big time slacker.

Ugh.  I am such a slacker.  I hardly took any photos at all this past week.  Just one of those weeks, you know?  I hated to miss a Scavenger Hunt Sunday, though, so I "scavenged" my archives.  This week is a combo of old and new shots.

Boo

Obviously, this was taken just before Halloween.  At the church party, my mom was in charge of decorating one of the rooms for the kids to trick or treat in.  She made a huge green armless monster and cut the mouth out so she could cover her hand and use it as a tongue.  My sister told the kids he was her pet monster.  The kids would walk up and say "trick or treat, Herman" and my mom would stick her "tongue" out with candy on it.  The kids raved about that room - they loved it.  They kept coming back, they thought it was so funny.  But NOT bug.  Oh, no.  Even though he has a pet monster of his own, he was TERRIFIED.  He wouldn't go anywhere near it.  I just about had a melt down when I tried to make him.

Black 

another pretty good recent family photo.  Apparently the secret is to either be dressed in costumes and unrecognizable or only shadows and completely unrecognizable.  I'm glad I discovered that now so as to save lots of future aggravation.

Texture

Also from the archives.  About two weeks ago, we went to the park and bug was fascinated with the lake.  I like the texture on not only the tree, but the grass in the background too.

Wet

also at the lake, but not from the archives (one of the few).   This guy obviously wanted to get just one more trip in before grounding his boat for the season.  It's COLD.

Language

This is pretty much the only language she speaks fluently right now.  This and "giggle."

Over at Shutter Love Tuesdays, the theme is brown.  

my niece's hand as she walked down the ramp at the park.

And keeping with color themes, iheartfaces is "orange."

my brother IL's cool pumpkin.  Wish I'd had the whole "fog machine in the jack o lantern" idea.

And here is my contribution to Scripture and a Snapshot, hosted by Katie Lloyd Photography.
