working on enunciating names, like she calls J Tedo. Then J came and joined along because sibling rivalry runs strong around here, but point being he is an observant kid and noticed there are no pictures of Mom on there. Then he insisted I take some pictures of myself so they could find me too. I'm way to lazy to set up the tripod and find a clean corner of my house with the right light, but I was having a pretty good hair day, so I sat on the treadmill against a blank wall that happened to have a nice window to one side, stretched out my arms as far as I could and snapped these.





Then M took some of her own self portraits.

Really she was whining and wanted me to hold her, but it totally looks like she's trying to take her own picture don't you think?

Heat Wave

It has been a really nice, cool spring and I love this kind of weather. But we have had one heat wave, and when that heat wave came we discovered our a/c was broken! Aaahh! So the a/c repair guy couldn't come on that first day (lots of other people must have discovered their broken a/c on the same day), but he came by the next evening for the 17th appointment of his day. And you know when it's really hot all day long and then starts to just cool off a tad little bit in the shade outside, but your house is still cookin' hot so you go outside in search of even the smallest respite from the heat?! Well that's when I took these pics.

Trains are popular at our house. Although that is a dump truck...


M taking a break after running up and down the sidewalk. How do kids still have the desire to run in the burning heat?




J taking it easy. That's a lie actually. He was running all over the place too.






And a little texture for fun.




Our a/c was fixed shortly after all this running amuck, and we went inside, closed up, and turned it on all night long.
