goofballs :)

A few weekends ago I got to stay with my kids for the whole weekend - from Thursday when I picked them up from school until Sunday evening.  "Four whole days!!" as Mr. Happy squealed after bear hugging me again when I picked him up.  :)  We didn't do a whole lot of activities...just enjoyed being together again.  I might have woken up sometime in the middle of each night with a certain four year old curled up next to my back...  :}  I hadn't done an actual photo shoot of them in quite a while (I don't even remember the last one!) so that is the one thing we did do - after eating lunch at the Tomato Head, one of our very favorite restaurants.  :)

Doing photos of these three is always amusing.  It seems like every time I end up with more individual photos of one out of the three because the other two are just in a goofy mood, which is totally fine, just funny. 

This time Little Miss Sunshine was on a roll!

I love her 7 year old self!  She is so quirky and funny and kept us laughing the entire time!

I think he will always have my heart!  :}

They have the same eyes!

He needed me to take a picture of him being cool.  Cuz he is.

Michael and Wendy, this next one is for you....

...thought you would both appreciate that! lol  I was talking to one of the other two and glanced up at LMS and this is how I found her. Ha!  :)

Hey Wendy, I miss my kiddos!!  Isn't about time you and Dinny went out on a date??   ;)

happy thanksgiving :)

Did you have a good Thanksgiving?  What did you do?  What are your favorite Thanksgiving traditions?  All you lurkers out there...come out of the shadows and leave me a comment!  :)  I would especially enjoy "meeting" those of you who check in from different countries!

Our Thanksgiving was small and a little, uh, boring.  :)  But still good.  I went to see a movie with my brother last night. We saw Hugo...it was...kinda long, a little bit boring, and a little bit weird...but fun to get out and do something.

For the last week and a half I got to fill in for Catrina and play mommy for four kids.  And I know I had more fun than she did.  :-p  Her husband's father in law is in the hospital...and the day they got there, his grandfather was admitted to the same hospital as well!  It was an intense week and a half for them but I was happy to be here so they could go with no little kids and just focus on being there.

I have two photo shoots...well, actually three but I'm saving one for later...to catch up on.  In the meantime, here are two sneak peaks for you.  :)

Oh yes, this is my LMG to a T!  Making history.  Lol  :)

This was a fun session!  And this is just a funny picture from it.  There are cute ones too, I promise.  ;)  I threatened to tell some stories on these kiddos' mom and this is the look I got!  Ha!  :}

Ok, I'm off to do a little shopping...more pics later!

Having a little sister comes in very handy on a day when all you feel like doing is wandering around one of the best photo spots in town and taking pictures.  She is always willing to be my model and let me try out whatever ideas I have...and it's easy to get great shots with such a beautiful model! ;)
