Houston Trip 2011

Well, here's something new. I'm blogging...on a weeknight...after 8:30! WOW! We're implementing something at our house called bedtime. So this means Avery has been in her bed now for 30 minutes, calling me for random requests - "Mama, I need my drink" "Mama, my nose is running" "Mama, please put my snowman light up, it's not Christmas anymore" "Mama, turn on my turtle light" "Mama, I need to kiss my babies" "Mama, I'm scared of that pointy shadow". Get the point? So I'm having about 5 minutes stretches of 'me' time and I actually found time to blog tonight! Maybe this is just what my blog needed. One moment please, the princess rings...

....this time is was "Mama, you sleep yet?" "No, Avery" "Well, what you doin in there?" Now this is the part where I am actually afraid to tell my child that I'm on the computer in fear of a tantrum.... I pause... "I'm looking at something in the kitchen" (partially true) "No you not, it's dark in there!" BUSTED. But, I digress. What this post is actually about is a trip to Houston that we took in August. Yes, August! You see, this is the problem with the old school film. First, you have to use a whole roll. Then you have to remember to take it out of the camera and bring it to CVS. And most importantly, pray they don't lose it. So far, I'm 1 for 2 on that one. As if that is not enough, you have to remember to tell them to make a CD, pick it up and load the pictures onto your computer and then into Blogger. I mean this was an ordeal folks! So, without further adieu, I hope at least one of you (mom...you out there?) enjoys the pictures!

Here's the gang...
