Easter Egg Adventures

by Kay~Kacey on 4/26/2011

Ah, yes. You didn’t think I’d miss posting photos from the annual Great Easter Egg Shootout. ™. Lots and lots of pics…
the target
This year’s target…my sister picked it out. aaarrrrrrr! (We’re not sure what a pirate has to do with Easter, but we’re flexible if nothing else.)

sling shot easter eggsHere’s a bird’s eye view of shooting the eggs with the sling shot. (photo courtesy of the ever talented SuperGuy.)

I shot too.

Too prove a point. I shot the eggs too! (photo courtesy of my oldest son…I had to make sure he gave me back my camera after this!!)

sling shot time

Lots of concentration.

Did it hit?

Did I hit it?

youngest trying to get groundedAh, my young son trying his best to get grounded by aiming the slingshot at his mother….

my sisterA pic of my sister, just because I rarely capture a photo of her without her making a face at me…

mom blowing bubbles

My mom, forever young at heart, blowing bubbles.

So what do you do with a shot up pirate full of eggs when you’re finished??

then we were doneBurn his remains, of course… (I did not want those stinky broken eggs in my garbage until Thursday!)

As an aside…do you know how stressful it is to make sure I have a photo of everyone?? Well, anyway…I have more up on my Photography Blog. So, if you are missing here (that would be you, Tyler…) head on over to Kay Pickens Photography to see more photos and bigger photos!!! I swear, I could have posted a hundred of them. I’m also working on a video, but don’t have the music for it yet.

Love

Love out of scrabble tiles and wedding ring

Forgive me while I get a tad mushy on this Valentine’s Day and have a bit of a public display of affection. There are times, in the quiet of the night when I can’t sleep and my mind is racing, that I wonder what I’ve done in life to be so lucky to have found SuperGuy. Seriously. What karma happenstance let me find this man…or this man find me? I love everything about him. His smile. His eyes. His flannel shirt that he lets me steal all the time. I’ve (almost) grown used to the fact I may never get my van back in the garage with all his woodworking stuff in there. I love sharing my morning coffee with him. I love competing on the crossword puzzle with him.  I even kinda love his truck. 😉

He cooks. He vacuums. He fills up my car with gas. He never forgets an anniversary or birthday. He loves photography too. He jokes me out of my bad moods, knows when to feed me chocolate, and knows when I just need to be held. He likes to go antiquing and has ever so much patience with my milk glass addiction…and my camera lens addiction.

I love you, SuperGuy. You are the best. Best husband. Best friend. Best.

(Why are you looking at me like that??? I did NOT order a new lens! I swear!  :angel: )

Watch Out!

charlie in a box

We’re on the Island of Misfit Toys
Here we don’t want to stay
We want to travel with Santa Claus
In his magic sleigh!

Luckily, these misfit toys have found a home! My boys gave me these misfit toys from Build a Bear for Christmas!! :heart: I have no idea why they think I might be obsessed like all things Rudolph. I promise to give these misfit toys a good home. Um, mine. You know, ’cause there’s no way these adorable creatures are getting out of my sight!

BUT! Watch out!!

abominable snowmanThey also gave me this big old Abominable Snowman!!! 😯

Misfit toys from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

The misfit toys better be careful!

Abominable Snowman and misfit toysBecause it looks like the Abominable Snowman is HUNGRY!!! :nono:

The End.

As an aside…my boys get me the best. gifts. ever. :heart:

As another aside… I would SO have loved to be at Build a Bear with my Camera to watch them make the Abominable Snowman!
