We Made IT !!!

Pretty

Something dying that is oh so beautiful.

Still LIfe Standout

I have decided to participate in Still Life Standouts which I saw over at Ramblings & Photos.

It's a Prickly Pear Cactus, I think.

Check out the other entries over at My Reflection of Something. FUN!!!

A Trip To The Children's Museum

I think these speak for themselves. All I can say is it was fun but it was a total zoo. 

The kids didn't mind.

I'm kind of worried. Should I be? I'm not sure how I will handle this experience, it can't be good, I drive ALL the time. 

The last picture above says it all. Look at his face and her body position, I want to weep right now. 

And then there is this, and the van wasn't even moving!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday July 31

I did it !!! Well kind of, there are a few pictures in here from the archives but I gotta do what I gotta do. I might say which ones but really it will be obvious by the stretch! So here are my entries for Scavenger Hunt Sunday over at Ramblings & Photos. Check out the other entries there.

Walking Empty Streets : So I wasn't walking and the streets weren't empty but it's Houston and it's hot and the streets are never empty so this is what I got. I certainly didn't imagine finding the Weiner Mobile in my rearview mirror !!!

Repeating Patterns : This is the climbing structure at The Houston Children's Museum, never go there in the summer !!! It was crazy, even for the most tolerant parents.

Floor : The floor in the gym before the 2nd basketball game of the day. I love to see the kids playing ball, it warms a mother's heart!!! Their dad and I fell in love over basketball games, GO ROCKETS !!

Then & Now : On the left was Then, Friday, when Tyler still had nice beautiful long bangs. Now, Yesterday when I came home from an errand, this is what he had done to himself. Ryan says he looks like an Umpaloompa, I tend to agree. But Lord have mercy that it was handsome Umpaloompa !!! I'll be posting more of this episode shortly .

Fingertips : That's Dylan with her come hither look, or with her attempt at a come here look. I'm scarred !!!or is it scared? Either one they are interchangeable in this instance!

So that's it for this Scavenger Hunt Sunday, head on over and visit Ramblings and Photos for more of the amazing entries! 

I Know

I know he is 10 and I know it's 108 outside but gosh I love this child. He was waiting with binoculars in hand and a long sleeve flannel on for the little girl across the street and her mom to come to dinner. Did I mention that the little girl is 18 months old?

Scavenger Hunt Sunday July 24

Wow Scavenger Hunt Sunday over at Ramblings & Photos, 2 weeks in a row for me, pretty good! I have taken a short hiatus from my camera. I haven't been feeling inspired and sometimes I actually dread carrying it around. Plus I'm loving my iphone and Instagr.am !!! So I really wanted to pick up the camera again this weekend and got some chances to do just that. Here are my entries for the week :

Music To My Ears :

I imagine when I stop hearing the car and the pow pow noises the music to my ears will stop as I know it. I love to hear them softly in their own worlds!

Hat :

OK Hats, I'd like to thank her for always being sooooo ready to get in front of the camera for me. I can't get Ryan to for anything. 

Clear : I just did a major kitchen reorg, mainly because I wanted to go The Container Store but also because we needed it, I haven't done any spring cleaning in years. So here are the CLEAR glass containers that I'm putting out to pasture. 

Out of This World : This apparently is the bus that takes the kids to Hogwarts. From my little fiery redheaded friend Thomas and his AMAZING Lego collection.

Sprinkles : A while back I saw something about taking pictures in a mason jar, so here are my sprinkles in a clear glass jar. I do love the reflection. (Looks kind of like a donut right) 

I enjoyed participating, to see some of the other great entries check out Rambling & Photos.
