Day 144

Trixie sat and contemplated her options. She was beginning to realize that no matter how hard she pumped her legs, the swing wasn't going anywhere.

Day 138

"Dude, when you said your cousin was empty-headed, I thought you were kidding."

Day 129

Mrs. O'Leary didn't feel very old, although it was true that she rarely knew what to do.

Day 123

Sam always felt good when he volunteered to read to younger kids. His friends, on the other hand, thought the whole idea was nuts.

Day 116

Marissa was happy to have finally found an escape-proof stroller; it made walking home from the park much more pleasant.

Day 115

Like many older brothers, Matt had frequently wished for a remote control that he could use on younger siblings. It'd taken some tinkering, but he'd finally made a breakthrough...

Day 112

It didn't take long for Levi to establish himself as King of the Playground.

Day 98

To say that Winston's mother was overprotective might be a bit of an understatement.

Day 77

Little JJ couldn't believe it--this had to be the best birthday cake EVER. He was a little disappointed that his dad wouldn't let him use the sword to cut it, though.







If you'll refer back to my first blog post and my "Not a professional here!", the background on this one could still use some work, but it would probably take me another hour or two (that I already don't have ;] ). I used scrapbooking paper for the background and used PSE to paint a grass texture and try to bring back the shadows. Not perfect at all, but not bad for somebody who's not supposed to be using their hands. :)

Day 62

Herc had finally found what he determined to be the ultimate hiding place for Hide and Seek.

Day 58

Debbie had been waiting all night for this. With the kids asleep, she could finally take down her hair, grab a drink, and sit in the tub with bubbles up to her neck.

Day 52

Lysa hated it when the kids left the toy room looking like a train wreck. At this rate, she'd never get to bed.
