Happy Valentine’s Day

On to the week in photos:

A bike ride. Everything is awesome! A fun shot of our vintage theater. Jacuzzi time. A trip to the tide pools.  ” Mom, it’s a hermit crab.”  “New Hermy City” ( because of all the hermit crabs) Climbing and exploring.  Harry is holding the tiniest starfish. The tiniest starfish hanging with his new friend hermit crab. Us together. (Hubby took the shot.) Harry imitating a hermit crab. Weird! A cool little cave.  Off to an engineering class. Harry built a hyrdrobot. Showing Dad how it works.  Patrick left me a little note to start my day.  Working at Starbucks. Being silly at Starbucks. Building paper airplanes at school. The competition. (It seems Dad’s won). Looking through a giant telescope. You could see Jupiter and four of its moons.

Have great President’s Day Weekend!!

A week in photos:

My boys snuggling while watching an Alaskan wilderness survival show.  Harry lovin’ on Moomba while Moomba wonders when its ever going to end.Harry is really into origami. This was his first get together with the origami society. He started with a dragon and a whale. I guess he proved himself because “the guy” ( the one who has written lots of origami books and is quite the expert) decided Harry was worthy and taught him how to make a cool tessellated inspired box top. And I learned a new word “tessellated”. And here is the end result. That is some serious origami. Fort Day. Harry tore apart the living room to make his pirate ship, sails, ships wheel and all. A clay dragon. Raja sunning himself. After weeks of begging for lasagna, it finally arrived. Now Harry could be just like Garfield. This little gem of rock art was found on a walk. It made my day. Harry randomly touched something on the iPad and it froze. He was heartbroken thinking he had ruined it forever. The iPad is fine, but this note is priceless.Raja can’t resist a box.  It’s a “Lovey Party” – all the “friends” come out, we bring soft blankets and make sugar cookies. Shopping for Valentines at Target. Bought paints for a big project and couldn’t resist a little photo shoot.  All the pretty colors just make me smile.

Happy Friday!!!

A week in photos….

My long, stretchy cat who twists in ways I didn’t know possible.

He chalks his face in every art class. He says he is like a “Creeper” from Minecraft but I don’t think I understand.

Finishing Artemis Fowl. ( a self-timer shot)

The Pokemon XY pre-release tournament.

Jumping on a beautiful day. I can’t resist a jumping shot.

Playing with negative space during a sunny day with blue skies.

Can you believe the craziness of night swimming on a January day?

There can never be enough Calvin and Hobbes!

The Scream – Otter version. hmm….

Working on another creation.

He is such an easy kid but when it comes to haircuts he is a nightmare, but it was time to suffer because I really wanted to see his eyes again.

Happy Friday!

Fridays, I thought I would share my photos from the past week. I have been taking photos of my family and our lives every day for the past 4 years. Capturing the little moments, the big adventures, the details, the emotions, the stories, all of it. There is nothing like it.

A 1500 Van Gogh puzzle from Christmas that is still in progress.

Miniature golf in Storybook Land.

My cat staring longingly at the new printer he wants to play with (which is probably why the last printer broke.)

Another incredible sunset.

We finally got a chance to play Qwirkle – a gift from Santa and we can’t get enough. What a great strategy game.

Two of my cats acting incredibly demanding  and not letting me get a thing accomplished.

My boys on the way home from breakfast.

My son has been obsessed with Sherlock Holmes for quite a while. He saw a segment on the CBS Sunday Morning Show and decided a trip to the library to get Hound of the Baskervilles was a must and I certainly won’t deny my son a trip to the library. He even got to find his book in the adult section.

A playdate with his friend. They are building Harry Potter legos and creating stop action films.

My sweet baby girl kitty.

Picked my son up from school with this rainbow loom creation in process. I guess he snuck a baggie full of bands out of the house in the morning. (Good thing the school got a grant for separate forks and spoons because this probably wouldn’t have happened with sporks.)

His first lesson in perspective, using horizon and depth. Please notice the sun setting on the water, over the dome that protects those entering Poseidon’s castle.

Happy Friday!
