Alright! Are you ready for pictures? Well here they come. Thanksgiving weekend DAY 1!!!! Today wasn't an overly spectacular day. Pretty routine. Mr. Mister was somewhat cranky today and uncooperative, which is really out of the norm for him. So not sure what's up there....other than yet another snotty nose and cough (poor stinker, he just can't get away from them!!!!) And Lil' Miss was in fine form and doing her usual. So enough chat, here's the pictures!
To start out our morning we headed for the park. NOBODY! wanted to nap this morning, so what better thing to do than go out and get some fresh air.
So Mr. Mister got his fair intake of sand. He got right down to it once I plunked him down. Does this mean he might have been hungrey?????? No. I'm going to take it as part of the 'experimenting' stage. I remember Lil' Miss doing this too. Then of course he got his dose of swinging. What little kid doesn't like that!?!?!
And Lil' Miss did her own version of swinging. Because we've graduated from just sitting on our butts on the swing. We swing on our tummys and now even stand on the seat! Plus she now goes down the slide on her tummy as well. We all know how that is going to end up one day.....splat. But for now she thinks it's fun.
So in the afternoon AFTER I forced everyone to have a nap (kids, dogs, I watched some PVR'd stuff.....woo!) we headed back outside. Mr.Mister was in even finer form, crying and complaining. I made him stay outside anyhow. And Lil' Miss helped me start cleaning up the backyard. Not all the leaves are off the trees yet, but we had to start filling our pumpkin bags so they'd be ready for Halloween. I only wanted to fill one, but got talked into filling the 2nd one...and ended up doing it on my own to boot because I'm the only one with a reasonable attention span. And Mr.Mister pretty much just crawled around and cried. But I did manage to get a couple of pictures of him without the tears.
We buried him in leaves! He didn't protest....too much.
And then Lil' Miss wanted in on some leaf action.
Here she's actually trying to pull Mr.Mister's thumb from his mouth. It wasn't budging. Shortly after we came back inside and he cheered up a bit more. After the two of them chased several golf balls around the kitchen for a bit, supper came, then bedtime routine. And that ended a fairly routine day at home. I'd have to say that I did get some fairly good pictures out of the day's events. And I hardly even tweaked them in my really sad photo program. Maybe there is something to using the manual setting on the fancy camera!
Tomorrow.....Turkey Dinner!!!!!!!!

True to form when mom's force their kids to go outside on a nice day whether they like it or not :P And little miss definitely moves to the beat of her own drum!
I think we all have photos of us at this age with sand/potting soil/dirt smeared on our faces. And look how we turned out!
Er . . . . .
What did I do Friday . . . I worked, came home, walked down to the Quay to attend the super awesome night market there (eat some food, do some window shopping, get some groceries) only to find the plaza completely deserted. Guess they finished for the year (they SAID they were going until CHRISTMAS!). So I walked back home and bought some last minute stuff at Safeway for the turkey dinner. Then I most likely fell asleep early without doing any of the 20,000 things I could have done. AS USUAL.
P.S. - I can bring you PhotoShop and teach you some quick, essential photo editing tricks if you're up to it.
I'm now staying late at work to do all my editing on the latest version of PhotoShop, which is very, very, very, very, very awesome, and miles ahead of previous versions. I'd love to get it for myself, but . . . ONE THOUSAND BUCKS!
