Weird

Two Moms made a photo challenge theme this week is WEIRD.  I have the perfect picture for this!



Last weekend in Birmingham we went to a super awesome game place that had an arcade in it.  In the arcade was one of those DDR -- dance dance revolution game things.  Apparently there was some competition going on or something, but there was this huge gaggle of teenagers all around it.  And they were a bit ... unique ... strange ... weird.  One (white) guy had a huge red afro, and another guy had a tail coming out of his pants.  In this picture there is one guy playing the game and the guy with the tail is doing the moves on the floor next to him.


I also earned the title of becoming old because I rolled my eyes and said "Kids these days"

Fun Weekend Pictures

We had a wonderful holiday weekend that included going down to Birmingham to spend time with my parents.  Here are some pictures of our weekend in black and white!
This is my oldest, Leah.  Whenever she wore the headband she called herself an angel.

This is my youngest Audrey.  I just love this photo!

My dad buckling Audrey into her seat.  I love this picture!
Leah on Sunday morning...her dress was too pretty not to color

Red and Yellow ... no it's not McDonald's

The theme this week is RED.  This weekend Leah got to ride in a red wagon ... an original Radio Flyer that was mine when I was a child.  One night she went all out with her pillow and her blankets and had one fun wagon ride!
I also love the expression on her face ... it says "Woman, stop taking pictures of me ... or start paying me for modeling." hehe
and just for fun (because I was super busy and out of town) this is my photo for last week's theme "Your Town"

This is a random statue that is in the lawn outside our apartment complex.  Nobody knew what they were building at first, but apparently the road I live off of is part of the original Music Highway in Nashville ... so they built a guitar with swirling instruments on top of it!

Three's a Crowd

The photo challenge theme over at the paper mama is 3.  This photo is from this weekend.  It is my dad, my little sister and my youngest, Audrey.  My sister, Allison (or Aunt Ali) loves to take pictures with my girls ... like all the time!  Any photo opportunity and Allison is there, lol.  I love this picture because it's my sister always wanting to take a picture and my dad trying to duck out of the picture...and of course, Audrey's just chilling.
See more 3 pictures over at the paper mama!
