The Peanut Gallery...Exit Here

Mom n' Me Monday was created in an attempt to make myself get in the picture with my kiddos. When my kids are grown, I don't want to look through my photos only to find that I am not in any of them! So, I'm on a mission to "capture" these memories.
****************************************************************************

We spent this weekend on our "de-forestation" project.

Yes, we live in the woods.

By woods I mean, 100's of pine trees and their offspring.

We are trying to "thin out" areas so that the trees that remain can grow strong and healthy.

And that's all I'm gonna say about that.

D-man, with his own two hands, created a great diversion for the kids.

What could be better than a swing, and a launching pad?

The boys have spent hours swinging.

So, I thought I'd join them for a bit.

I feel I should add a small disclaimer on my choice of outfit.

I know it's AandW Rootbeer meets "sporty Susie".

It's why I used a 70's action on all these photos.

Otherwise, the sheer clashing of colors might have sent you on your merry way.

I truly AM concerned about the safety of my children.

TRULY, I AM!

Why, yes, since you asked, that IS a bleach stain my pants.

Is there a problem?

S-girls first try on the flying machine.

Her evil mother insisted.

Poor thing.

I feel bad, I really do.

Did I mention there is a foam pit below??

And at the urging of my offspring and  my cheeky husband.

Against my better judgement.

I took the leap of faith...

And rode like the wind.

Due to the size of the branch(or the lack thereof) the rope is tied to,

I am officially making this my first and last ride on the "swing of death".

I choose to remain safely on the ground.

Until my next lapse of judgment, that is.

And, just because I can't help myself.

Do you ever get that feeling like "you're not alone" even when no one is in plain sight?

Well, I had that feeling this evening.

Sure enough, upon further investigation,

I found I WAS NOT ALONE.

This little blood sucking beast had taken up residence on my head.

And that really "ticks" me off!

Yes, I give you permission to cringe at that last play on words.

It is late, and I need sleep.

THE END.

I promise.
