Three Musketeers

I uploaded some pics from our trip to Vegas here. Today we went to David's company picnic. It was a little crazy and definitely some fun people watching. It was really hard for me and my nosey self to stay on track and focus on the kids and conversations with people. I thought it was cool that 2 of the guys that David works with pulled out their blackberries (cell phones) to show me pictures. One showed me his new dog and the other his grandson. Amazing how some men can really open up to strangers. It was neat to talk to them and meet some of his co-workers. I have met quite a few and they seem to remember me but I am terrible with remembering faces and names. Every time I meet them (or see them again) I just say nice to meet you and they just smile and say oh we've met before. Oops! It's not like at his previous job...I would just show up and visit with everyone and they loved seeing the kids. I've never even been to this office, except in the parking lot. Anyway, it was nice to go and support the company but I'm also kind of happy that in a couple years Andrew will be in school all day and I just might not be able to go. Sorry, David!!!!!
The kids had fun. They got to see police cars and eat lots of candy. They played on the playground for a little while at the end but mostly we just hung out and talked and they just ran around and played with the stress balls that they won by spinning a wheel. I think they could have just spun the wheel most of the day and that would have been fine with them.

Andrew had school this morning before we left and he did really good on his work that she sent home. Next week if he does all of his work he gets to go to the treasure chest. He seems to like going. He doesn't cry when I leave, in fact I don't think he even cares. He just walks off and finds his friends. Today he actually cried when we left b/c he wanted to go home with Carlie. There is something about that little girl that he just loves. Here is a pic of Andrew with his arm around Carlie and the next one is of Andrew, Carlie, and Bella.

Do the pictures look like poor quality pics??? They look really terrible on my computer when I upload them to my blog...any suggestions? They look fine in the folder where I download them from my computer. I've noticed this with the last few pictures I have put on here.

  1. Hello, thanks for signing on to follow my blog. I really appreciate your support! I hope you find inspiration on each visit. I'm a third grade teacher and always love to hear that little ones enjoy their first years of school!

  2. Told you Andrew would do well in school! He reminds me of you in the way he approaches change, with dread and forboding, and then realizes it isn't near as first thought!
    Yes, I think a new camera is in order. Or should already be on order! LOL Pics weren't as clear as should have been and video was almost on all pixels.
    Might try to set it on night scenes and see if those pics/videos turn out right. Sometimes auto just doesn't get it right.
    Love, Papa Rick
