Mom has been on the couch with Michael reading The Lightening Thief for the past few nights.
(Michael loves it, but Mom thinks it’s a teensy bit scary)
We’re determined to finish before Friday so that we can have a family (Mom, Dad, and Michael) date night and go see the movie.
Jack will be ditching us for his girlfriend across the street – They’re having a sleepover.
Apparently her mother hasn’t learned her lesson with Jack living across the street… She invited him over!!
Let’s all say it together… “Sucker!!”
Just kidding.
Kind of.
The kids are off for Rodeo break today and tomorrow, which means that Mom doesn’t spend too much time on her appearance. We have been way too busy having fun to worry about silly stuff like make-up.
Because of that, I played with Picnik a little… I have been trying to figure out how people put color back into their black and white photos, so it was fun to have some time to do that.
And… do you see that that new little box to your right?
The fancy schmancy one that says Unbloggable Moments?
Go look. I’ll wait.
I’ve been very busy with that this week, and I can’t wait to tell you all about it.
Keep your eyes peeled…
Great photo editing! How funny is it that Jen@Our Daily Big Top also posted a Where’s Mom photo with her son after going to see that movie! Check it out at http://www.ourdailybigtop.blogspot.com!
Have a great weekend.

Okay, so unrelated to your blog…I was looking at it and Soren said, “Mommy, dam*$%! (always catches me off guard and then I have to realize he means “diamond”. “Where dam*%% go?” I scrolled back up and, “There it is!” It was the top of your blog diamond, of course. :) Hope you’re enjoying your days off!

Ok how DO you put color back into black and white? I’ve been trying to figure it out too!!!
And I saw that fancy schmancy box first thing and wondered about it… can’t wait to hear about it!

Really cool, Becca – always wondered how people did that – you’ll have to show me. Still offering the rest of the books if you’d like to read them.

hey bec, for photoshop tips check out http://laughingsquid.com/you-suck-at-photoshop-by-donnie-hoyle/ . Its a tutorial done in 3-4minute clips by a disgruntled boyfriend/husand/ex-husband…but it actually teaches you how to do little tricks that come in handy. Though you may have to watch them more than once to get past the joke. Really, give it a shot!
