Sunflower lovin'

As we headed towards a friend who had her kids in tow and was visiting her parents yesterday, I looked to my right and out my car window saw sunflowers. Love. So, I slowed down and turned onto the dirt road. I took some pictures of the yellow beauties. When I was done I performed a perfect "Y turn" on the road, I glanced into my side view mirror I saw love again. The farm, the dirt road, and the image in the mirror.....a perfect capture. The straight-on shots can't compare.

This was taken with the camera on my phone...edited in Instagram.

Keep Calm and Carry On

For all the hype surrounding the Keep Calm and Carry On slogan, the back story. I found this video to be enjoyable (and educational).

Big Enough to Ride

Last Sunday Austin was invited to a birthday party at a hotel oasis, and I took Ethan to partake in the swim part (okay'd by the birthday boy's mom). After Ethan saw the kids go down the waterslide he was begging....he isn't 48" tall, like the sign said he needed to be, that I know. I took his hand anyway, and we marched up the red stairs, and met the attendant before the last flight to the top. I asked Is he too little to go down the slide? He's my child that has fear of nothing. Can he go down? She sat, looking down, and was silent. Do you know if he's 48 inches tall? I knew he wasn't....I have no idea...he has no fear... I assured her...He's my little kamakazie...so she said sure, let him try and we'll see how it goes. Well....that was the beginning of him on an endless circle of stairs and waterslide. He had so much fun, he didn't want to get off!
