After the Storm

Carmi's Thematic Photographic this week is Cloudy. Ironically, he has a post with the same title. I had no idea until I was ready to post this. His is a bit more dramatic.

I ♥ Faces - Let's Hear it for the Boys

Looking for WW? It's at my photoblog this week.

How could I pass up the "Let's Hear it for the Boys" photo challenge at I ♥ Faces when I live with all boys? Since the Comedian was the guinea pig model last time, it was ClayGuy's turn for an impromptu shoot. My forte is still things more than people, but I hope to improve in this area.

Be sure to go check out the other awesome entries.

A Little Humor Revisited

Because it's too hot and I have nothing coherent going on in my colander brain, I dug up some silly goodness from last summer. This was originally posted 6/6/08. Enjoy!


So, what do you think these signs really mean?

Is this a substance that's going down into him? Or is it coming up and out? And if so, why is he laying in it? Or is it floating around his head? There's no point of reference - is he standing or laying down? Just what is the textured gray substance anyway?



Touch the shag carpet - you know you want to



Sever fingers here

And then there's this:

Do you really want snacks that come from the same machine as the soap? Does anyone ever get confused? Could you wash your clothes with a bag of Cheetos? I guess only if you wanted an orange wardrobe.



Washer-Extractors? What exactly are they extracting? And why is it an Express Lane? Is that for people who wash 15 items or less?



Oh, here's what was extracted - the water! So much so, that the towels are now glued to the drum. Good thing I brought my big, strong man with me. I may never have gotten those towels out of there.


There goes the "wash the kids while we're here" plan. Guess they'll have to get clean the old-fashioned way.



I wasn't sure if there'd be refreshments at the coin op since I haven't been to one in years (other than the time we had to wash a sleeping bag that someone lost his lunch dinner in at Boy Scout camp). I figured we'd take the BYORB (bring your own root beer) route.



Aw, he looks so sad. Like he's in trouble or something. Really, he's not. He's just playing games on his phone, while his photo-crazed wife goes wonky with her camera.

So, the next time you're bored, have dirty clothes, a bunch of quarters, and time to kill, take a trip to the local coin-op laundry and see what fun you can dig up!

Meeting Friends

When I began blogging nearly three years ago, I never would've thought that I'd get to meet so many new friends. But thanks to homeschool, which led to blogging, which led to Facebook, I do have that opportunity.

Today, my family got to head over to Sonic to meet Valerie (of SoCalVal), her hubby, and kids. What a fun and sweet family! They're looking into moving to Colorado, which I think would be awesome! The boys had a good time hanging out. The hubbies had a nice chat. And of course, Valerie and I had no problem chatting like we were old friends. So we'll be praying for them to know what God wants them to do, where He wants them to go, and when He wants them to do it. While we have our own preferences, we want His will most of all.










What is it about railings and kids? They all had to get into the act!

What a cutie!


Just hanging out.


The higher the better.


He was back even further than this.


Okay, this one didn't care, as long as he had his PSP. Which promptly attracted others.

There is one good shot of Valerie and me, but I'm waiting for her to share it since it's on her camera.
