But the thing that always gets to me while watching those shows is when they manipulate a photo and pull an image from just three little pixels. It doesn't happen that way in real life. Until now! I found a website that let's you feel like you are a CSI tech. Check out this picture of Rileigh that I shared with you a few days ago.

Today we went to McDonald's to spend some time with the kids in the play place.

Apparently I am incapable of frowning. I can pout but not frown. I didn't know this about myself until today. My question to you is can you frown?

I spent the evening with my in-laws tonight and boy was it terrifying. The crying, the high-pitched screams, the monsters…what else would you get on a Haunted Hayride.

I like easy foods. Meals that require as few steps as possible are number one in my book. Not that frozen pierogies are a challenge to make but any way that I can simplify the better. Last time I made some Mrs. T's I noticed they have how to make them in your Foreman grill. I figured I would try it and I was not disappointed. So I tried it today with my Target Beccihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12991071508754024542noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138591457246150814.post-67169118491028508172009-09-23T21:51:00.000-04:002009-09-23T21:51:07.100-04:00All I can say is Wow.This really hit a nerve.

Well, she really proved it today! We joined the kids at the county fair and Ri would have ridden every ride if she were only tall enough. The rides she was tall enough to ride she went on all by herself. Her older brother rode them in the beginning but made the mistake of riding one of those that spun too much, so he Beccihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12991071508754024542noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138591457246150814.post-27622396156099126882009-08-09T19:02:00.001-04:002009-08-09T19:09:32.159-04:00The wondrous Bun girls and their amazing jumping part twoBeccihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12991071508754024542noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138591457246150814.post-88419040870633079832009-08-09T19:01:00.001-04:002009-08-09T19:09:32.160-04:00The wondrous Bun girls and their amazing jumpingBeccihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12991071508754024542noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138591457246150814.post-4357485244077976942009-08-09T18:54:00.002-04:002009-08-09T19:09:32.160-04:00McCarthy PartyI like the sound of that. So today the family got together for a picnic and despite the 90º weather we had some fun. My brother and I got to play frisbee which was really nice, we haven’t done that in years and I got to see the “wondrous Bun girls and their amazing jumping.” At least that’s what I’m calling them, they are really good, they should go on tour, they already have the matching Beccihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12991071508754024542noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138591457246150814.post-77917833090917966522009-08-08T17:20:00.001-04:002009-08-08T17:20:26.668-04:00Today I went back in time1864 to be exact.

We did have a super fun day. I loved taking pictures of the rides, the bright colors with the pretty blue sky in the background. James re-enacted a story Cory told him about licking a giant salt lick.

She was first in line to milk the cow, and then when Grandma wanted another picture she did it again. I was so impressed with her I milked the cow too, I figured if she can do it so can I.

But whenever I see them I try to get in close to take a picture of them. Call me a masochist. This little guy wasn’t too bad, he kept spinning around.

I’m sure that everyone thinks their grandma is pretty special, but I have to argue that mine was one of the best.

It was a great walk, we saw several different kinds of birds, some deer and a baby turtle.

Oh well, I guess that means we’ll have to go back for another sunset. Here is another shot from the night. I love that tree.
