So I have vacation pictures ready to be posted, but these were too good not to post first. And if I don't post them now, I never will. So, these are actually from, May 2017.
On the last day of school, I typically take the kids to get lunch, then ice cream and since it's a half day, we get to just spend the afternoon together.
Last year, as you know, was Maebelle's last year of elementary school. Therefore a group of 5th graders met for lunch and hang out time at the park.
Orion decided he wanted to fish.
Fishing it was, (not surprisingly). We were just a little over a out week from vacation and he was super excited about fishing in Wisconsin. He wanted to get all the practice he could.
Success!
One great thing about Orion is when he fishes, he takes care of everything. Start to finish. I don't have to do anything. I don't have to touch a worm or a fish, or think about the hole in it's face.
Getting good pictures of the Cedar Puppy has been difficult. He's so black and so white, that it's typically either too dark or too light, I feel like.
Actually, I have not tired all that hard - like, not with my camera and outside light. Usually, I'm trying to take a selfie with him on my old iPhone 4 because he's doing something cute. : )
But this day, with my actual camera and nice round cloudy daylight, the light hit his fur just right for me to get some detail! Yay!
I like that the hole in the bark of the next one actually looks like cut wood inside. You don't really see wood grain looking like that on the tree. Well, maybe you do, but I don't.
Maebelle has been picking up the guitar a little here and there recently.
Well, less lately since she's playing the stand up bass for school. But she still remembers the guitar chords, which is wonderful.
And here's Orion sanding on a bow he made. I think he's planning to use this bow for his Halloween costume. Well, either that or let Maebelle use this one and he'll use a different one.
And that's my real motivation for getting caught up. You know this is October, right? One of my favorite times to take pictures each year is pumpkin patch and carving and such. Sooooo, I need to get caught up quickly so I can be ready for pumpkin pictures!
peace
