Writer's Block Sucks

Maybe it's not writer's block. Maybe it's that my life has been non-eventful. Non-eventful is good. It just isn't conducive to keeping up my blog.

I did take some pictures today of the boy and the beautiful orchids and plants that my neighbor has across the street. The boy wasn't photographed with the plants (or else I would have an angry neighbor), but he was photographed with the snail that he captured. He appropriately named him Gary (or maybe that was me).





The orchids on my neighbor's front porch are absolutely gorgeous. Some people just have a God-given green thumb. Mine happens to be black. So I gaze longingly at his flowers and thank God for those people (and especially for the flowers).

One for the wedding slideshow

Need I say anything??? This one is definitely going in the "Embarassing Pictures of Ethan to Show His Future Wife" album. Some of you may be saying, 'Get them a dog already!' To that, I will pretend like I didn't hear you and continue to let my daughter walk her brother.

Last month Mackenzie and her class went to Butterfly World, and she was able to purchase a chrysalis from the gift shop. It was super cool and we couldn't wait to see it emerge as a beautiful butterfly...until Mack dropped the cup on the floor. I was convinced that it was dead. Thankfully, I didn't flush it because it came out on Friday!! Mackenzie came screaming down the stairs that I needed to come upstairs. When I got to her room I saw it. It was so beautiful! I don't know how long it had been in there like that, but it's wings were dry and it was flapping around in there, ready to fly away. So we went outside and let it go. The end.
