Riley(8) has always been into photography (really, always... since he was a toddler and we gave him one of our old cameras) and this summer he and I took three SLR camera classes together. He's learning a lot, practicing a lot, and just entered his very first photo contest! He entered the MN Zoo Photo contest - and I think he has a good shot at winning the kid category!! He had so many excellent photos it was very hard for him to decide which to one to enter - check them out and I'm sure you'll agree he is one talented little photographer! (=

Here is the photo he entered:

Here are some others he took:

We had a Monster Making Marathon at Nenny and Nohn's house this weekend. Actually, they were monster reading pillows for Riley's classroom this fall (and a few for his old teachers too). But, before we bring them into the school the boys decided to have some fun with them. (=

(thanks Nenny for helping us make all of these!!!)

Rainy Day Fun!!

I recently ran across these photos from awhile back of the boys playing “To Infinity and Beyond!!” One rainy day they came up with this idea – and they dragged almost every blanket and pillow in the house down to the living room. They spent HOURS playing this game (and many days afterward too) and miraculously they never once hurt themselves. Maybe because we have so many quilts in our house…. (=

We just finished some Baby Shower Invites that I think turned out pretty cute. (= I painted the watercolors late one night, then scanned them in and played around in Photoshop. After printing them as photos at Target the boys and I mounted them on card stock, added ribbon bows and tied cute little enamel sea creature charms (from Oriental Trading) to them. Riley helped with the mounting and ribbon work, while the little guy helped sort the charms. Check them out. (=
