The Children's Museum-again

I love that place! And I love that we have a membership and can go anytime we want. This time Daddy was able to go with us. And he took his really nice camera so we got some really nice pictures. 322 of them! I wonder what Blogger would do if I tried to download them all.

Here are the highlights.


K loves the carousel. Absolutely loves it. We went on it twice and both times her smile was this big and she clapped and waved at everyone (she's gonna be a mayor one day) and had the best time.


C was pretending to be a dinosaur and lay eggs. Silly boy.


This is the outside of the museum. Pretty impressive.

I think the effect of this picture is so cool.

Notice anything wrong with this backpack? Look at the name and then look at the picture. This was hanging in the "house" in the Egyptian exhibit. Wonder if they noticed the "FAIL."

In the Barbie exhibit, there is a number you can text the word BARBIE to and you will get a call from Barbie. K thought that was pretty cool. When I asked her what she said, "Stuff."

At the drawing board making new creations for Barbie's line of clothing.

I think what the wall says explains it all.

The current traveling exhibit right now is Polar Bears to Penguins. So K got to dress up as a penguin and slide down the ice. Did you know that a polar bear will never eat a penguin? Do you know why? Polar bears live at the North Pole and penguins live at the South Pole. Interesting.

Here they are measuring the distance from our city to the south pole. A long ways.

K was selling tickets to the train. Looks like she's in jail.

C and his "bright idea." Goofy kid.

I know this is blurry but I wanted you to see it anyways. The light kept moving and changing colors and shapes. So the kids were chasing it all over. It was kinda fun to watch them. Wish I had that much energy.

And this is my favorite picture of the day. Even though the kids aren't in it. I thought Daddy did such a good job capturing the carousel. Isn't that just so neat? Good job Daddy!

Collages

Daddy has had so much fun with his new camera lately. He's also had fun with the picture software on his business computer. Here is the end result of all such fun. Good job Daddy!

Misc. K "stuff"

And here is K's randomness.

Cracks me up. Princess crown, dress, shoes. Woobie and thumb in the mouth. Nice.
Sharing thumbs.

Princess? Spiderwoman? Not sure.

Such a cute scary face.

K is very jealous of her woobie. She doesn't want anyone to get it "hot." She only likes "cold woobies."

'Memeber C's boo boo? When we went to get his stiches out, both of the kids got a sheet of stickers. K wanted to have some sympathy for C and the bandaids on his face. But she wasn't counting on them hurting when she went to take them off. Made me laugh. She didn't think it was so funny.

K loves to "help" Daddy mow grass. I think she thinks she's actually mowing.

She always uses these backwards. Not sure what she sees. But she's usually looking for butterflies.

Misc. C "stuff"

In going through my pictures, I've come across so many "misc." pictures. I decided to dedicated 2 posts to "randomness." One for C and one for K.

Remember that bucket of Legos? and the monster C made? Here is his latest creation. Pretty good.

Not sure what he was thinking, but it will be a good black mail picture later in life.Every time I cut C's hair, he wants a mowhawk. So I cut it and after the picture, fixed it to "normal."

Posing. Nice freak boy.

All his bike "gear." Now he doesn't even wear it.

C's 7 year pictures

Today I got C's 7 year pictures. Once again, I spent way too much money, but they turned out so good! He did great! Here are just 2. Remember, they are scanned. In real life, they look so much better.

Question: How do I rotate a pix once in Blogger? Or is that a no-no?

SPOILER!!!

Beware! Pictures to follow!

I took K to get her 3 year pictures today (a little late, I know). I tried a new place this time called Portrait Innovations. I think they are somewhat nationwide. I was pretty impressed. I like the fact that they don't charge a sitting fee. Since my JCP portrait membership expired, I would have to pay $9.95 per person! Not so much a big deal this time; but I plan on getting family pictures soon. OUCH! Anyways. You also get your pictures back w/in 20 minutes.

K is my ham, my funny girl, my photogenic one. I expected her to blossom in front of the camera. She did not--at first. She was somewhat stiff and wouldn't smile. Not like her. Finally after a little coaxing she came out of her shell. Her last shots were her spinning around in circles and acting like the K I had expected. The one thing I DON'T like about them--you only get to pick one pose, unless you plan on spending $758!!! Seriously??? Who does that? They do have a great deal though on the one pose. For $10 I got: 10x13, two 8x10, four 5x7, four 3x5, 32 wallets, and 6 greeting cards/envelopes! Not bad! Now I did pay extra for a sepia tone 8x10 and that's where they get you! I think that was like $25. But I have really nice shelf above my computer desk w/ each of the kids pix in sepia in classy black frames. And K's seriously needed updated.

So here is a scanned copy of K's 3 year picture. Just remember, it is a scanned copy. The original is so much better.

Family: BEWARE! If you don't want to see this until you get yours in the mail--STOP READING NOW!

BTW: I didn't scan the sepia one. I didn't think it would turn out very well.

Beach family pictures

On the Friday that we were in P'cola, we went to the beach to take pictures. It was a rather cloudy day, but that kinda made picture taking easier. We didn't have to squint into the sun. Daddy took most of the pictures, except for the ones that he was in. Unca brought his camera and took some pictures too, but I don't have copies of those yet (HELLO UNCA!) I think the pictures turned out very well. The kids just wanted to play in the sand. The world's biggest sandbox EVER! After pix were all done, we changed them and let them just have at it. They built sand castles, flew a kite, put their toes in the water (it was cold), and ran all over. It was a good time. Here are the highlights of the pictures. We took 100+ pictures. I don't think blogger would like me if I downloaded them all. We are going to get some blown up and printed-hopefully soon.

I think this is a good picture of my mom and brother (Unca).

I love this of my mom and K girl.


Isn't this cute? My Grandma (the kids call her GiGi) and my kiddies.

My two cute kiddies and my mom and dad.

Our "original" family.

Daddy thought of this picture, but then his feet weren't even in it because he was taking the picture. A tripod would have done the trick.

What a cute father and son!

I love this picture of Papa and K girl! Too cute!

My wonderful family.

I know this doesn't show their faces, but I like this picture of my sissy and her husband.

And the best for last. Me and my wonderful husband!

And these are just my favorites of all of our pictures. We had quite the fun time!
