I ♥ Faces - Autumn Beauty

This weeks I ♥ Faces photo challenge is "Autumn Beauty" and I think this picture could easily be titled just that!

This photo was taken about a month ago when my good friend Julie asked me to do a little photo shoot of her family. Her daughter, Meghan, usually wears glasses and while taking this picture, I was standing on a chair looking down on Meg and her brother, Peyton. As I was shooting away, I noticed that there was a terrible glare coming from her glasses so I asked her to take them off for a minute. It was towards the end of the shoot and the kids were getting a little antsy and as willing to fully cooperate. I just kept snapping away and this was one of those shots. It is what seems to be a pure luck shot but I fell in love with it the minute I saw it. She is truly an Autumn Beauty.

What was I thinking?

What was I thinking waiting so long to get a new computer?????

I think I have asked myself that very question about a thousand times since Wednesday.

What a difference! I think I am in love!!!!

Know what else I am in love with???

This handsome little guy...


This little fellow got some Pop Rocks while Trick-or-Treating and he decided he wanted to try them.

I tried to explain exactly what the were like, and that I didn't think he would like them, but he ripped them open any way and...bottoms up!



At first he was so proud of himself and really liked the sweetness of the candy.

But then, it started to snap, crackle and pop. Oh wait...it's Rice Crispies that do that.

Ready. Set. Let the poppin' and rockin' begin!

As the poppin' and rockin' became more intense, so did the expression on his face! It was truly priceless to watch.
Not that I found any enjoyment in watching this. I would never be that childish or unempathetic.

But I can honestly say what happened next was more than just funny.

It was hilarious!

See for yourself...

Not so tough now, are you?!?

Little Man didn't really throw up, he just spit his mouth full of Pop Rocky goodness nastiness into the trash.

And I am sure he too was thinking...What was I thinking???

After all of this, he decided he was more of a Sucker Boy than a Rockstar!

p.s. Shannon...I really wanted to get a Mac but since they are so expensive and I am kinda a cheap frugal person I decided to go for the 1/2 priced option. It is a Lenovo. I hadn't ever heard of it before, but my uncle the expert, highly recommended it so I listened.

a reason to smile

I have a BIG reason to smile tonight. Today I ventured over to my Uncle Russ and Aunt Kala's store, Minco, and bought my a new toy! I got the brand new laptop I have been wanting to purchase for long time now. WooHoo!
And lookie-lookie...it even has a built in camera/web cam.

Fun stuff I tell you!
I can not believe how much faster this is than the old hunk of junk antique desktop that, up until now, I have been using.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....you'll have to excuse me while I bask in the glory for a while!
