Killing time

Yesterday I thought I'd try and have some fun with my camera. As my camera and I have not associated a lot lately. And this is what I came up with ...Just a few candid shots. I had all of my "chores" for the day done, I really didn't want to watch TV ...so I played with the kids.

This one I told Rayne to give Aunt Becki a kiss. I couldn't believe it turned out as well as it did ...You can see her lips and yes those are just her lips

Riley pulled out his buzzlight year camera and was taking pictures too. Better than him taking one of mine.
Sleeping Beauty ...she played hard all morning. She grabbed her blankie and her kitty and crawled up on the couch on her own and fell asleep.
I pulled back the blanket so you could see how long she is. That's her daddy kitty. A kitty her and daddy picked out together, so she'd have something to cuddle with when daddy wasn't home. Now its turning into her security cuddle.

Some thinking ...Finger 11

Ok I was sitting here rocking and moving ...just a cleaning away, I mean I was moving. Rayne and Riley were playing in their room and watching Sherk. I got all 3 hall closets cleaned out, my bedroom closet cleaned out, my room cleaned up, Rayne and Riley's closet cleaned out ...all before 9:30 ...Like I said I was MOVING AND ROCKING. So it was time to come into the living room and family room to do the daily pick up straighten up in there and clean out the living room closet. I figured that the kids were in their room fine and ok I was going to put a CD in and listen to some music. I tossed in Finger Eleven and was jammin even harder. Then "Falling On" came on and I started listening to the words, I even repeated the song and I got to thinking oh how true that song was about a lot of things and different aspects. You really do have to find a balance. Lunch time then running up to the thrift store to drop off 4 big bags of crap we are getting rid of.

Lyrics as follows ....

Finger Eleven "Falling On"
When you feel so close to some resolve
And you write the words you were writing for
But your courage gets dissolved Into what, I don't know...
When you feel that way again
You have to stop your thinking
And think of what you're here for
And let the rest of your feelings go
You've got to find your balance
You've got to realize
You've got to try to find what's right before your eyes
And if you find you've fallen
And all your grace is gone
Just scream for me and I'll be what you're falling on
When you feel so close to some resolve
And you say the things that you're standing for
Don't let your courage get dissolved
Cause it's then that the fear grows
Just give me the word and I'll be there for you
Just give me the words that I've been living for
Just tell me the things you might have felt before
It's do or die -- this is either/or
Just give me the word and I will be there
Just give me the word and I will be there
