Bonus Birthday Video

As a long weekend bonus, I put together some of the video I took of W playing with my Dad :)



I took the clips on my usual camera, then edited it in iMovie. I wasn't sure how long I could record for, so it's a little short. I do like the idea of putting more clips up though, so I'll look into it a little more.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Memorial Day Weekend

Since today is Memorial Day, there was no school, and I had a lovely three day weekend. Better news: four more days until I'm off for summer. So here's how the weekend went:

Friday
I have been looking and looking for the bunny pictures from before, but I think they just disappeared or something. So in lieu of bunnies, I found one bunny on Friday:


Sadly, this picture isn't nearly as good as the last one :(

Saturday
Saturday was my cousin W's second birthday party. The theme was Sesame Street (or, as W calls is, "Sunny Day"), which called for a fabulous Elmo cake:


W could barely keep his hands off of it while we waited for the cake to be cut:



Sunday
Sunday we hung out at home. The plan had been to go to State Street, but since it was 90ish degrees, we decided that staying inside was a better idea. It gave Jon some time to investigate the inside of his computer (it's been overheating recently). Taking it apart:


What I found interesting:


Computers nom too!

C-c-c-c-combo!

Tuesday
These little caterpillar guys are EVERYWHERE right now. They're kinda cute, in a weird, fuzzy sort of way.


At least, they are right now. Give it a few more days and I'll probably be creeped out by how many of them there are...

Wednesday
Perry the Platypus!


One of my favorite gifts ever, my sister B made him for me for Christmas last year. Of course, I had to name him Perry after Phineas and Ferb's pet. He makes sure evil stays away from my stuff while I'm out, and keeps nightmares away when I'm asleep :)

Thursday
Because nobody seems to know what real people look like anymore, I decided to be daring and try a completely makeup free, untouched picture today:


It feels weird, but kinda cool.

Weekend update

Saturday
Saturday I was home again for a bit, with the exciting news being these twigs sticking out of the bark on one side of our house:


Of course, they're not just any twigs- they're actually baby rose buses. For Father's Day/ his birthday last year, my sisters and I gave our dad some money to start a rose garden, something he had talked about but hadn't really started yet. This spring, we all picked out a few different varieties that we liked, and now we're waiting for flowers :)

Sunday
Sunday was lazy and relaxing, and the last semi-cool day before we got hit with this ridiculous heat wave. I got a picture of yet another construction site on campus:


Luckily, this one is on the other side of campus from where I live.

Monday
Monday I got some really cute pictures of some of the campus bunnies frolicking around, but now I can't seam to find them anywhere! I'm afraid I may have accidentally deleted them, but I'll keep looking in case I somehow saved them elsewhere and forgot about it.

Sooo behind...

3 novels and a book of short stories later, here are the rest of last week's picture:

Wednesday
During a break from massive amounts of reading on Wednesday, I hung out with the boys. They played computer games and I tried to snap out of my reading coma. Eventually, while aimlessly looking around in Netty's room, I discovered this!


A troll doll! I have yet to decide whether or not I think he's cute or creepy.

Thursday
Back to studying. Although I suspect that the boys were playing computer games again...


At least Jacey and I got stuff done.

Friday
Once again, hanging out in Netty's room with the boys. This time I discovered his lifesource:


Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's the same as Ben's...
