Hey Cleatus,

Have I ever told you…

That I hate to see you go…

But I love to watch ya leave?

Because I do. Oh, yes I do.

Time for another round of Weekly Winners hosted by Sarcastic Mom.

But! Before I show off my pictures I thought I would tell you WHAT I USED TO TAKE THESE PICTURES. A Nikon D40. FINALLY! Cleatus succumbed to the whining and begging and promise of blow jobs (for his co-workers) and let me go get my camera. It makes me a little sad, because I am still in love with my older camera and I promised I would sell it if I got the new one. So. I may end up taking the Nikon back if I don’t love it as much as I love my (6 month) old Kodak. So far though? I LOVE MY BABY.

Now onto the good stuff.

My younger cousin graduated from high school last night, so I got to take lots of pretty pictures of her in her graduation dress. She looked so pretty. See?

Hot.

Pretty dress, huh?

The graduate and her mama.

Enough with the pictures of the pretty girl. More are on Flickr if you wanna see.

On to the pictures of my little family.

There’s just something about a man in a white t-shirt…

That makes me wanna lick him…

It’s possible that Eeyore came about after Cleatus wore a white t-shirt. Just sayin’.

So much energy.

He looks like he’s considering spraying me, doesn’t he? I better back up.

I just love my little family.

Tonight was the big night, y’all. Cindy-Lu’s first ever soccer practice. Would she get on the field and kick that ball like a pro? Or would she get on the field and cry like a little bitch because her mommy wasn’t there?

OH MY GAWD, DAD! They want to put a name tag on me! Hold me!

She actually did a lot better than I expected. She cried for a couple of minutes after the coach dared to put a name tag on her back. Stickers. They are EVIL.

She got over it though and Cleatus left the field and she started walking off towards the middle of the field like the coach told the kids to do. The coach (hereafter called “Coach” because I don’t want to keep typing THE COACH and because she is not actually a coach because SHE SUCKS and is therefore in quotes) (Also note there are actually TWO coaches. But they sucked so much they are just being called “Coach” together.) completely ignored MAH PRESHUS BAYBEE and focused on all of the other kids. I might sound a bit whiny and annoying when I say that, but seriously. Neither one of them said ONE WORD to Cindy-Lu. She stood to the side by herself and stared at them while they worked with the other kids. At times they would just wander away and leave her on her own.

“Coach?” Where’d ya go? Anyone? Bueller?

After about twenty minutes of Cindy-Lu being completely ignored Cleatus went out on to the field and helped her out.

Dat’s a ball, Daddy. “Coach” helps the other kids kick that, but maybe YOU can help me?

So he did. Because he’s a good daddy.

Hmm. Dat ball wants me to kick it.

Okay, maybe I will. But gently. So I don’t hurt my piggies.

After Cindy-Lu kicked the ball to her Daddy a few times and was continually ignored by “Coach” it was time for everyone to come and get a drink of water. All the kids were herded over to the water coolers and given drinks. Except for Cindy-Lu. She just stood there and made faces.

You got water? I don’t got water.

What? I don’t look thirsty? Or I’m just invisible?

After all the other children were given water and Cindy-Lu was not, it was time for the parents to come and collect their children. Luckily I was paying attention, because “Coach” wandered off and left Cindy-Lu alone in sea of people by herself. Because, you know, Cindy-Lu is, like, totally easy to miss. She’s practically invisible.

Me? I not invisible. I just playin’ soccer. All alone.

*Obviously, the bitch is the coach.

It’s time for another round of Weekly Winners hosted by Sarcastic Mom. I must confess that I took every single one of these pictures this morning while waiting for the kids to head off to Sunday School with their Nana. It was a gorgeous morning. See for yourself.

I can hear birds chirping when I look at this picture. (Maybe because I’m sitting by an open window?)

So happy that everything is GREEN again! And blue.

This little snail sits in my garden. Poor guy has to watch me kill all the flowers.

Cheese.

Now that I’ve shipped the kids off to Sunday School and don’t have to listen to them whine for another 24 hours (that’s right, they are going home with Nana and spending the night! Hallelujah!), I suppose I should go take a shower. Or climb back in bed. Or go eat a cookie for breakfast. I love freedom.

This is my first week participating in Weekly Winners, hosted by Sarcastic Mom. Basically, Weekly Winners is a way to show off your favorite photos from the past week and also check out other’s favorites. Here goes!

Cindy-Lu’s first time bowling. The shoes were one of her favorite parts.

I love Eeyore’s profile, which is good, because he always turns the other way as I try to take his picture.

I don’t know what it is about this picture, but I LOVE it.

Here’s Eeyore at the park pouting a bit, because he isn’t ready to go home.

Now, I’m off to check out some of the other Weekly Winner’s photos. Wanna join me?
