Did you miss me?
I certainly missed all of you. I'm back from my whirl-wind vacation to Disney World and not only did I survive, it seems that all family members survived with very little if any emotional scarring. It was a fantastic week, especially for the little ones, but it was also extremely stressful, nearly all of our time taken up at a Disney park or at the pool.
It is laughable that I even mentioned some possible fo's in the last post. I originally had thought that I might have something to show with the long car rides and evenings in a hotel room. Not the case, every second of everyday was occupied with non-crafting activities. So you will have to wait a little longer.
As many of you know, I recently received a snazzy new camera as a gift from my folks, and although the camera is fantastic, the pictures are only as good as the photographer. Photographing still life is one thing, moving objects - such as rambunctious toddlers is truly another. I did the best I could and although I will not receive any awards for my photography - I wanted to share a couple of smiles I got here and there.
Although all of the photos are self explanatory, I want to add a note about the photo of the children in the stroller. Amelia and Makenna got to dress up as princesses and I was laughing that the stroller was their "chariot." Amelia was taking her job as a princess very seriously and was holding up her wand to lead the way. I told her in an offhanded way that she should say "CHARGE" as her daddy pushed her around, since she looked as if she was going into battle. After a quick glance my way, she raised her wand and shouted at the top of her lungs "I'M IN CHARGE." It was a hilarious moment and got quite a few chuckles from passer byers. She continued her antics to my delight and continued to assert her leadership position through out the night. Little does she know how truly "in charge" she is.
