Black and White

We were showing my neighbor some pictures of the children at the beach from our vacation.  She looked at one and said, "you need to frame that one in black and white."  And I realized she was right. 

She has lots of pictures of her children all over her house and they are all very fun to look at.  Some are in color and some are in black and white.  She has a good sense of what would make sense to be in black and white. 

I sent the picture to my husband and he's going to get it printed up. 

The Big Boy Update:  Afraid of Monsters, Inc.  I was surprised to find that he understands some things are scary.  We put on Monsters, Inc. in the car on the way to vacation and he asked during one of the more scary parts, "turn it off.  Turn it off."  We turned it off and will wait until next year.  The thing is, there are Monsters, Inc. characters on so many of his underpants and pull-ups, and we were hoping he would connect with the show like he did, "Movie Cars."  (Known to the rest of us as just "Cars").

The Tiny Girl Chronicles:  Sweaty head.  Her hair is so fine that when she sweats, it looks like she's got a head of dirty hair.  It makes me want it to be bath time.

Fitness Update:  I ran!  Yes, I didn't expect to be running but I ran and I wasn't in pain.  I've been doing exercises at the fitness room for shin splints and it has hopefully been helpful.  We shall see.

Someone Once Said:  Of all the nonsense that twists the world, the concept of ‘altruism’ is the worst. People do what they want to, every time. If it pains them to make a choice—if the choice looks like a ‘sacrifice’—you can be sure that it is no nobler than the discomfort caused by greediness…the necessity of deciding between two things you want when you can’t have both.
