Lately the kids have been finding silly things to do and asking me to take their picture. Most of the time I have a hard time actually getting the picture taken because before I click the shutter Kaden is up and running towards me saying, "See? See?" That in itself is cute. I should try to take a video of it! :)
My Dad has been here quite a lot lately (he lives part time here and part time in my childhood home) helping to take care of Mom since her knee replacement. (She's healing really well!) While he was here he went to Dodge to replace Mom's lost car key and while he was waiting he decided to buy a new truck. He got a screamin' deal! He almost couldn't afford to not buy it. He puts tons of miles on his trucks so he was about due for a new one anyway.
On the same day Dad came home with his new truck I got my new telephoto lens. I'm not a very knowledgable photographer so I got a cheap lens for my first telephoto. I figure that when I get better I will hopefully be able to better afford a nicer lens. This one is really good though (for a cheap lens.) I took both of the photos of Dad's truck from my back porch. Even though I was shaking around like crazy when fully zoomed in my camera managed to focus pretty good. I'm going to have to find my tripod (it's been lost for about a year now, I might have to get a new one) and some time to play. One of these days I really want to take some photography classes at the local college. I can read up on photography until I'm blue in the face but I won't actually learn anything unless I have "homework assignments" to force me to do it.
Here's another picture of the kids being silly and wanting me to take their picture. This time they decided to climb into the cupboard in the TV entertainment center. We've had to clear out everything in it and screw the drawers shut because the littlest little stinker likes to pull everything out and make a big mess! Kalyssa decided on this day that we would have a "pajama day." She likes to do this on days when she knows we won't be going anywhere, including outside. She's had a cough for a little over a week now. It's never gotten very bad but this day was the worst for her. Kaden now has it and actually got bad enough that I took him to the doctor yesterday. His lungs are clear so we just need to wait it out. The poor little guy can cough for a full hour without stopping and he's so tender and clingy that I haven't been able to get anything done. He hasn't been sleeping well either. He seems to be a little better today (at least with the clingy-ness) so hopefully he's on the mend. KC's had it too but so far I've managed to stay clear of it, although I'm not sure how since I've had kids coughing in my face for over a week now!
Kalyssa has a couple of "favorite" night gowns (one is in the above photo) that have matching slippers. The nightgowns still fit just fine but the slippers have been a tad too small for awhile now. They are also very worn. On this day she finally stuck her toe through one of the slippers. All on her own she decided that the slippers, and thus the nightgown, needed to be thrown away. You just can't wear the nightgown without the matching slippers, ya know! We were very proud of her for making her little grown up decision but then the world ended when the other nightgown was dirty in the laundry! Now what do we do??? If she gets too out of control then we'll be dealing with a screaming child for an hour. So, my brilliant husband came up with the idea for her to pick some "jay jay's" and have a little fashion show photo shoot. Seriously, the man is brilliant! It totally worked and bedtime went fairly smoothly! Phew!
