Pinterest Photo Challenge Day 20: Something I Drew

Yes, I know I skipped a day. Day 19's challenge was "orange". Sorry, I have nothing orange, and don't have the energy to be creative!

So, Day 20 is something I drew. This is an old coal shovel I found at a junk store. I brought it home and painted it. It says "Life is sweet". Yep, I drew it freehand, then painted it. I'm cool like that.

Pinterest Photo Challenge Day 18: Hair

Libby may be only 8 1/2, but she's got the hair of 3 grown women! This was at one of her piano recitals. We threw a couple of hot rollers in it, ran our fingers through it and we got...amazing!!

A rainy Sunday

It was a rainy day yesterday... the kitties decided to relax on Libby's bed.
Humphrey and Maggie, loving life.
BIG stretch....
"Mom. I'm exhausted. Please turn out the light and let a man get some sleep!"
I want to be a cat.

Pinterest Photo Challenge Day 17: Something I don't like

I don't like raw meat of any kind. I don't like to touch or handle it. I don't like to look at it and would prefer not to watch or smell it cooking. Luckily, The Man is the handler of meat in our home.

Pinterest Photo Challenge Day 16: flower

This is a flower in one of my front flower beds. I actually planted this when Shannon and I were just dating back in 2010. It did not do well and I had just given up on it. A couple of weeks ago, I glanced over and SURPRISE!... it was blooming!

Pinterest Photo Challenge Day 15: Sunset

This is the sunset just up the hill from our house...

Fun times at Prison Brews

Wednesday night, Shannon and the kids met my BFFs Sharla and Michelle for dinner at a restaurant in town called Prison Brews. We packed a lot of fun into one evening! Usually, the kids gripe about going out...they're home bodies...but as soon as I said we were meeting Aunt LaLa and Aunt Chelle, they were on board!
That's us... best, good friends! We've been friends since 1986!
Libby and Roan with their favorite Aunt Chelle. The next day, Roan mentioned her and I said "You know, Aunt Chelle and I have been best friends for most of our lives"... and he said "I can sure see why! My Aunt Chelle is AWESOME!"
Me and my kiddos...with a little of Michelle's finger over the lens for good measure.
Shannon and Sharla are siblings, and look EXACTLY alike. I call them "twins --9 years apart". Shannon doesn't really see the resemblance. It's even more pronounced when they wear their readng glasses!
This is the look that scares me, if it's accompanied by a frown. If he's frowning, I know I'm in trouble!
