The First Day of School

§ September 2nd, 2010 § Filed under Reflections & Confessions § Tagged , , § 1 Comment

Ah, that first day of school.  Isn’t it lovely?

About a week back I shared on Me Ra Koh Photography my technique in capturing the first day of school photos.  What was great this year was that the pics turned out so well last year with my “fingers idea” that we all just jumped right into it!

Check it out!

My 9th grader (notice the 9 fingers — which is kinda hard to do, getting rid of that one rascally finger!!!):

 

 

Now for my 7th grader (7 fingers) on her first day of junior high.  She was nervous…

And then there is my 5th grader.  Who, well, just said “Photo the hand!”  Luckily a hand has 5 fingers.

Happy Back-To-School everyone!

MamaBloo Welcomes Herself Back

Whew!  The summer is over.

Don’t get me wrong.  I actually like nice weather — I like it a lot.  The problem is around the Seattle area, we don’t actually have nice weather in the summer.  Or ever, really (this is my plug for people to NOT move here… not that we don’t like people, but………).

But for me, there is something about Fall that calls to me.  January 1st is never really my “new year” as much as September 1st.   I love the back-to-school supplies, the new shoes, the crisp, golden air… these are my new beginnings. 

Today was spent ushering three kids off to their first day of school, tending to a sick 1 year old, researching cabins that sleep 14 for a girls weekend away, deciding if I could tolerate even one episode of Sponge Bob, and eating a frozen Gryo.  Life still goes on, but I am ready to write.

So, I am back.

Welcome back, self!

MamaBloo Photo Tale: Back to School Photos

Okay, admitedly I have been very remiss this summer (more on the word “remiss” later) in my posting on the blog.  I have lots of excuses… but I am not going to go into them here.  BUT…. BUT… today there is a photo tale at Me Ra Koh photography  written by ME about how I take back-to-school pictures.  Or at least how I took them last year.  Check it out!  And I promise a whole bunch of posts starting September 1st.

A Tail

§ August 2nd, 2010 § Filed under Stories § Tagged , , , § 1 Comment

Saturday at lunch Ty informed the family that he has an invisible tail.

Ya wanna see? 

Well, I will try to see it.  It is invisible after all. 

He wags his bum at me and says, see it?

Uh, well….

It has very small feathers on it that you need a microscope to see.

It does?

Mommy? When something is invisible can you still touch it and feel it?

I think so.  But I don’t really know for sure.

Well, then my tail is also intangible.

Of course it is.
