No tootsie rolls involved....

....just a spinning chair and a prepared camera. Worked like a charm. Now how can we adapt that theory for the family photo...... hm....








Eggnog Latte anyone?




Picture mom putting down the camera, taking away the cup, and the screaming fit that followed.

Things Missed....

Well - I am sad to say that because of things resembling H1N1 (that put our entire family out of commission for about 2 weeks), I failed to post in honor of my husband's 30th birthday! I could never have asked for someone more loving and supportive to spend my life with. Thank you Steven for all you do - I love you so much and definitely don't deserve you.

In having little boys, I have found a new form of fun.... experimenting with cake decorating....I found out that my husband's favorite cake as a boy was one his Mimi made him, a 3-D stegosaurus that had actual spikes on it's spine....so here was my effort to surprise my 30 year old hubby. I was a little limited by the need to have a yellow cake with chocolate icing...Happy Birthday Steven.


The rest of the pictures are a lame attempt for me to get pictures of my boys together outside with fall colors. Please note that all pictures of the two together or ANY that involve a smile from my eldest come with the bribe of a tootsie roll.
