Trick or treat 2006

October 31st, 2006 — 10:49pm

Snow White had a successful haul of candy and Dopey tried her best to get a nap in the cold, it wasn’t happening.
We tracked all over the hilltop and got many adoring looks from The Princesses’ growing fan base.

Too bad I couldn’t get a great representational picture but here are some attempts that document the event.
Snow White and Dopey waiting to go.

Ms White to the cottage! Ms Snow White, please report to the dwarf cottage!
Emma makes a good Dopey; doesn’t say much, big dreamy eyes, eats soap. Hi Dopey
This is the best shot I have of Abby in her new red hooded cloak that Mommy made. She wore it all day and became Lucy (from Narnia), Little Red Riding Hood, and Snow White all in one day.
Cloak and dagger
I experienced the “can’t capture the grandeur of the landscape with the teeny tiny point and shoot” camera tonight. The dark, the excitement, and the camera conspired against me for suitable live action shots.

Pumpkin warmup

October 31st, 2006 — 1:06am

Haven’t taken the time to update pictures recently so I get backed up like this and then dump six at once. I still promise a shot or two of Snow White and Dopey. But here are a few recent pictures to precede All Hallows Eve.

So we went to the patch…
The wheelbarrow saved the day
Saw one we liked…
Warm little punkin
Picked it…
peep pluck
Took em home and carved em…
ritualistic disembowlment of an otherwise untoward squash
Decided we liked this one too much…
Mine all mine
So we kep’ her.
Couldn't see sticking a candle in there

Geek o’ the week

October 29th, 2006 — 3:23am

Well my geek quotient went up a little bit tonight.
Despite the fact that I am blogging at 3 – no 2AM I am doing it from my re-invigorated Powerbook.

Infused with a self-installed new 100GB 7200RPM drive and partitioned for easy upgrading. The real geek factor is that I enjoyed taking this thing apart and only had a mild panic attack when lifting off the connector for the trackpad made a distinct cricking noise as if I had lifted the piece right off the motherboard. I am proud to say I don’t have another entrant in my “I broke this” category. In fact, this one could go in a VERY small category known as “I fixed this”.
I took about 15-20 pictures of the process that I may post someday, if I feel like it.

But ahhhhhh, it feels good to have her back. She is fast, secure, portable, and if I am lucky, it means that I will actually be able to update you all a little more without freezing my toes negative impact. More news, more pictures, less time.
It is ALL good.

Coming soon!
Pumpkins and princesses and dwarves.
