Birds in Odd Places - 98

Jacque found this bird on Planet Sub's wall here in Topeka.

Video Games! - 97

T.J. & the Exploding Thingy - 96

T.J. had this thing. I honestly don't know what it is actually called, but it was made of a rubbery plastic that made a coil onto itself and was filled with water and sparkles. Needless to say, this thing was rather slippery and tried always to get away from whomever was unfortunate enough to hold it. At some point earlier than when this picture was taken, it sprung a small leak. In an effort to stave off the leak, T.J. attempted to twist it closed... Well, it exploded all over him, so now he's covered in sparkles, but at least it was filled with water, so he dried fairly rapidly.

Micellaneous - 95

Broken computer... My computer at work decided it needed a new power supply and I had no choice but to comply.

Sunset...

& Jenn found a friend!

Jacque's Reading Time - 94

Landscape - 93

Moving Day! - 92

We helped Jenn move today!

Moving - 91

I was helping Jenn with some of her moving chores last night and realized I still hadn't taken my picture for the day, silly me. So here's one as I'm following Jenn through a roundabout to her new place. That's her grandmother's truck while her car pines away in Nebraska. Poor car, missing all the fun. ;)

Rainy Weather - 90

It simply poured this morning. I tried to get a good shot of the rain and sun, but it can be a trick when you're driving at the time. ;)

Reading Time - 89

T.J. and Jacque were laying in the popasan. Jacque was "reading" to T.J., while the boys were watching I Robot.

Habits - 88

It is great when they "demand" to work on a good habit. Every night Jacque demands that she has to brush her teeth.

En familia 87

... or something like that.

Magic & Affection 86

T.J. performed a magic show for us after dinner...

...with Robert and Jacque being all affectionate.

Demo, Demo, Where for art thou? 85

It's been a rather tiring day. I started the day with a walk and a few pictures.

These flowers were part of a bush that looked like it couldn't support anything this beautiful.

Then, in the final stretch before getting home from my walk this morning, a dog, which I'm assuming wasn't supposed to be out of his yard, attempted to bark his way into chasing me, but I let him know who's boss and so he followed me instead.

Next on the agenda was the demo for the SCA, where Spud found out why hay won a ribbon...

Not sure what Ceyle is discussing with Kato...

and Udatai drumming on K.C.'s dumbek...

Couldn't forget the kids :D

Last, but not least...

Kinda spooky, huh?

What the... ? 84

I have little clue what this is. I was leaving for work this morning and this was on my front left tire... My initial thought was a mud dauber or however that's spelled, but that's not an informed guess, just a flat out guess.

Nature Walk 83

Michael and I went out for a walk this morning to the park behind the house. Pushing through a bit of the overgrowth near the creek, I decided to take pictures of the water.

What's odd about this is the effect is not due to shadows on the water, but something in the water itself as you can see in the following picture.

Just above the brown branches in the above pic is where vagrants have camped in the past. Today we could safely say none were living there. I'm sure with the flooding in May (this is the creek that flooded), they've gone on to greener pastures for a bit.

WoF 82

We went to Worlds of Fun today. The kids had a blast, tho Robert was a little tentative about enjoying the rollercoasters. We did get him to ride on a couple tho. And guess what, no sunburns even tho it got over 90! Enjoy!
