Memory Lane Wednesday

This is a simple snapshot of my boys dashing to our neighborhood playground following our uneventful fishing outing to the lake in our neighborhood.















If there is one detail that you should know about my boys and their characters/personalities, it is that they LOVE to be outdoors! There is nothing that entertains them better, calms their disrruptions, prevents disarray, and creates overall pleasant experiences better than our family and the great outdoors.

Many, many many of our memories of these boys' childhood will be from our time enjoying the easily accessible, gentle on the pocketbook, crowd-pleasing aspects of the outdoors!

Choose your photograph from last week, establish your memory, and head on over to Circle of Life to share your revelation with fellow bloggers.

Memory Lane Wednesday

The idea behind Memory Lane Wednesday (Circle of Life), is to pick a picture that you have taken in within the past week, describe it, and make the picture forever a memory.






The picture below is from Super Bowl Sunday (2009). We watched the game, enjoyed Papa Murphy's pizza, and officiated four rambunctous children (about as proficient as the actual officials of the game) with our dear friends, the Savages.

Memories were definitely made; i.e. Mr. Chris doing his football dance, feeding the children salt&pepper popcorn, the fact that we purchased enough pizza for the entire block, Frank-o getting his fingers smashed in the door by the door-slammer, Brayden. Good times had by all!!

Memory Lane Wednesday

I am delving in to one more weekly blog carnival; think this makes like 7 now that I participate in. Participating in blog carnivals on certain days of the week, for me, give signifigance and importance to what might otherwise be, just a regular, 'ole day. The new one is Memory Lane Wednesday and it is hosted by Michelle at Circle of Life.

The instructions for this week are to post a picture that you have taken this week, describe the picture and then it, too, will become a memory.

This was an easy "pic" for me....this snapshot is one that I took (hence the reason that it seems as though as I am never present for these memorable moments) of the boys, Daddy Buck and I during our bedtime gametime ritual. After baths, we play one game, read one book, then off to bed for the boys. This night (and most nights for that matter, because it is nearly impossible to find a game that 2 & 3 year olds can play) we played our favorite, Diego 1 2 3. In the sense of photography, this is not an excellent picture...poor lighting, poor focus, poor position; but I liked it nonetheless and now it is a wonderful memory.
