Welcome to the Fun House

Mr. and Mrs. Fun live here with their four children. They all belong to both of us and yes, we know how it happened. We didn't plan to have four children yet it's a wonderful busy life that we wouldn't trade for anything....we are imperfectly perfect.

Twenty-six on Friday (3-26) Those that keep me sane, cinemagraphy.

I struggled this month(seems to be a theme with this challenge). The theme this week is cinemagraphy. , something I had never even attempted before. I didn’t want to look like a weird-o and do something different. So this is my first sucky attempt at cinemagraphy. I waited until the last minute, like usual, to do this so it is what it is. If I have time I will attempt it again and see if I can make it look better.

My daughter, she keeps me sane. She may be a teenager but she is a helper.

I ask her to do something, she does it. If the dishes need done she’ll do them without being asked. She helps me cook. She babysits without complaining even though her little brothers drive her crazy. She gets good grades and has goals that include getting into a good college. She makes parenting easy, always has.

And don’t forget to come back in two weeks to see the next challenge.

Is she really that old?

She studied and studied! She counted down the days until she was exactly 15 years 6 months and on that day I took her to get her test. The wait could have been worse BUT it could have been better. See, we drove to the MVD and she didn’t have her school ID. I remembered her birth certificate and SS card. Sooooo, I had to drive her all the way back home to find her wallet, she had to search through 3 purses before finding it. I couldn’t get upset though because that is something I would do. When we arrived back at the MVD the parking lot was much fuller. Oh well, in we went and 60 minutes later….

I had a daughter with a driving permit. I am afraid, very afraid.

It happened..

My baby turned 7. I wasn’t even asked if it was okay, it just happened. I wasn’t even given a choice to say no, it just happened.
T 7_
He can pour his own milk, get himself dressed, feed the dog, buckle himself in the car and started reading chapter books. His favorite color is green, loves legos and riding his scooter. He’s got some mean dance moves and finds humor in the stupidest things. He’s a little stubborn and has the best pouty face. We are working on the whining and using words in a normal voice when he’s upset. His favorite candy are gummie bears, loves granola bars and hates fruits and veggies. He has an imagination that is bigger than this world. He never forgets an I love you before school but if you frustrate him he’s got a strong arm. He makes us laugh every day with his funny personality.

I hope being seven brings great joy and many happy memories for him.

Twenty-six on Friday (2-26) Get Close..

I was asked by a great group of inspiring photographers to join this challenge. Of course I couldn’t pass it up. Last year they did 52 on Fridays but this year they scaled back to 26 and I am so excited to be a part of it. Our themes for our 26 week project will be more thought provoking, so it will be fun to see the different interpretations. I am working along with 12 other AMAZING photographers. For the month of January, our technique is unique lighting and our theme is “get close” .

This week I struggled. I used to shoot using shadows all the time, I have lost my touch. So glad to be doing this challenge because I have the desire to shoot with dramatic shadows more often.

I love this photo, his expression is such a T expression. He turns seven tomorrow…TOMORROW! Hard for me to believe that my youngest is seven. If I stop to think about it, I feel really old.

I’ve always been a proud wife, that’s a given.

But after Saturday’s Tough Mudder I am that much prouder. I wanted to be there but I was sick, felt like I was going to die sick. These photos are photos taken by friends that were emailed to us. Edited by me.

I had never heard of the Tough Mudder until early last year when Mr. Fun started training for it. I thought he was crazy for doing it, I think it’s crazy anyone does it. Not only do they do it but they pay a lot of money to do it. I think I want to do it next year, crazy huh? Something about being beat up and sore because you accomplished something you didn’t think you could doesn’t sound so crazy now.

Getting out there with friends and people you’ve never seen and helping one another finish this course is something I think I would like to say I did. I am so proud of Mr. Fun, he got out there and not only did he do it but finished it without skipping an obstacle and helped others to finish. He got shocked so hard it knocked him out and still got back up to finish. Kudos to Mr. Fun and everyone that participated.

Oh and the mohawk took me back to the days of pre babies, late night talks at Denny’s and long kisses on the front porch.
