At the park

Playing before school starts. Or PE.

(all photos were taken with my iphone. black and white conversions were done with best camera app.)

I’m enjoying blogging with my phone. I think I want to do a series on glimpses of homeschooling. It’s really not all about books. Though I’m sure Keilah wouldn’t mind if it was.

Shannon & Bryan’s Engagement Session | Julian

Ah, what can I say about this two? Maybe I should have Kealoha write this post because she’s *completely* in love with Bryan and Shannon. She makes them drawings regularly, and they indulge her stories. They let me play in their softball team (David’s idea, not mine!) even though I can’t even untie my own shoes! ha! We dig their sense of humor, and they love good food so we enjoy hanging out with them. Our family is blessed to have them in our lives.

Bryan and Shannon actually drove to Julian the week before these photos were taken to scout out some places for the shoot. The colors hadn’t quite changed, yet, but by the time we took these photos, the leaves’ colors have turned into these glorious shades!

Of course, I love this out-of-focus one. I’m weird like that. :P

Happy Monday, and have a great week!

So embarrassing

On Friday night, I went to my friend, Aaron’s, birthday party at a bowling alley.

The place was packed with people (an important detail which makes this story more embarrassing.)

I went to rent some lovely bowling shoes. As our lanes were a bit down the hall from the cashier, I decided to put on the very stylish footwear right away so I didn’t have to carry them any longer. So I threw them on the floor and proceeded to slip my feet into them. I took one step and quickly realized that the shoes were tied together! But the realization came too late, as my clumsiness, gravity, and the still-tied shoes all colluded and propelled me into a face-plant right in the middle of the bowling alley! Haha!

Thankfully, no one in our party witnessed what happened. Most of them are wedding photographers with Twitter accounts, and I’m sure a photo of me would have ended up on the fail blog had they seen my little incident.

I’m still laughing about it. And I thought I’d share so you can also get a laugh on this Monday afternoon. Mondays can be so rough, right?

Please tell me I’m not the only one to whom these things happen? Tell me your stories. Email me if you’re too embarrassed to post here. I’d like to laugh, too. With you and not at you, of course! And it’s ok. You may laugh at me. I do. All the time!
