Random Thoughts on a Monday Afternoon

Why We Can't Have More Kids:

This morning, the boys were up at 5:40 a.m. (dang that Daylight Savings) so I got up and made breakfast before school. In one, hour-long time frame, they consumed the following:

6 Waffles
3.5 bowls of cereal
Approximately 1/4 gallon of cow's milk
1 cup of Almond Milk
A good deal of O.J.
And I'm fairly certain that before I got out of bed they snuck some Halloween candy from the top shelf of the pantry.

My 5 year old, 4 year old, and 1 year old.
ATE ALL THESE THINGS.
And this is why we can have no more.
Because if they keep eating like this, we'll have to start eating paint chips for snacks between meals.
Just to make the groceries last longer.

And before you say it Megan, yes, I KNOW that it only gets worse.

On Talking Southern and Other Speech Related Matters:

Further evidence that Owen is talking like a southerner, yesterday he announced to us that it was his turn to take something to school for "show and tail". This was after he counted out 10 of his trains:
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, TIN"
Meanwhile, AJ has apparently taken on the speech of a Bostonian/Brooklyn-ite (it's a mix between the two), saying things like "I need a glass of wata-uh" or "let's play cahhhs (cars)" or "Cooper is our dauwg"

Do You Read My Biz Blog?
If not, then how come?
Help me come up with some topics for my Photography 101 series. I'm going to try to post something once a week along the lines of a tutorial or tips 'n tricks type thing, but I'm not really sure where to start. Last week I did just a general "How to take better photos of people" type of post, but this week I'd like to start in on something slightly more in-depth. Any ideas?

What's going on with all of you guys?

I wonder if you could help a girl out with photoshop? I haven't a clue where to start. I don't even know how to make color into b&w.

BTW, I was raised in the South and had quite an accent, but today it is nowhere to be found. Those years in the North must have cured me. It makes sense that AJ is getting a southern accent when he is learning phonics from a southern teacher. That is what my parents blamed it on anyway (both born and raised in Michigan).

I second Melissa's plea. I need a whole class on photo shop. :)

And from your biz blog it looks like you have been a busy bee the past few days! You did some fabulous work! :)
