We spent Wednesday at Universal Studios and Thursday at Legoland. Georgia did quite well at both, she even squealed with delight at Universal, when one of the dogs in the Animal show was an ‘animal actor’ from Beverly Hills Chihuahua (remember she only loves small dogs). After a two day break, we thought we’d give her one more try at getting excited about Disneyland …

Conversation earlier today –>

Me: Georgia, do you like Disneyland?
Georgia: Yes, when I am at home, I like it.
I guess she just wants to ‘like it’ from afar –> She’s just not that into you Mickey.

I’ll be doing my NaBloPoMo thingy all during the holiday. I’ll also be twittering the road trip away –> follow me on twitter @ http://twitter.com/mommyknows.

After Georgia put Sunlight dish soap in the fish tank, and KILLED the fish.

I was more than happy to drop her off at school.

She was upset, and has told me several times that, she is, “sorry for killing the fish”. Truthfully, I think that she was more concerned about my anger than the dead fish (I’ve have repeatedly cautioned her to stay out of the fish tank). She did ask me where the fish went (I flushed it while she was doing time out on her bed). Thinking I’d freak her out, I told her, “I’m going to fry it up and make you eat it for supper”. Without missing a beat, she informed me “It’s not enough, I’m a BIG eater”. It’s true … she is a big eater and it was a really small fish (2″).

She’s like Dennis the Menace the female version. Any naughty kids in your life?

Sam and Lizzy were back to school today. I always try to take a first day of school photo.

Here is Lizzy’s.

HOLY crap … where did my little girl go? All of a sudden she looks like she’s captain of the ladies field hockey team. She looks grown …

You’re just nine … show me nine!

Look Mom … I can do the splits! Take a picture hurry!

C wants you to know, she too can do the splits (and pose for a photo). Soooo pretty.

OK, I am feeling a bit better. She’s not quite as grow up as she looks.

Best Friends Forever.

Ummm girls? A smile wouldn’t hurt.

OKay, they’re NINE for sure. It’s amazing how funny a set of rabbit ears can be to a kid. Someone tell them it’s just NOT that funny.

I have a new camera. Maybe, I should call it a new obsession. All I’ve been doing is taking photos, then editing/processing photos.

Now that I have ‘retired’ I have decided to further pursue my photography hobby. I packed away my old Nikon D70 and treated myself to a Nikon D300. It’s way, way, way too much camera for this mommy. Nevertheless, I am determined to figure out how this one works.

I took several pictures of the kids yesterday. This is my favourite of Sam:

Here is the same photo in black and white:

It’s amazing really the how different they seem. In this version of black and white you see his freckles better; and it’s seems to have been taken in another time and place. I can’t decide, which I prefer. How about you, black and white or colour?

If you have the time, give it a try. I would love to see your efforts (make sure to leave a link in the comments section).
