Day 125

Okay - first, let me say I just got around to checking out the Pioneer Woman Photoshop actions. OMG - so so cool! Second, look at possibly the coolest skirts on the planet! You'll get a better look at them because we are SO going to go do some posed shots somewhere, but here they are in action! I won the little one in the recent Love Without Boundaries art action and when I won, I found out that a mom from my adoption agency was the artist and she let me buy a second one for my big girl. They came today and we had to bust them out tonight! OH they are so so pretty, but even better - they twirl like nothing I've every seen! Thank you!!

Okay - little plug for her! Here is her Etsy shop -

You'll see these skirts again because the detail is amazing in them!

Day 124

So tonight, I was delayed going home. There was a fatal accident on one of the roads I cut through and the streets were closed as the police investigated the scene. I didn't have to pick up the girls so I wasn't in a hurry - but I had plenty of time to contemplate. I decided to stop by the cemetery (I pass it every day - twice) to visit my dad's grave. This is from one of the rose bushes that line the path up to his niche. Its a really nice, quiet place.

Day 123

My Beanie Baby - she found her winter hat and wore it to the grocery tonight -such a funny little thing. Here she is enjoying the best Popsicle flavor (imho) - grape - yum!

Day 122

They are so big this week and spend a lot of time on the edge of the nest, stretching their wings. I caught them sleeping - this one is the character that sleeps on its side and I just love how the other bird is watchfully standing over.

Day 121

It was rainy today so Mom made a fort out of the dining room chairs and blankets to jazz up movie time. The kids watched Fraggle Rock and Jungle Book 2 (well C. did, T. mostly ran around causing a commotion). The kids seemed to enjoy the fort. =)

Day 120

Happy {i}NSD! (for you non-geek's - that's International Scrapbooking Day! Susan came over to spend the day showing off her shiny new laptop and enjoying me turn positively green. Notice how she chose my very favorite color (down to the mouse...) Isn't it gorgeous?

We had a really great day - we had a super lunch at Elephant Bar and then scrapped in peace all all all day!

Day 119

This is how Dad puts T. to sleep - he sits with his ipod in a totally dark room while she drifts off. This is her FAVORITE way to go to sleep - next to her favorite person, her Baba. I wasn't sure how this would turn out - the room was so dark, I couldn't even find them at first through the viewfinder!
