weekend photos and tidbits

This is my easy, sweet model:) I say smile, she smiles... I say look away, she looks away, I say look serious and dreamy and she does. :)





Hope you all had a great weekend, we had a very cold Friday and Saturday. Sunday was warmer. We have been spending lots of time reading, learning math, playing Chutes and Ladders and Candyland. We have been reading the Old Testament in our childrens bible stories. We were reading about Abraham and Lot and how Abraham was willing to give instead of argue and fight.
Now Caitlyn is making sure Jacob remembers the story and whenever he argues with her she gets bossy and says,"member Jacob, God says, don't pight! He don't like pighting. If you pight, you will get in trouble!"





Jacob tidbit:
We have also been practicing our cutting with scissors. Jacob had a pretty big pile of paper scraps under his chair and I asked him to pick up before he cut anymore. He groaned. I said something to the extent of I am not your maid, you have to clean up your own mess. He asked "what is a maid?" Chloe answered, "like if you are a rockstar, someone cleans up for you." Jacob thought a minute and said, "well, I want to be a rockstar."
I have no idea where Chloe got her definition.:)







Some ask how do I post larger pics than blogger will post: I use flickr.com. I dowload to flickr, then click on the photo I want to blog, I click all sizes next, then medium, then copy the code at the bottom of the page into my post. Flickr also has a great editing tool... picnic that you can add borders and add edit your photos. You just click edit photo.
You can also resize your image on edit photo and make it whatever size you want if medium doesn't suit you. Then when you click all sizes just use the largest.
