Raison d'Etre

We have an Easter tradition of taking one nice family picture and then half a roll or more of silly ones.  I was a little bummed this year when one kid was away for Easter and another was sick as a dog.  It meant no pictures.  We made up for it this weekend.  Calypso graduation from the camp program she's participated in for the last nine months.  We had a beautiful day for it and just in time for Mother's Day I got my silly pictures.

These people are crowding my space!

What's that thing there?

But they seem so normal...looks are clearly deceiving.

That pretty much sums it up.

From the Ridiculous to the Sublime

May I just say, I miss having both time to do a Slice of Lime or other photographic endeavors and now in having a camera that even functions properly. First the camera didn't want to play nice with my computer and I eventually found some ways around that though it was a pain. For some time now my camera has just not wanted to play at all even when it has fresh batteries.

Well, this week I offer some things I found around the Interwebs that either amused or touched me.

This one I may print out and hang on both Diana's and Calypso's doors.

When will the carnage end?

Why yes, I can laugh at the ever delectable Hugh Jackman and not just drool over him.

The definition of beauty, contrary to what Madison Avenue says.


Should be required reading for all children and their grownups.

And now, for your pleasure, I submit the before and after of my first day of kindergarten. Feel free to offer your ideas for captions.
