the second and last (?) edition of 5 and 6 year old photos. these were taken by my nephew E and niece T on thanksgiving.first, let's start with one of grandma's plants. african violets. :)
and then, grandpa's piano. a pretty decent picture.
here we go, can't go wrong with a picture of your aunt's socks.the main reason this picture is hilarious to me is because i didn't realize they had taken it.
i've looked at this for quite a while, and cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. they had to stay in the room w/me while they were taking pictures (b/c it was my camera), but i can't think of anything in there that looks at all like this. edge? muum?
and now for this picture. there were actually a whole slew of them, because while E was taking pictures, T (on the left-hand side of the frame here) dropped leaves from above the camera. she'd say 1-2-3 --- go! take the picture! somehow, they never got it right. once, E actually jumped up while taking the picture, trying to get! it! right!so funny.
and lastly, a picture of my honey, a little hairier than we usually see him.
that wraps it up :)Labels: fun, kids, thanksgiving

in other news...
spencer says that picture of me looks weird. so, in case you thought it was.... a LIKEness of me, don't be deceived. apparently it does not.and now, onto the main event! pictures! taken by my niece and nephew E and T!!
an unfortunate number look like this:
or this:
and seriously, i can't hate. i've taken (quite) a few in my day that look like that, and i'm old enough to do better. supposedly.and now, a self-portrait.
i know it looks like he's in pain, but there are only two explanations i can think of for that:1 - the flash is going off in his face. or
2 - he is actually squishing his face against the lens.
the world may never know.
of course there are a lot of pictures like this, with one or two heads cut off --
and before anyone asks about the red thing on my neck, let me just say that it is not a hickey - i actually have weirdly sensitive skin on my neck and chest, and for some reason after you touch it, it turns bright pink. but cute shirt, right?and here we have a picture OF a picture. the mind boggles.
and here it looks like he's gotten the hang of the picture taking; the whole head in the photo. bravo!
.....oops.spoke too soon.
and just for good measure, shouldn't we have one more self-portrait? i think so.
and for this picture, i have no words.
takin' a picture of mom's boots.and we'll end with this one.
besides the red cast, it's really a pretty good picture, don't you think? i actually have no idea how she got it to look like this.
well friends, more soon.Labels: funny, kids, photography, thanksgiving

Thanksgiving
it was a great Thanksgiving.and also, my hair is brown now.
i like it pretty well. mainly, i needed a change. and this is certainly a change.so Thanksgiving; there was talking, laughter, and Guitar Hero.
my littlest sister K had an early lead in the competition, but was later beaten by a few of the brothers-in-law.
then it was time for the littlest of guitar heroes to have their turn.
here's T with an axe,
and my nephew E demonstrating the little-used sitting position for guitar playing.
once the guitar playing had lost its allure, there was still time to kill before we could eat! grandma invented a new game; put a leaf on every pumpkin of aunt G's pajama pants *without* waking her.
masterful job indeed.stay tuned, next time we will feature photos taken by E and T -- you don't want to miss it.
