Disqualified
Once again, I was disqualified from my neighborhood’s "Best Decorated House" contest due to my bad attitude!

Way Overdue
I've been a slacker posting photos to this blog. Here is a photo taken in October at the U2 concert. I needn't mention that it was phenomenal show, do I?

The Apple of His Eye
Even though we give her more independence every day, we still keep a sharp eye on her.

Before and After
Just before we left for our California trip and the day after school let out, my daughter decided to go from this:
to this:
She is a second-time donor to Locks of Love.

Birdie, Birdie in the Sky...Er...Tree
There is a very large palo verde tree next to the parking space where I usually park when volunteering at school. While leaving the school on Monday, my pal Karen and I were chatting and watching this little guy flitting around the tree. I kept trying to get the perfect shot of him; finally, I captured this. I think I did pretty well, don't you?

Family History
Rummaging around my photos, I came across this piece of family history. I think this must have been taken about two years after my parents came to this country, because I'm about one year old, and I was born 10 months after my parents arrived. The man shaking my father's hand is the minister of the church that sponsored my family to this country. Left to right starting in the back is the minister, my mother (stunning, isn't she?), my father, sister 1, sister 2. In the front row left to right is sister 4, me, and sister 3. My oldest sister is now 61, and I just turned 47, so that means this photo was taken circa 1964.

Sixth of the Sixth
Sanni of My Life Through a Lens tagged me for a photo meme. The rules are as follows:
1. Go to your Picture Folder on your computer or wherever you store your pictures.
2. Go to the 6th Folder and then pick the 6th Picture.
3. Post it on your bloggy and tell the story that goes with the picture.
4. Tag 5 other glorious peoples to do the same thing and leave a comment on their bloggy tellin’ them ’bout it.
Well, being one who likes to bend and twist rules a bit, I decided to go to the bottom of the list of photo files and choose the sixth one from the last. There I found this photo:
This was taken in August 2002 on the first day of preschool for Little Man. Bonnie Lass was entering first grade, and we were just getting to leave for the morning. As you can see, by this time (the fifth in a series of photos) the kids were getting a bit...unfocused, so we left for school shortly after this. Little Man's backpack was a Bob the Builder pack, and it was HUGE on a three-year-old; it held large construction paper art projects really well.
Normally I don't tag, but since I know these people are photo takers, I'll tag the following:
1. Go to your Picture Folder on your computer or wherever you store your pictures.
2. Go to the 6th Folder and then pick the 6th Picture.

Reality Sets In
A sad reality of the school budget cuts, the cabinets that used to be filled with colored copy paper are now nearly bare. Teachers are now allotted reams of white copy paper to last them a certain period of time, and if they want colored paper, they must trade in their white paper. Not an ideal situation, but it has forced the school's staff to be more creative when it comes to developing lessons for the kids and distributing news. School communiques are now distributed exclusively via e-mail, the web site, and telephone. The upper grades are taking tests online, and teachers are rethinking the amount of homework that needs to be sent home (which thrills my son!).
