Summer Photo Contest!

5 Minutes for Mom is having a summer photo contest. They are looking for photos that reveal the Spirit of Summer Fun!

I am using a picture of my little Prince when he was just 2 years old running at the beach. I love love love this picture! Summer fun to me is being care-free and running on the beach!

Dear JC Penny Picture Dude,

Written for NaBloPoMo's write a letter a day challenge.



















Dear JC Penny Picture Dude,

I visit JC Pennys regularly to have my children's pictures taken, and I can honestly say that I have never had a better experience than when you photographed my children!

You got it! They are kids! They are not always going to smile when you say smile - sometimes you have to trick the smiles out of them.

You barked.

You burped.

You made farting noises.

You used their stuffed animals in the picture without complaint and you listened to me when I suggested not having Princess's doll's blue shoes in the picture. Princess threw a fit but you rolled with it and got the picture I (the person paying) wanted!

In addition, as Princess was pitching a fit, you went ahead and started taking the boys' picture, making Princess feel left out so she wanted to get her picture taken!

You were able to convince my 3 year old to not only stand still but to stand still with his hand in his pocket long enough for you to take several pictures of him.

Thank you for being silly and taking the time to get such great pictures of my kids! They mean the world to me, and it is no easy feat to get them in for pictures.

You made the trip well worth it!

Sincerely, MomOf3

Pictures from Labor Day!

The rain may have kept us inside but we still had fun! Princess and Knight played in the garage while the Prince got a haircut!

The kids also had fun playing with the kitties.

Miney and Moe graduated from being sequestered in the upstairs bathroom at night to being allowed to run free. So far so good with that!








<==DadOf3 gave the Prince a haircut! It was just a trim this time.















<==Princess had fun jumping rope and the Knight had fun on the tractor!













<==The Knight didn't want to get off of the tractor after the Prince's haircut! He was having too much fun making tractor sounds and turning the steering wheel!

One Year Ago...

I was just going through some old pictures. Here is Princess's first day of Kindergarten!

The pictures of the boys show how much they have grown up in the last year too!

Wow!

Thursday Night Date Night!

We had a nice Family Date Night last night. We all went out to one of our favorite restaurants. They have good, reasonably priced food and a fun play-scape outside. There was a chance of rain but it actually held off so the kids could play for a bit!

A good time was had by all!

Pictures!

Here are the pictures that we had taken last Friday. Although it was a very trying visit to JC Pennys, the pictures turned out well!
