It's Friday

We are so glad when it's Friday. That means Mike won't have to work for 2 days. Okay, he'll have to work, just not at the office. We are going to look at wood for a mantle tommorow. The fun never ends around here.

Here's Tyler and Austin after school. Don't our neighbors have great steps?

Splish Splash

they were taking a bath. They love to get into my bathtub. They also like to fight over who gets to sit by the faucet and the toys. However, after the fighting they do enjoy this time together. I enjoy this time because it means it's almost bedtime!

Sea World

Tyler had the day off of school, and our household was all feeling good so we decided to join some friends at Sea World for the day. Tyler had a great time because there were cool friends to play with. Austin got a frozen lemonade and cotton candy, so he was happy. Mom got to spend an easy day with friends. The weather was perfect and Sea World was almost empty. I love living in San Diego!

My neighbor Trisha decided to take Austin and Reagan (who are 3 days apart) on the teacups. As soon as they started going, both kids fell over and they had to stop the ride. They all ended up sitting squished together. Austin didn't cry- so it was a success!

Silhouette dos

We are going to have to try this at the beach. I keep getting junk in the background. This was bribed with candy, and Austin still moved. Luckily, there was a dog at the park for the kids to play with when this was done. Do you think the color is too much?

Half

I saw a picture with just half a face and loved the look. I don't know if this works, but I kind of like it. Just trying to branch out and ignore Tyler while he throws a tantrum!

Wednesday's POTD

Try #2 at the same shot in my kitchen. I think I like this one better.

I took Austin to the pet store to look at dogs today. I've never seen him happier. Makes me feel bad that I want nothing to do with a dog right now.

Attempting

I've wanted to do a silhouette shot for awhile. This evening we went to a park that I thought would have a good vantage point for the sunset. The sun did not set where I thought it would so I got all the lovely houses and fences in the background. I have a new spot for next time. It will be better next time (fingers crossed). Another challenge is getting Austin to stay where I position him. He likes to move!
