Having teenagers is hard. They're great kids, but still... This blog is all about them and what they're doing and all about me trying to be the parent of two teenagers.

Looking at the Sky on Friday - 39
I’m so glad there’s a meme like Looking at the Sky on Friday, because it means all the time I spend looking at the sky, and taking pictures of it, has a purpose! Click the badge for more info. I’m shocked that I haven’t participated in Loo...
Heads or Tails – Show ‘N Tell
The theme/prompt for THIS week, December 22, is: TAILS - "Show 'N Tell" Remember playing Show 'N Tell back in school? This is pretty much the same. Post something you want to "show" and then "tell" about it. Here’s something I’ve been m...
Camera Critters (#89)
Weasley loves everybody, but I think he’s decided that he’s Jeffrey’s kitty. He’ll hang out on Cory’s bed, and he’ll curl up on my lap, but when Jeffrey comes home he wants to be with him. Even if Jeffrey is busy, Weasley st...
Camera Critters (#88)
Cory got a big box of t-shirts delivered this week. Apparently, if you buy 60 black t-shirts, you also get a white cat. Tillie just can’t resist a box! I think this stare is her way of telling Weasley that it’s her box, and she wants him...

Camera Critters (#87)
The kitties get a break this week. Let’s go back to the zoo and see the giraffe this time. (and, so I remember and can find the pics easier next time – we went to the zoo on September 13th) Camera Critters is a fun weekend ...

Camera Critters (#86)
Beth brought new kitty Teddy up to visit for Thanksgiving. Actually he’s supposed to be Tana’s kitty, but Beth keeps threatening to keep him if Tana doesn’t take care of him by feeding him and taking care of the litter box. I said Teddy cou...
Peter Pan Pics
I finally got pictures from Peter Pan uploaded to Facebook. You can see them here.I took a bunch of video, too, but I haven't had a chance to look at it or upload it or anything.I think Cory was an awesome Captain Hook! (and not just because I'm h...
Heads or Tails - Soft
The theme/prompt for THIS week, November 24, is: HEADS - "Soft" This is pretty easy, because we have the softest cat in the world living here. Everyone who touches her remarks on how soft she is, and it really is hard to walk past ...
Camera Critters (#85)
I caught Weasley watching TV on Thursday. Good Morning America was showing just a little about the huge cruise ship they were planning to show the next day. Wow is that ship huge! Did you see any of the GMA story on Friday? W...

Camera Critters (#84)
I was just thinking that I really don’t have time for Camera Critters this weekend, what with being at the school all the time for the musical. Then I realized there’s at least one critter in the musical, and I have been taking pictures a...

Camera Critters (#83)
Time for some pics of our resident critters, Tillie and Weasley – the cutest kitties in the house, maybe the whole world. Tillie still isn’t too sure about this interloper. And Weasley just wants to be close. Camera Cri...
Camera Critters (#82)
Last month Cory had to work at an event at the zoo, so Jeffrey and I spent a few hours walking around and visiting the animals. That means I ought to have Camera Critters posts for months! Especially since I have to post pictures of our...

Camera Critters (#81)
It’s hard to resist this little face: It’s our little Weasley kitty! He’s such a little sweetie. He’s also a very persistent beggar who thinks we should share anything we have to eat or drink, and he doesn’t take No f...
Heads or Tails – Stop or Go
The theme/prompt for THIS week, October 20, is: HEADS - "Stop" *OR* TAILS - "Go" Make any kind of post using any form of either word. You can even use both. While in Illinois, we went hiking at Starved Rock...
Camera Critters (#80)
I can’t believe I missed two weeks of Camera Critters! I have a good excuse, though. We were out of town, keeping really busy, and didn’t have regular Internet access. So this little guy had to wait for his Camera Critters deb...

Tillie has competition. She will no longer get to be my Camera Critter choice practically every week. Now we have another adorable little critter living in our house. His name is Weasley. He’s only been here si...
Camera Critters (#75)
I took Tillie out the other morning, and she had fun exploring. I was surprised she actually went out into the grass. Usually she tries to avoid it. This time was especially surprising because the grass was still wet from the dew....

How He's Grown!
I always used to take pictures of the kids on their first day of school. Middle School started and that tradition somehow got lost in the shuffle of rushing out the door to catch the bus. But since yesterday was Cory's first day of his last year of...
Camera Critters (#73)
Cory took these pictures of Tillie and said I should use them for Camera Critters. Tillie was out on the deck begging to come in. Instead of letter her in, Cory grabbed the camera and took pictures of her. Poor cat. She’s ...

Do You Have Home Contents Insurance?
We just got our home owners insurance renewal, and it lists everything that's covered. There's a certain amount of coverage for the actual house, and then there's another amount for the contents of the home. I'm not sure how that's figured. I mean...
Camera Critters (#71)
We went to the State Fair last Sunday. When we’re at the fair, we really enjoy the horse pulls. The horses are gorgeous, and it’s so much fun to watch them. Usually we watch the heavyweight division on the last day of the fair, but this year...
