Willow actually DOES choose the winner of last week's caption contest, as you can see for yourself ...
And our definitive image of Thanksgiving this year is also brought to us by our dear daughter. Caption this one and Willow will choose the winner by next Monday -- who will receive a brand-new DVD of the movie "Elf" with Will Ferrell. You're really going to have to work hard to outdo your efforts of last week, but I know you can do it!

"I've always been a 'glass half-full' kind of guy."
Hey, No Fair!
I saw mine go flying across the room! There was no way it could get selected!
LOL--that was pretty funny actually! Good job Willow!
Not enough coffee to be funny but that's never stopped me from trying...
"After half a glass, Jack decided to abandon his beanstalk pursuits and set up camp near the merlot."
PS, your clean house in the background all decorated for Christmas makes me want to grab a glass myself! I need a fire lit under me. Or I need to just step away from the computer. Or both. Anyway, yours looks great!

It's supposed to be WORDLESS Wednesday, but if you know me, you know that's next to impossible. I can't shut up.
So here are some ghosts of my Halloween past. As I've said before, my Mom was awesome at Halloween costumes (the Wonder Woman Underoos notwithstanding)...
Wonder Twins! |
How did I talk my sister into wearing THAT getup while I was Cute Witch? |
Remember what I said about "too much costume?" I was 12. As cool as this was, when you're 12 and a girl, you're better off going as a cheerleader or Hannah Montana. Also, nobody likes mimes.
And because tomorrow is my 8th wedding anniversary, I've been thinking a lot about what was then the happiest day of my life (before our kids). Believe it or not, this photo was taken with a digital camera. The resolution was so low, I could have drawn a more accurate photo:
But in this particular shot, I like the low-res effect. You an see my little god-daughter, Imogen, then three years old, down in the right-hand corner, ready to catch the bouquet. I'm climbing the stairs of from the courtyard of the old converted Venetian palace in which Dave and I were just married in Crete. It had just rained lightly. The ceremony was over. I was wearing fresh flowers in my hair, bought in the local market and woven together by my brother that morning. Twenty-five of the people we loved best in the world were there. And I married my best friend. More on that tomorrow ...

Marrying your best friend would come pretty high on the list. Love the costumes, especially the mime!
Underoos!!!
Okay, for a wordless Wednesday, I have a few words.
A. I have never before typed the word "Underoos". It is kinda liberating.
2. I generally hate mimes, but you were a cute one.
Third: Happy anniversary - almost.
(d) Crete? Huh. Isn't that off the Jersey Turnpike? Near Camden? Couldn't spring something fancy like the Mediteranean?
I missed it!
I can't believe I missed your SITS Day! I have no excuse...except that I had to go to work and the grocery store! Thank you for the great Spring Chicken shout-out! I love our tribe!
My hubby and I just celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary in October. That picture of you on the steps is beautiful, low resolution and everything!
Those costumes are adorable. My sister is three years younger than me and she still gives me a hard time about having to be the scarecrow while I was Dorothy. It was about 23 years ago...
The wedding sounds like a dream. Can't to read more tomorrow. Hope you have a very happy anniversary! We'll be celebrating our 8th anniversary, too, in March.
Underoos
Look at you, rockin' the underoos! Awesome.
So looking forward to tomorrow's post! I love a good wedding story. :)
Underoos!
Yea, I have a hard time with the wordless part of Wordless Wednesday too (though I was definitely less chatty than usual this go round! :>).
I remember Underoos!!! I had Supergirl and Wonder Woman and I have the picture of me in my Supergirl set on Christmas flashing through my head now. lol :> Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Happy early Anniversary! Your wedding sounds beautiful and am looking forward to hearing more! :>
I love the Wonder twins!!!! And your witch costume ;)
Title!
My mom and aunt made fantastic costumes as well and one similar to the mime. You guys look great as Wonder Woman times two.
Happy belated SITS day.

Here's a caption challenge for you: Write something to reflect what was happening 1 minute before each pumpkin patch photo was taken. I'll get us started ... "Why's Mama crying?" "I thought pumpkins could bounce ... off cars." "I'm hiding from that kid I pushed." |

WILLOW'S FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL |

Captions!
Wendy, you have made my day :-)
Photo #1...Billy - Funny Face, Photo #4...Willow - Off to School...
One minute before the first photo was taken, Billy has stacked three pumpkins on top of each other...he's waiting to see how long they take to topple over...
One minute before the fourth photo was taken, Willow has filled her school bag with coupons and fridge magnets to distribute to her friends at day care...
Wendy
I'm more interested in knowing how you got them to pose so cute like that. What did you bribe them with? lol
Thank you!
I have to admit: They look pretty scrummy in these pics. The great things about digital photography: You can take enough pictures to piece together an idyllic afternoon, eliminating any evidence of pumpkins thrown into traffic ...
Love to Rae-Bug from her cuzzes! By the way, Willow now calls one kid in her class "Bee-dah" and one little girl "Rae-Bog," as though those are the only two categories into which children may fall :-)
'Why can't I sink my teeth into this pumpkin?!?!' We love the Broadfeet! I showed these pics to Rae & she said, 'It's Biiddeee!' 'It's Woe-woe!'
What Cuties!
You have such cute children!

So beautiful. What a shot. It captures the true essence of what every childhood should be: full of freedom, full of joy.
