Jot it Down Tuesdays (Grumpies, Happies & Pics)

Today was chaos with a side of hurricane. 

We know that warm days are going to be far and few, so we had to seize the day. It was Skyler's turn for photos. Taking a teen's photos, with two siblings in tow, no help, no money for "fun" snacks (pay day is tomorrow), 35 MPH winds, high sun, and said teen developing a severe headache, is like teaching a cat how to whistle, while neatly painting it's claws hot pink, after you gave it a bath. Oh, and the museum that we were going to walk through for school today: CLOSED.

Nice.

*sigh*

But, hey, I still think we got some great pics.
(These will look better after I auto-correct them. Please forgive the wash-out.)



As I jot down my grumpies, I must also jot down my happies.

We found a FREE museum that was open.

We found our way to a park that was out of the wind.

I captured these last shots there...

...right before the big guy's head was about to explode. Skyler fakes a better headache smile than I do, for sure!

Not gonna check my grammar today. Just jotting it down.

I hope you'll still come back tomorrow.

I'll take a Happy Pill...

I promise.

Cheering you on & checking the fuel gauge,
Layla

    It's a good thing he has short hair. 35 mile an hour winds would have been whipping my girls' hair everywhere. Not nice for pictures.


    Great pictures. I love the one in the tall grass.

    Yeah, you can get away with a LOT more with boys! However, they are not into posing like girls are.

    "Don't you have enough pics yet???" LOL

    Thanks. :) I like that one too.
