Harry and the Potters

Two brothers, who are both Harry Potter (one as year 4 Harry, one as year 7 Harry), are the frontmen of the band. They dress up, talk like they are Harry, sing, are antics filled. Great showmen. And witty lyricists, to boot.

People dress up for these concerts. They tour to libraries in the summer. Reading is cool.

The age range was extremely diverse. More than I was expecting. There were lots of parents there with their older elementary/middle school age kids. And it was awesome.

Poor Wally. This was his reaction throughout most of the concert. He did ask me to take him up front and that was fun for a bit.

All in all, worth it worth it worth it.

eeee!

a picture OF one of my pictures from the market. This girl, oh I love her. I didn't know she had documented having her instant portrait taken.

wednesdays: safe places

he's close to his uncle. he gravitates to him when we're all together.
this was the day we learned that you can actually spin a child so much that he throws up.
poor thing.
thankfully, that is not what he remembers from that day.

p.s. remember when our little family digicam was on the wrong setting (thanks again, honey) and a picture i love love loved was small and i can't do anything with it?
it happened again with the image above. doh. worse that I had my film camera with me. the digi was in my hand bc i had just been doing a little video.
argh missed opportunities.

August's shelf

There are some "hang-er on-ers" from last month. Didn't completely knock out 1922-29 along with the regular stack. Oh well.

The books look good, and some are slim, which is a blessing. But overall, I'm approaching this month with trepidation. This was the front page of the first one I started:

This book is a product of its time and does not reflect the same values 

as it would if it were written today. Parents might wish to discuss with 

their children how views on race have changed before allowing them

 to read this classic work.

eek!

in the garden

don't these look funky?

p.s. don't judge i didn't take out that line on the right.

minimalist.

minimalist.

minimalist is my mantra today.

today

sprinkles. everywhere. just because i was being lazy
and adding onion powder
instead of diced (real) onion
in the egg salad.


here's the thing, though.
today is glorious.
so i didn't care.
and i photographed instead of being bothered.
glad i learned that. and have proof i've applied it more than once.
