Circus Shots

My Little Photo Journalist

We keep our digital “point and shoot” camera on the counter. My 5 year old calls it “his camera.” He has permission to run and grab it to snap photos when something catches his fancy. Every now and then I’ll download them and enjoy a glimpse of life around the circus through the eyes of my eldest. He was so excited about this puddle that he found on the deck a few weeks ago.

Someday, maybe

I’ve been a mom of three for almost two years and I have yet to figure out how to successfully take a good pic of my three kids together. And yet, I keep trying…call me hopelessly optimistic, stubborn, or just plain slow to learn, but I keep holding out hope that one day I’ll snap that illustrious shot of my circus crew. Here we have two sideward glances with a smirk and one squinter in the sun.

Keep on Reading Girlie

Looking forward to seeing how things improve at the circus after she finishes with her quiet reading time. Visit 5M4M or 7 Clown Circus for more fun with pictures!

One of My Favorite Springtime Traditions

Each May the Blue Angels do an air show at the Naval Academy as part of the commencement week celebrations. It is practically a holiday around here. (If you don’t believe me, check the sign out sheets that afternoon at the local schools). Scott actually saves half a vacation day each year so we can enjoy them as a family. Hmm, do you think we enjoyed ourselves?

Where did my baby go?

Something happened to my baby girl. Seems she was just learning to crawl. How is that she’s running around, skinning her knees and swinging beside the big kids? Didn’t she know she wasn’t supposed to grow up so fast? She’s my baby. What is she doing conversing and counting and going on the potty? Where did my baby go? And who is this pig tailed princess that’s serenading us in the morning with her sweet cherub voice?

Clowning Around

For a good time at the circus   simply wear your underwear on your head!! My son pleaded to his Daddy the other night, “Please, Please, Please wear underwear on your head…It can be clean!” 

Role Reversal

The other night at dinner my daughter was not so excited about eating her peas. So, her little sister decided to step in and help her! Sisters make everything better… even eating your greens! Sometimes you just need a little encouragement!
