What Finn has been up to

When Finn was born my sister said only make a list each of one thing to get done.  Well, after a while I was being more productive...shopping, working out, washing my hair, cooking dinner, laundry and such all in one day.  Now I know what she's talking about.  Since Finn's been on the move...nothing gets done.  I just play with him.  I follow his path of destruction.  Jared will come and see...wow we have been up to A LOT!
Just doing some light reading.
 


Wanting to play some music.
 


Playing with this really cool top that I got from a German store downtown.  HE LOVES IT!  (I babysat a girl in Switzerland who had one and thought it was so cool.)







Looking cute in his jeans.



Climbing on mom.

It was a Wolf Moon

The other day Jared informed me that Saturday night there would be a Wolf Moon and we are lucky to be in possession of my Dad's MONSTER telescope.  I said, great lets make a date of it in our backyard.  So I made some hocho (term coined by my friend EmCox for 'hot chocolate') while Jared set up the telescope.



This was also a great opportunity to play with my camera and remote and capture the moonlit night.



Moonlit sky...shutterspeed 20secs...f-stop 4.


The moon was so bright and BIG, it filled the entire view through the telescope...plus I kept saying to Jared, "Oh I must keep bumping the telescope because the moon keeps going out of frame."  He told me it was the moon moving....how cool is that.  We could see craters and the edge of the moon curving into darkness.






Two lovers by moonlight.



I photoshopped this one to remove the shadows...Jared held very still for 40 secs...I obviously didn't.



Our driveway and streetlight.



My shadow by moonlight.

Buddies

Buddies!



Don't worry Mom, Dad's still alive...see I just saw his arm move a little.
 

Must be Winter


When you look like a ghost and your hair hasn't seen sun in a while...then it must be winter.


Eating

Things are getting a bit messy around here.

Daddy = HUMAN SWING

"Weeeeeeeee"







"Ok, maybe not so fast."
 

Helping out...maybe

"Phineas, what are you doing?"
 


"Oh...um...just sorting your mail for you."
