Whew!
What a work out! They love to torture Daddy by climbing on his leg and "letting" him bounce them up and down. They would be happy if he never stopped but one leg can only take so much.

Two Balloons = Two Years
This little trick was learned from Cassie. The birthday baby gets to let go of the past years in balloons. It's very sentimental and special for the birthday boy or girl. This Mama was very near tears when Carter let go of his first two years. We had a great party and this big dude was happy to let some balloons go.

A Cake for Two Birthdays
The two blue are for my Carter Baby's second birthday. The three pink are for Kimmy's three decades. We were so excited that she could stick around for cake after watching the boys Friday and Saturday.

Collide
Was a complete success. This painting was created on 30 different canvases. Mike (The Jesus Painter) created this amazing piece of art. He worked out a grid and traced lines on each canvas. He printed 30 value scales and 30 squares to replicate. It was truly amazing to see how differently each person interpreted their value scale. Once they came together they made this INCREDIBLE piece of art. This was one of many labs today. Collide was a hit.

Melanie
You are stinkin' cute! I'm so glad I know you! I met Melanie in CCYM. We only see each other 6~ish times a year but I love hanging out with every youth there! They have the best stories.

Corn Stalks
From a distance. You can see the stalks tied together in the field over the hill. There is also the awful pink chair left behind waiting to be burned. It smelled terrible and was falling apart. Mother Earth, I apologize.

The Incredible House Warming Gift
We received an amazing house warming gift in the mail today. Thank you to the gifters. You can't imagine our appreciation. We were a bit concerned that the box came with multiple tears and holes. Naturally, I took pictures just in case.

A Childhood Favorite
So with the move comes new restaurants. There is a Friendly's in Mount Vernon. I WAS SO EXCITED when I saw it. This instantly brought me back to Stow High. We bounced between Pizza Hut and Friendly's after band shows, concerts and football games. When we were little Mom and Dad used to bring us to Friendly's for sundaes. This cone head was a staple in our childhood. My sons did not disappoint. They too LOVE the cone head sundae. They especially love the hidden candy in the bottom and the messy chocolate on the cone.

Happy Birthday Kellen!!!!
He was not finger painting. He was digging in to his birthday cake. He started off strong but as soon as his hand hit that cake the room cheered and Kellen freaked out. He spent time crying and his Aunt Allyson and Aunt Heidi stepped right up so he wouldn't miss any of that deliciousness. Happy Birthday Buddy!

The New Hiding Spot
The pantry is the boys new favorite spot. They turned around when I opened the door. I love watching them adapt and use their imaginations.

Lexi Loo
We sure are gonna miss this little ball of fire. I watched Lexi after school this whole school year. Michael cried hard when we left her today.

Woodsfield's Oasis
Michael and I were back in Woodsfield to attend school till we could get him in a new preschool. I have no idea what the inside of this place looks like but the sign and the little wooden shoe above the door were always intriguing.

It's Not Much But it's Mine.
I'm taking drawing for school and all I had for photos today was a couple drawings and my composition photos. So...Tah Daaaah!

This Silly Lunch Lady
He is too funny. He put this net over his whole head and said "Look Mommy! I'm one of those ladies who make food."

Cake Tester
A cake tester from a broom maker. You simply break off a piece to check your cake. If it's clean, you're done!

Best Buddies
Regan stayed the night last night. It was our last chance to have her to that house so we jumped all over it. We are about to go to our last Sunday here. We sure will miss this girl!

This complete stranger came and plowed our drive today. I was so excited that I grabbed my camera and ran to the door!!! Thank you Mr.!!!

Michael, Carter and Carter
Trying to get all the buddy time we can get while we are still here. Carter is very reserved until he isn't any more. WHEW! That was a fun day!

The Mighty STINK EYE!!!
Michael has to prepare for this. He looks away then concentrates VERY hard! Hee hee hee.

Sleeping
Because I can't possibly take his picture if he has his eyes closed. :º) Maybe he'll warm up to the idea come October.

Drawing class
I nearly forgot to take my daily photo today. Whew! Good thing I remembered at 11:30! This is an apple. This course has really challenged me. I have learned so much about lighting, composition and texture. I look forward to the next course!

There's Got to Be Something to Do!!!
As the boxes are filling up the cupboards are emptying. The boys have less and less to play with so they are finding ways to amuse themselves. In turn, they are amusing me. Carter found this spot and used the heck out of it. He did NOT like the doors open. He was hiding and that was that. He is so much better at this than his brother. Michael hasn't quite figured out the hiding end of hide and seek.

Valentine's Day Dinner
Moffett-Fletcher had a Valentines dinner today. The irony of this photo cracks me up. It was Valentine's day and these men were sitting together talking and their wives were at another table talking. It was so romantic. :ºD

Snow Drift
Something about that title makes me think of "TOE PICK!" We moved some things to our new place today. Kimmy and I were about 15 minutes in front of everyone else so we stopped at this boat ramp and fulfilled our photo-of-the-day requirements. I can't wait to check this place out in the spring when there is color.

Check Out the Size of That Icecicle!!!
This thing came off our back gutter. Regan and Michael LOVED it! Michael even played it like a guitar.

This Boy...
...Makes the best faces!!! I'm sorry for the reason they had to be here but I am NEVER sorry to see Gwenn and Isaac! Gwenn and anybody for that matter. I'm glad I got the chance to see them even if it was two short visits over two and a half weeks. He was cheesing it up for my camera.

Sofa Sandwich
My Carter finds the best hiding places. He was between the sofa bed and the seat cushion.

Now That's What I'm Talkin' About!
This spaghetti is one of my favorite dishes ever. So what if my kid is still in his jammies enjoying this deliciousness? Thank you Grandpa Alaburda for passing this yumminess on!
