BOO! 051905
What a GOOFY kid!
In order to fully appreciate this photo, you have to have some context.
It was a dark and stormy night...
Actually, it wasn't. It was an average spring day in our little part of the world, not too hot, not too cold (and for those of you who are sort of geographically challenged and Canada-ignorant, we are directly above Washington State -- our weather is quite similar to Seattle's so pay closer attention to those ridges of high pressure along the coast of the Pacific NW -- that's US -- oh, and there is no three-hour difference in British Columbia if you share the same West Coast that runs along the Pacific Ocean, which the majority of you reader peoples do). ANYWAY, Sir Kendie-Q was TOTALLY not interested in letting Mommy get anything done (imagine that) so we were playing. More like he was climbing all over me and trying to eat the camera. I used the red eye mechanism on the Olympus with this shot, so I'm wondering if I did any lasting retinal damage with the close proximity of the camera to his chubby-wubby face. Hopefully not, but if so, it's sure a funny picture. I can already see it in 4' x 6' projection on the canvas in the gym for Grad Night -- that's when all the 18- and 19-year-olds are finishing their secondary/high school educations and being embarrassed all to hell by their parents with the baby picture slide show, and all the parents are weeping like babies as they wonder where all those years went, a veritable slide show for them, too, wondering why everything is 'sliding' away so quickly -- from the gravitational forces on their aging bodies (skin, boobs, buns, the wobbly under the arms, OTHER parts prone to 'slip-slidin' away'--use your imagination) and of course, the slippage of time. I see this photo now and I know that my little man adores me, and I him, and POOF! Tomorrow he will be two weeks shy of his 15th birthday, just like his oldest brudder.
All that from one little snappy...I need to get out more often.

Okay. I have to go back later and read this. Just reading the first line has me cracking up. Still giggling and I HAVE TO WORK. Damn it. This kid should have his own show.
I LOVE this photo. Makes me smile. And want to pick him up and squish him.
