Weekly Winners 2/8

February 8, 2009 by Elaine

February 1 – February 7 I’m cheating a little. Since I didn’t do a Weekly Winners post last week some of these are from the previous week as well. We had a little freeze a week ago Wednesday, after a small sleet storm, so a few of these were taken the following morning. The sun…

Random Picture Challenge (1)

February 7, 2009 by Elaine

I decided to participate in Brittany’s Random Picture Challenge today. It’s my frist time to join her carnival but I think it’s such a fun idea. This picture came from my March 2008 folder, 5th from the end. This was just 3 days before The B Man turned 4 and this is one of his…

He Really “Nose” How to Pick ‘Em!

February 6, 2009 by Elaine

I spend quite a bit of time telling this child to take his finger out of his nose (he always uses the same one…). Sometimes I just ignore it. I see it while he’s getting a diaper change or in the middle of his play time. I frequently see it in the rear view mirror…

What DO I Do All Day?

February 5, 2009 by Elaine

Sometimes at night I will stop a while and take stock of what I do all day. Yes, there is some time spent on the computer. Obviously. But I do a lot of other things too. Here are just a few examples of things that might currently fit under my “job description.” Miniature Railroad Builder/Engineer…

WW – Looking in the Background

February 4, 2009 by Elaine

I presume my father took these pictures of me. A series of three snapped when i was probably about 9 or 10 months old. My Dad has always enjoyed photography and after going through several boxes of photos at my parents’ house over the summer, I found many shots like these. However, I never found…

Not Me Monday, 3rd Edition

Here it is Monday again. How’d we get here again so fast? Oh well, time marches on and one thing that makes the sting of Monday a little less painful is Mckmama’s “Not Me!” Monday! Here’s all the stuff I did NOT do last week. I DID NOT freak out just a little when the…

Good for the Kids Winner!

January 31, 2009 by Elaine

Sorry this is SO late today. My parents are here visiting and I’ve actually been hanging out with them. What a concept. Plus, my laptop has been acting up and turns out Dell has to send out a new hardrive so I’m on the hubs’ computer. (which is really nice by the way…) Anyway, I…

Past Post Parade!

January 30, 2009 by Elaine

Perhaps you’ve seen me mention on here lately that I come across new blogs on a daily basis. When I find a new blog that I connect with I usually read ONLY the most current post or a couple of more before that one, comment and move on. But sometimes as I am reading I…
