Here They Come! #2

Busy boys: good natured Levi and playful Treyson

Some pictures of kiddos not at the craft table

And some Picasa editing experiments

In the past I noticed that when I made an edit in Picasa

then retrieved it for my blog

the edit didn't come into the blog

Uh huh

So I asked. . . . .

 My photography class teacher

pointed out that the edit notes

stay in Picasa

unless I save the photo

OUTSIDE of Picasa

Easy for him to say!

Oh no.....now it's getting complicated.....for me.

I did grasp

that one of my save choices

was to save the edited photo

to my desktop

Uh-h-h-h-h.....not a very good long term storage choice

but at least I can find it there

(Someone feel free to email me

with clues about how to

create, use and FIND

a file where I can save edited photos!)

Kissy cheek Sterling

So each of these photos got some treatment

got saved to my desktop

and the editing stayed with the photo

as I plunked it in here

Daddy Brinton and sweet Sterling

Worked out some red eye

cropped in closer

Sugar plum Daisylyn

Sorry......nothing I can do to unblur my bad focus

Tis hard to catch her in a still shot

Did my write-on-a-photo experiment here

She zipped out my front door at one point during the evening

Yikes......I zoomed out and found her on my driveway
Lock that door!

Dress up alley

Our boys are into this

as much or more as our girls

Camera Confessions

 For fun, I offered my camera to Taylee and Rylee 

during the evening of a grandkid "Late Over"

"Here. . . .take some pictures of the kids while I help the little ones" I said

And so they did

Look what happened when some thought grandma was not watching:

Couch leaping!

You kids are so busted . . . .

Your payback?

I think you owe me a load of your trick or treat chocolate!



Taylee and Rylee asked me at the end of the evening

"Did you know you have a drawing feature on your camera?"

Not really

Later, when I checked my pictures

I found this altered version of Levi . . . . .yikes!

Here they come! #1

This was the "stillest" shot of the night . . .

the one where I got the most kiddos into one picture

Calling all grandkids!

To use my daughters' term

we had a "late over" instead of a sleep over on Friday night

I invited all the local grandkids over

so their parents could have a night out

Open for Grandma time from 7pm to midnight!

12 chickadees showed up

That is a crazy grandma decision

Like a spilled bottle of mercury

they were everywhere!
