Dino-FOUR!

May 16, 2011 by Elaine

It was really hot and humid here on Friday.  But then, on Saturday morning as Tim and I chatted up the folks setting up the party bounce house, I realized how nice it was out.  The Outdoor Party Gods (meaning the big man Himself) smiled down on us and granted us THE. PERFECT. weather for…

I Think We’ll Call Him Shaggy

May 5, 2011 by Elaine

I was out on the screened-in porch earlier tonight with the kids enjoying the lovely weather we are having lately and letting the kids play a bit before bedtime. Tim was laid up today with some sort of stomach thing all day and barely made it out of our bedroom.  So, outside time was GOOD….

Birthday Smiles & Sparklers!

April 4, 2011 by Elaine

I posted this at the beginning of the week but realized that it works great for You Capture this week since we had LOTS of FUN!  It was a weekend full of smiles.  Someone I know, who may have been born seven years ago, had a great birthday and enjoyed his day to the fullest. …

Down With The Treat Bag!

March 10, 2011 by Elaine

I’m not a fan of the treat bag. Perhaps you could tell by the title of this post. I rarely send them to school with my kids for their holiday parties because I loathe all the candy and junk. And no, they are not the same thing. Candy refers to well, the candy and “junk”…

“BEES!”

February 28, 2011 by Elaine

Mardi Gras season has begun in Louisiana which means that my living room floor will be littered with Mardi Gras beads for the next few months.  That is until they break and/or I throw them away.  Whichever comes first. We joined some friends at the Krewe de Chienes parade on Saturday afternoon.  Chien means “dog”…

Movies for Sale…

February 25, 2011 by Elaine

The prompt? We want you to imagine you’ve just had a fight with a friend, a co-worker, husband, significant other, child – you get the picture. You’re mad. It’s time for revenge. What would you sell? Write a humorous listing for eBay or Craig’s List. Talk about the history of the items, why they must…

Church or the Hospital?

February 22, 2011 by Elaine

We have about a 7 or 8 minute drive to church every Sunday and it’s usually filled with noise from the back of the car from the three small people in our life.  Meanwhile, the typical conversation between Tim and I may be about what to have for lunch that day or if we remembered…

PSA – DON’T Buy These Jammies – WW

February 16, 2011 by Elaine

So. I do adore this one store. You know the one that starts with “T”, ends with “ET” and has a “ARG” in the middle? Yeah, that one. BUT. It hath failed me. Tim recently picked out some jammies for the boys there and faster than I could say “Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious” there was a hole in…

It’s technically still the holidays and these are some of my favorite shots that I took yesterday during our jaunt through the Baton Rouge zoo. It was a perfectly lovely day to visit bug the animals! Little G was a tad obssessesd with his copy of the zoo map that I had to replace 3…
