before people

I was laying down with the boys tonight to help them settle down for bed. It was dark and the boys were all finally being quiet. I thought Spencer was asleep but he announced, as if he had just had a revelation, "before there were people, there weren't any car stores or people or anything". I wish I could have seen the whole trail of thoughts in his head that led him to say that.

Macro at Home

I had a lot of fun taking some macro photos at the Butterfly Pavillion a couple of weeks ago, so today I bought myself some flowers and set up camp in the living room.

:-O

Imagine my horror when I drove around a curve here in town to find the boys' school surrounded by many many firetrucks and ambulances. The 14 seconds or so until I got close enough to see that they were at the apartment complex next door were nauseating. Sometimes being a parent isn't very fun(revelation, I know).

So today this parent gets away with just a scare, unfortunately, gauging by the number of emergency vehicles there, the parents and loved ones of some people who lived in that apartment complex aren't getting off so easy.

What A Good Boy :D

Spencer put on his best fake smile and helped me try out some new gear today.

Spencer's Ninja Kitty

Spencer chose to spend some of his Christmas money at Build-A-Bear and picked out a kitty that he named Hot Wheels and dressed up in karate clothes.

The Other Tooth Fell Out

At school again, little showoff. :D

Fun for Mommy

Once a month the Butterfly Pavilion has an early morning session for folks to come in and set up tripods and work on macro photography. I got to attend this morning and had so much fun!
