Weekend Snapshot
Photo Friday – Ordinary
Sky Watch Friday
Nobody’s gonna’ steal your thunder, nobody’s gonna’ tell you lies
Leave a trail of intentions with you under your pillow -
Nobody’s gonna’ drag you under, nobody’s gonna’ shoot you down
Not as long as there’s an angel watching over your china sky- Xenon
When I look up from my deck this is the beauty I see.
How can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I’ve become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home -Evanescence
I took this picture before having kids. I spent the morning at the Botanical Gardens and too a lot of beautiful photos. When I showed my husband a few this was the one he chose as his favorite. He actually wanted a copy of it made in 8 x 10 so that he could frame it. He liked the look of everything looking dead. Ok?!
Wordless Wednesday-Fall 2004
Come on over to Wordless Wednesday to see some awesome pictures or to play along.
How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do! Robert Louis Stevenson
Mary, Sorry this is my last submission for Ruby Tuesday. I just can’t get enough of the lovely red.
The only red is my son’s trunks but I absolutely love this picture.
Happy Ruby Tuesday to everyone who steps onto my blog. Have a pleasant day.

August 25th – Where the hell was my camera?
August 26th – I took the kids to the botanical gardens. We go about 4 times a year. It was pretty sad to see so many of the flowers dying, just means that summer is ending. It was still beautiful and I took some amazing pictures.
August 27th – I went to the park with Sheress and the kids. We got there early and had the park mostly to ourselves except for some pita (pain in the ass) kid who decided to purposely spill his Red Bull drink all over the tunnels. Who gives their 11 year old Red Bull anyway? There is just as much sugar and caffeine if not more than soda. My son and Sheress son aren’t as close as I would want them to be but I am still holding out hope that they turn out to be good friends.
August 28th – I took the kids to Borders. I really needed to get my new Amy Knapp’s Family Organizer. It really is the best. I let the kids pick out a book each every time we go. My son always picks from the Bargain bins (I love that). Border does have some awesome Bargain bins. I do a lot of my Christmas shopping through them for the kids on my list. With 18 kids under the age of 18 to buy for you really need to spend wisely.
The book he picked was an Elmo book and had finger puppets. I have been the audience to many finger puppet shows this weekend as you can imagine.
August 29th – We spent some time at the library where we checked out a small book shelf worth. I Read all of them 3 times and played some games with the kids. My son has been wanting to open up a manicure kit I have in my bedroom because he thinks the gloves are like boxing gloves. Wii and boxing are his favorite things at the moment. I told him the hot pink gloves are for my hands but he wore them and punched his Power Ranger punching bag for about 10 minutes. Whatever keeps him busy for a while is fine with me.
August 30th – We did some food shopping in the morning and then we got the car washed at the $5.00 car wash in town. This was their second trip through it and my daughter was a little nervous. To read more or to see a small video head on over here.
August 31st – Today when I walked onto the deck there was a small white butterfly on it’s back. I put it on the table and took some pictures of it walking around. Goddess asked to hold it. She was so gentle and sweet with it made me think about getting her a pet for about 2 seconds. I loved watching her face as she told me it was tickling her or that she was not going to drop it. She must have held it for about 15 minutes before putting it down. She asked about it all day. I hope it eventually got its strength back and moved on.

Photo Hunt – Beautiful
She is not just visually beautiful what makes her really beautiful is her crazy, playful side. I love her crazy faces. She cracks me up and I pray that she is always remembers her playfulness.
