i was resting (zoning in and out of sleep) on the couch.
photo booth uses the web cam to take your picture. here are a few of her self-portraits.
there were 62 pictures in all.
this is what bread (zweibach) looks like craig…it’s time to get those smoke detectors up! i am so glad those are zweibach. OMG! i thought for sure that was HAMMY in the microwave, my stomach quickly returned when I scrolled down to see it was only bread. whew! Oh-oh. I had a naughty baby this weekend too. He pulled a lamp down of a table in his room, took off the lamp shade and the bare bulb burned a hole right through the carpet, pad and all. Luckily he wasn’t hurt, that’s the good news. Bad news: carpet has to be replaced before we sell. It’s really, really ugly. oh gosh… the little lessons of life! nice. at least it wasn’t silverware in there to cause a fire!! our microwave has burn marks in it because of that. First of all..I love your microwave…very nice! I think all kids have done that, kinda surprised it hasnt happened already. For us it seemed to take FOREVER to get the smell out. I was wondering how those low microwave location workout with little kids, they need a lock. Imagine if it would have cooked the other 91:03 minutes! Oh my… lol I think it’s time you start calling these part 1, part 2 and so on :)! This picture gives new meaning to the word “zwiebach”. There may be others that know the tradition better than I do, but I believe that zwiebach were eaten fresh the day they were baked but toasted the second day, thus “twice baked” which is what zwiebach means. Since these were made on Saturday, Annie must have known that they needed to be “toasted” to be good on Monday. i was wrong….
i put it on…poofed my hair and smiled for the camera. i don’t think i will wear this to church next week… you look wonderful it that dress. how sweet that your grandma gave it to you. you and your husband need another date night – wear it proud girl – you look fabulous. I cannot tell you how much I love love love that dress on you! WAY too cute! Your hair, the bag, the shoes, you! TOO CUTE! Very chic 🙂 thank you girls for all the happy comments. lovin your ‘do & dress ! Meg. You look wonderful in the green dress. So glad you like it. Meg, How fun, the pictures are cute. I’m sure your grandkids will enjoy these later. The dress will live on! LOL that would be chic, not sheek! ooops… LOVE IT!!! So retro and sheek and it matches the shoes perfectly, I am jealous…. love the hair!!!!!!!!! you crack me up 🙂 i think you should dress the whole family like that for a family portrait. I think this calls for a girlfriends party…you wear this dress, and they wear dresses equally cool. It would be the funnest ev-er…just wish I lived close enough! That is too great! To bad real life doesn’t have “Spirit Days” where you can dress up for a theme. That would be great for 60’s day or a Grease theme! What fun! you look totally adorable!! that dress is amazing…I remember one time putting on on of my Moms dresses..she had a 20 inch waist..I fit in it when I was 15 but had to stuff the bra…. love it. Oh my goodness! I love the whole look. You’ve got to find someplace to wear that…out in public. i think you can pull it off….especially with the hair! Ouch that hurts! It is not 50’s – it’s 70’s. I think you look just like Mary Tyler Moore! SO cute! I agree you have to go out in it at least once. I’d throw jeans on under it, do your hair like you normally would–and just be retro-chic like crazy :)! Oh! So 50’s LOVE!!!!!! That dress is FUN! I love it! that is the best! very special! that dress is vintage class couture at it’s best! aaahh you look so cute! so retro! i love it! too cute! you look so amy winehouse. Oh that dress! I was going to comment yesterday asking if you’d have to change the dress or your body to make it fit. I’m so glad you didn’t have to do either. It is SO cute! Dont you just LOVE IT when you think something wont fit and walla ….IT FITS??? Ok, I promise to stop stalking your comments but…that is SO CUTE!!!!! OMG you are totally a blast from the past in that gem!! 🙂 yesterday was a sunny happy day. very little fighting between children in the morning. had a good workout…got to watch Steel Magnolias on the treadmill. got some groceries without children. my grandma came over with goodies and took us to lunch. it was nice outside. craig came home early from being gone for 2 days in california. movie night all together on the couch…cuddled up…watching Matilda. ok..enough words.
it’s a bit crazy looking…
i don’t think i will leave it as a wall hanging one of the things my grandma brought me…
this is the dress she wore to my parents wedding.
ok…now i have to go help my kids clean. My kids love Matilda. They hide behind their hands, or come and peek from where ever I might be. What finds! I know you’ll do something amazing with the picture turned pillow! Lovely!!! That needle work will make a lovely pillow. So cute! What beautiful colors looking forward to the pillow, and that dress, how wonderful and fun. Number one fav. thing…kids getting along LOVE that dress!
i was on my way to pick up the kids from school.
tonight annie didn’t want dinner.
lauren made bacon for her meal…
i love sonic. Hope you got your cupcake…My friend who led me to Sprinkles..I saw her Nephew yesterday..the nepehew who stands to inherit a gazillion dollars..I asked him…do you bring me a sprinkle? To which he replied…”I wouldn’t pay that much for a cupcake!” Not..I won’t stand in those lines. but complaining about the price…oy he is just like his father. No wonder he is a millionaire…do you have any cupcakery near you? In response to your comment on my blog (thanks for stopping by!)lol You aren’t kidding, the ice is perfect! I remember they used to sell bags of it, do they still do that? I just posted something about Sonic this morning, so it was neat to see how much you all enjoy it! lol Love the tiara by the way, I think we should all have one… So cute, that crown. On numerous occasions, I’ve worn my sunglasses on my head while crazily searching the house for them! I can’t wait to play with tiaras! You have the sweetest family…I love following along on your journeys! no tiara’s in our house but we sure make those dinners whenever possible! This whole post makes me smile. I really need to take my camera along more often. Though I haven’t left the house in what feels like a month!!! I often get my kids sundaes on Fridays when I collect them from school. Never heard of Sonics though. There is a McDonalds just around the corner from the school so that is where we go. Annie is so cute! I love the last picture of her, getting that BIG bite =) All the days in your house look SOO fun! 🙂 you’re funny about bacon… although I must admit I was in the same position about a year ago. I HATE getting the flying grease on me… it hurts and I can’t stand it in the microwave so someone told me you could put it in the oven for 15 min. EASY!! 🙂 BTW, I can’t remember if Peter was quoting the office… but I’m gonna go with a YES because he is OBSESSED! Whenever our small group sends emails back and forth there is always an office quote somewhere in the mix. I watch it but don’t have every line memorized like the rest… I’m still catching up on you guys and your SNL lines. 🙂 Have a GREAT WEEKEND! annie… she is as cute as they get! i wear a tiara a lot when i am working…the ups and fedex guys laugh everytime i amswer the door in my pj’s and tiara! we had one of those dinners last night too. danelle When you said Lauren had bacon and then I scrolled down to the kids eating ice cream, and I thought you were gonna say everyone else had ice cream! Another enchanting day at your house! check out my cutie pie niece!
morgan…i get you. keep working on your tumbling…you’ll never regret it. love you mor-gee! oooh, I was a cheerleader……Queen! Not just head, but queen. LOL I loved cheering. She looks like she’s having fun. I cheered for 2 years and then did Drill Team all through high school. I can still do the splits both ways. I’m so cool. Just don’t tell that to my children who die when I do the running man and the Roger Rabit and all the other Bust-a-Move moves that were once cool :)! My niece is a 10 year old cheerleader. I love looking at photo’s of their meets because all the expressions are priceless/hysterical!!! Morgan is beautiful – looks like so much fun for her. she is way too cute! i love her face in the third shot… priceless! Your neice is darling! LOLOLOL am busting a gut at the comment the Lauren made, and the beautiful fact that you don’t let it get to you! I think I do that to my 17 year old son on purpose occasionally, just to see his reaction! 😛 She does LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! She has nationals this weekend in Houston. Thanks for the cute post. I can’t wait to show it to her 🙂 Tell the kids HI from Aunt Shannon WOW…you can tell by her facial expressions she loves to cheer!!! She is a cutie. I have one who could care a less about cheer and one who would do it in a new york minute… We don’t do the cheering here in Canada like the states , but I wish I had been brave enough to join cheerleading in high school, I think it would have been fun.It is quite a sport.

i had the best weekend. i took them to all the best places.
we cooked together.
they cleaned for me.
they played with my kids.
but we mostly stayed in and talked and laughed. then when it was time to go home we moved away just after annie was born but our other children grew up
oh the memories. So happy for you! Good friends just make a happy life all the better. Glad you had such a memorable weekend! so glad you had a wonderful weekend with your girlfriends. they are so important!!! how neat to have such wonderful friends… that is the best! I dont have a whole slew of friends just about 3 that I simple could not breathe without and qualify in my book as SISTERS! I think that is what you are talking about with your friends and the cherry on top is when you actually really, really love your own birth sister to pieces….I adore mine too. Sounds wonderful. Good friends. How fun! Girlfriends are such a blessing! How fun, you have lovely friends. Wal-Mart and drinks? That’s my idea of a very good time! |

Erica - That is way cute! Perfect for scrapbooking!
jeanetta - that is great. my youngest would be doing the same thing if we had it. good reason not to. lol.
isnt it amazing that a 3 year old can operate the computer better than my mom.
melissa @ the inspired room - HA! You know that doesn’t end when they are teenagers. I have photos all over our computer that look exactly like that but with 16 year old faces. Can you imagine the fun we would’ve had as kids if we had all these toys? We’d have much better pictures of ourselves too, instead of those blurry ones 25 feet away.
Just catching up here. Ooooo, naughty baby indeed! I love Naughty Baby posts. Funny, just like I said above, these things don’t end when they are teenagers! My 19 year old thought our toaster oven was a microwave and put a paper towel in it to cook her Chicken Tostitos. Smoke, fire, and a near death experience followed as we threw the flaming toaster oven out the back door! Phew. Crisis averted.
Kids!
PS, you look smashing in your green dress!
xo
Gini - That just cracks me up!
Karen Russell - Hey there,
Just saw you question on my blog and am hoping I can help you figure out the focusing issue.
My guess is that you accidentally switched the auto focus point.
On the top, right back of your camera, there should be a little button with a what looks like a dotted “t” inside a rectangle. If you press that button, and then scroll the top dial (by the shutter button), it should show you that it is changing the auto focus point. Camera’s usually comes from the camera shop with all of the boxes highlighted (which means that the camera kind of chooses what it wants to focus on) and I am assuming that that is the setting you are used to.
I have the center box highlighted 90% of the time – but that is kind of a complicated thing to explain.
Anyhow, I hope that helps and if you have a tough time trying to figure out what I am referring to, look up “Auto Focus Points” in your camera manual.
And by the way…you looked fabulous in that green dress!

carissa - i can’t stand it… she is the cutest little toot ever! precious!
Lauren - Thank you Annie for making me laugh today! I love the second photo in this post most – maybe because you can’t quite tell if she REALLY feels grumpy, or because she’s working so hard at LOOKING grumpy when she’s not.
Thanks for sharing Meg!
🙂

Jennifer P. - I have never heard of Photo Booth before, but I would totally buy it if I got pictures this great!

Mom - I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time!She’s so funny. Where does she get this?
Crystal - SO precious!! I LOVE it!! 🙂 Hope your day is sunnier than ours has been!! 🙂
Present Past Collection - This has got to be one of my favorite posts so far this year! Absolutley hysterical. And I love the one where she’s not looking too thrilled with her photo results. Just like a woman. And notice how she has to show us her toys? Just like a blogger. But then there’s always the kiss to greet us Hello!
Priceless and totally adorable!
Lee Ann - I love it! Those expressions are priceless. What fun to be a kid.
