happy turkey day!

to celebrate we made turkey and banana pancakes. 

case closed

remember the lost car keys post from last april?  well, while cleaning out kinzie's closet.  guess what i stumbled upon... stuck inside a pair of boots, that were in a box, that was in the back of the closet, under another box.

zoo lights

this was taken while watching the monkeys, before the lights came on.

among other things

we call her...baby girl

and kinz kinz
and punk-a-poo
and sissy
and squawky chicken
and occasionally "the stinky one"

isn't it funny the things we call our children?

old pic from summer time. it brightens my day. dust got into my lens and i might as well throw the thing away. with christmas approaching, i doubt i'll indulge in a new lens. so i haven't been been taking any pictures as of late. which is why you haven't seen many postings  :(

through the view finder

here's a bit of creative fun to make up for my lack of postings lately.

happy birthday dad!

no swine flu in this house

we just got our h1n1 vaccination. never really worried about the flu before, but with all the hipe around this virus i thought we should get the vaccination. this vaccine is so new, i still can't help but think somewhere down the road they're going to find something wrong with it... too late to worry about that now though. the girls will have to go back for a booster shot in a month. (just found out about that today.) hopefully we can get into another clinic in a month.

sid got the nose mist.

then and now

sid wore the costume my mom made for me ages ago. can you guess who's who?

no tricks, just treats
