Mish Mosh!!!

One of the fun snacks I offer the kids is a bag of Mish Mosh. I take a zip lock and throw a bunch of random stuff in it. For example, pretzels, fishy crackers and marshmallows. Sometimes I put some sort of cereal in it. Marshmallows are almost always one of the items. I took these last spring. I love Bodie's "chubby bunny" face! And Avery is being her creative self making Marshmallow kabobs.

More "Easters" fun!

Snippets from our Easter weekend:

• In our house you have to pronounce Easter - "Easters" like the monk in Nacho Libre when he says, "Do you not realize I have had diarrhea since the Easters?"
• Bodie drank some of the water we were dying the eggs with and got a big surprise when it tasted so awful...I put vinegar in it to make the colors brighter.
• I am still picking Easters grass up off my carpet.
• Ron made his Annual "poop" egg. Simply put an egg dyed brown with the word poop on it...he's 40.
• The Easters bunny came and everyone loved what he brought.
• The kids had an egg hunt Oregon style in the rain with their winter coats on.
• We know that the Holiday is not all about he eggs, candy and chocolate bunnies and we are grateful for Christ and the sacrifice He made for us. I can't leave that part out.

Enjoying their chocolate bunnies!

We have had our fill of candy and treats this weekend that is for sure. We just wanted to say Happy Easter to all of our friends. We are off in a few minutes to go eat more at Ron's parent's house!

Random...

I sat down last night at the end of a very busy spring break week to edit some photos. Something I like to do to unwind. I thought I will pick one photo of each of the kids and edit them and post them on the blog. This is what I came up with...

I am so mad at myself because I just don't have very many photos of Rowdy. So we are headed out today to get some.

I love the light in this next one. She was headed to school and the light just fell on her and the background stayed black so I wanted to turn it to a black and white.

If you look at the very bottom of the photo you can sort of see Bo's finger pointing...Well he was feeding the dog and kept scooping the food and dumping it and saying "one more". I turned the photo black and white and then I added some "grit" or noise and stole a color from his sweatshirt and put it on top of the photo at a super low level.


I love editing photos to relax and unwind. It is fun to create and to be creative. I have always loved color, art and the tools you need to be creative.
