The Five of Us, Spring 2014
Photo Crazy
Hey. So, I downloaded whatever pictures were on the camera. They're pretty miserable. But, hey. You begged. I'm obliging. What more do you want from me, people?!
First, we have a collection of the kids helping decorate Grandma and Grandpa's tree. This is the Black Friday tradition of my family. As I said previously, we usually avoid shopping like the plague, but broke our rules this year. So, Daddy, Uncle Matt, and Grandpa stayed home with the kids while we girls shopped. Please note, Aaron dressed and readied the children. When I got home I fixed Pea's hair appropriately and turned her shirt around the right way. Just sayin...
This next set of pictures is out my front door mid-day today. It is snowing. It has been snowing all day and looks like it wants to continue for quite some time. If you look really, really hard you can see the flakes against the red of the barn or the blue of the Big Blueberry (our van). Punk can't wait to get out in it. But, nobody else wants to go with him. Go figure. I'll definitely be making meatloaf and mashers tonight. And maybe even that pecan pie. Yes, all from scratch (except the pie crust--you people have such high expectations of me!).
These photos are for the AOH website. But I thought you'd want to see it here first.
And, because I like to make it a habit to show off when I sweep the floor, here is the evidence of the last sweepage, accomplished upon our return to our humble abode after Thanksgiving. Nasty. For the record, I have never once mopped the floors in all the time I've lived here. How d'ya like them apples?!
Now, in a shameless attempt to boost my comments numbers (as if a photo post needs extra comment-boosting incentives), I'm going to ask you a simple question. Do you prefer the "slideshow" version of presenting photos (I'm sure you've seen this on other blogs) or do you like them this way with my little comments smattered in there? Click on "comments" below and tell me all about it, K? Good.

I like the comments better...The snow is pretty...but I agree, I would not want to play in it for very long. It has got to be so cold!
I like the way you did it better. I like to be able to scroll down and see them as I read your comments. It's like you showing us your photo album and commenting as you go. Your "official" picture sure is pretty. : )
I'm not a big fan of slideshows--your way is great!! Keep 'em coming in all your free time. :)
Love,

Keep as is...especially good for slow internet people :)
I LOVE your sweepin's...I KNOW I can beat you. Sometime I'll post and prove it :) We just gone done decorating gingerbread people. I bet I have a pound of sprinkles on the floor!

Comments way is definitely better! I like your commentary b/c it makes me laugh too. I especially like the backwards shirt! too funny! Also, sometimes the slideshows are too fast and sometimes too slow. . .this way I can take my sweet time! Especially, when i have children tugging on me and may miss one along the way!

rachel...much prefer the comments to slide show. No patience for a slide show of who knows what. And for the record...my husband ALWAYS put kids clothes on backwards. He said that way when you hold them, everyone else can see the cute designs on the clothes. Is he good at rationalizing or what?!?
