Foto Friday #7

Okay, okay...so that should read "Foto Saturday" but it doesn't have the same cuteness so we'll just pretend that instead of slacking off, I actually did post this yesterday. Good? Good.

Friday I was too busy swooning and being all giddy. When you see the pictures, you'll understand. Or you'll just think I'm weird and need to get out more. Either way. But my first picture is of the Boy's new best friend, China. No, not the Olympic host country (although he is now fascinated with BMX bike racing). I'm talking about my parents' dog named China.


We spent Monday evening at my parents' "house" and the kids didn't want to do much else besides pet the dog. We tried a Family Home Evening. They were willing enough to sing with us but when it came to any organized activity, the Boy had to have at least one hand on China at all times. So da Boo taught the lesson. Well, really, she told the Lie Monster story and described the picture we made to go with it. Still, it was fun. And there were root beer floats and chocolate sodas so it was a lovely evening.

This next picture might need some explaining if you aren't as much of a nerd as I am. Remember these fabulous paintings? Well, they now hang in my living room and brighten my mood every time I see them. So when the Man told me that the artist, James Christensen, was having a show at the BYU Bookstore, I went! I drug the kids and my mom with me. They got to listen to me make goofy squealing noises because I was so excited, I was no longer capable of coherent speech. And?


This is James Christensen with da Boo! The Boy was at the end of his "well-behaved" time and was clinging to my leg, weeping, instead of posing with Mommy's favorite artist. Oh well. I still got a picture of him! Unfortunately, since I am operating on half a brain these days, I neglected to bring our books of his so he could sign them. Not all is lost! He has another show soon!
