Looks like This

Do y'all get looks like this?


Looks from your dirt-clad, brow-furled, curly-headed, mosquito-bitten, forehead-scarred Son that say, "Momma, why are you taking my picture when I'm trying to tattle-tell on my brother? Why must you sit out here with us and see all that's going on, so I can't embellish my side of the story? Why are you so loud? And weird? And when are you going to start acting like a grown-up instead of an over-grown kid?"

Do you get those looks? I get them. A. Lot.

Innocent and Guilty

I love this photo. She's not looking at the camera, but the hint of a profile speaks to the fact that something has caught her attention.



Hmmm.... What is it? An airplane? Her big sister climbing a tree? A monkey? The twins jumping in a swimming pool?


It's the bag of popcorn, 'PopPop' as Lydia calls it, that was once stashed behind her head. But now has been happily procured by the 1 year old.

Apparently the tray-full she had access to was not nearly enough.

Oh, the poor child just can't scrape enough food to eat. She must resort to self-collection methods.

The name of this photo is "Innocent and Guilty".
