happy belated friday fotos!

In case there are some new readers, Friday Fotos are my way of justifying the gradual transition my blog made from being family journal-like, to being a place to put down whatever I feel like rambling about. One day a week, I actually chronicle--via photos--what we've been up to. Just makes me feel better about myself, yes it does :) .



AND...........





HERE'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO THIS WEEK!!!!



Every time I want to get rid of the hot tub--these two start using it again! I still envision this area as a deck featuring an outdoor fireplace with great dry stack stonework. But for now, I guess we'll keep the hot tub--and the smiles on these faces--around a little longer. (hey--check out the great dilapidated steps! woo hoo! They were like that when I bought the place, so it's not my fault.....except for not repairing them....:) ).

Lookie! Lookie! See that sheet of rotting vegetable I'm holding? That would be my famous LEEK PAPYRUS....and it's SUPPOSE to look like that!!! I wrote on it with some pen just to prove that it worked, took a picture, and then threw it away because----oh my stars! Did it ever smell bad!!!

I put Liam up on top of the fridge during a game of hide and seek. Then, from my hiding place behind the couch, I hear the following conversation: ETHAN (who is "it"): I see you Liam! LIAM: Aaaaaw! Mom said this would be a good place to hide! ETHAN: Come help me find everyone else. LIAM: You have to find Mom so she can get me down!!! I am all squishied up here! :)

We made a tent and had fun hanging out and listening to stories on CD.

Finally, I went to my friend's art show this weekend. He's from New York and flew in all his pieces to exhibit in a gallery here. He does cool magnetic field drawings and hand-reproduces Victorian-age medical equipment. Really amazing, unique stuff! I wanted to take pictures, but thought it might not be appreciated---the bringing of the camera into an art show that is. Plus, the lighting was terrible. So, I'll just post a small picture and direct you to his web site if you're an art connoisseur :) .
Thanks for inviting me Tina and Flint!
