31 days of fun

The other day Asia kept texting me from work, giving me ideas for my FUN experiment... and one of his texts said "What about photography? You think that's fun..."

And I had to pause... "Oh yeah. Photography." I thought to myself.

I texted him back "I don't think I've taken a picture all summer long..."

So this weekend I got the camera out... we were in Leavenworth with our dear friends David and Brynn, spending one last extended chunk of time with them before they move to Northern Ireland...

We took a walk together and I asked David first of all to take some pictures of our family... it's been ages since we had some good ones taken.


Then I got the camera back and took a few shots while we were talking on the deck...

My fifteen year old boy/man...

My soul mate/partner/best friend/love.

And then when we got home and I was puttering in the back yard I decided to take some shots of my cherry tomatoes (yellow ones this year!)
I like taking pictures.
It's fun.

    I saved my pennies, worked two jobs for a few months and finally treated myself to a new Nikon. I have been totally in love all summer. Taking pictures mostly of my kids and flowers, and the kids tease me about taking pictures of my flowers. And my dying garden...and... tteeheee.....I am slowly discovering part of dealing with the kids growing away from me, is teaching myself to make my own fun again. Things I used to enjoy before my life was consumed by diapers and other people's needs. :) The process is not an easy one though. What is next on your fun list!?

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...
