Going to bombard you with images...

...because I need to get caught. I don't just want to get caught up... I need to... because I'm leaving for vacation in five days, and I don't need images hanging over my head. So sure, my next few blogs will be long with images that don't always go with one another - but it means that next week when I'm in NYC during Thanksgiving Week (Oh yeah, Macys Day Parade folks!!) I can blog while I'm there, and not have to come home to show other images out of order. So without further adeu, I give you eleven days in a row.

Poor fat Jo


305 of 365: Stallions
Found this neat statue while taking Ellens senior pictures. Its the mascot to the school who's track we used for some of her images. Not her mascot - actually a rival school. I should feel bad for using this as my day - but I think the statue is cool.


306 of 365: Witch!
I love after Halloween sales, because you get cheap stuff to use as dress-up. This year the girls got witch hats. I was kinda dozing on the couch, and Olivia walked up to me with a dress-up dress she hadn't worn before... I put it on her, she scampered off, and Claire appeared in my face with a dress of her own. The actual outfits are old dance costumes of one of Tims cousins. Curious, I went to see what the girls were doing, and found them brewing some witches brew with their hats on. Too cute!


307 of 365: Fall
I'm going to be sad when Fall is officially over. It's my favorite season


308 of 365: never ending M&Ms
Tims dad works for Mars, which means we can have all the M&Ms we want. And we sure got a ton for Halloween. And they were good!


309 of 365: burnt
I think I burnt the chicken because I was too busy taking photos of the smoke coming up from it. The smoke was pretty cool!


310 of 365: sick
I wonder how many images there are of my couch? I slept for 20 hours straight this day. I woke up feeling fine, so whatever it was that made me feel terrible just needed sleep to go away.


311 of 365: outtake
Wendy got me this great lip gloss, so I was going to photograph just my lips to show it off... I think Olivia had just run outside and was asking me what I was doing or something, and I looked off at her... so even though this isn't the great photo I was looking for, I like it better then the rest.


312 of 365: What was that??
If you have cats - don't you hate it when they startle, and then stare into the distance. Creeps me out!


313 of 365: My Family
It was really nice out, and I wanted to try to get some family portraits of my own family. Most turned out ehh. I love this one. Since I've started doing this with other families, I've been wanting one like this for my family... I'm glad I was able to do it.

Jo

So the other day, my friend Andi pointed out to me that she had never seen the face of my cat Jo. I have the three cats, and the two boys probably are photographed the most by me. But Jo... well shes... ermm.... a doll *smiles sweetly* She's actually really great around family, and is probably the cat most tortured by our kids. But she is terribly mean to guests. And I mean mean! Like I remember coming home from work once when I lived in an apartment, to a note on my door that read "Could not get in... CAT!!!! -Maintenance" She's one mean cat.

But I have a soft spot for Jo. She's our first pet. We joke in case of divorce, Jo goes to me, Vash to Tim, and we'll have to rock paper sissors over who's stuck with Victor (poor Victor - he's outcasted by Jo and Vash)



She's also really heavy. I think last time we had her weighed at the vet, she was like 19 something pounds. We actually noted in Olivia's baby book when she weighed more then Jo. To think, Jo and Claire are probably competing in weight right now!



I just found this one amusing!
