Seth’s Pants Studio

We spent the weekend
in one of my favorite towns, Kansas City.
Just three and a half hours aways,
we couldn’t pass up spending a couple days
celebrating our friend Seth’s birthday.

Once we arrived, we met Seth and Ashlee’s
new kitten Mike McNugget.

Thanks to Ashlee, everything was already set up
for our group to get into the baseball game.

There wasn’t much sports watching,
not by the girls at least.
Instead, we walked around the ballpark
convincing vendors to let us into their
beer huts & popcorn stands.

You can donate five bucks
and request that they make an announcement.
We had fun with that.
“Welcome members and guests of Seth’s Dance Studio”
We threw done another fiver to add,
“Correction, Seth’s Pants Studio.”
Random, but funny to us.

Weekend Getaways

Just a quick post on how
I plan to spend the rest of my summer

A weekend in
Kansas City.

A long weekend in
Memphis, Tennessee.

I’m just as excited about the photos
I plan on taking as I am about actually
visiting these places.

Collection: Vintage Big Eyed Kid Paintings

Somewhere in between my
weekend boredom & eagerness of a new camera lens
I decided to photograph
some of my favorite belongings:
my collection of big eyed kid paintings.

Sure, besides kids there are
puppies
kittens
unicorns
boats
and ballerinas too.
And not all of them have big eyes
(or any eyes at all for that matter)
but that’s what I’ve always called ’em.

Here are some of my favorites
Yes, I said some.
I have more where these came from.

Collection.

My favorite part about these weird little things
is that I remember where each one came from
and the stories these lurkers brought with them.

Holiday Weekend

The end of a long weekend is here.
I had the house, and the day, to myself.
As nice as it was,
bordom did sneak up on me.

After a couple hours in the pool,
I felt like getting a little crafty.
So I made my backyard
a little bit of pretty.

I gathered
construction paper, string
and my puppy too.

As dusk settled in
so did my hunger.
Made my mom’s mac & cheese
with fried okra
and dinner cupcakes
(corn bread, mashed potatoes, & bacon sprinkles).
This was a last minute idea
that is already a new favorite.

The lovely day came to a close
with a rainbow!
