Photo Anxiety

My computer is angry with me. I have way too much stuff on it, and it is protesting. I had a 3 month old highly rated Lacie rugged hard drive go down a month ago, and have been stressing about backing up everything. I'm not sure how much I lost on that hard drive, but it's looking like I'm not getting it back. I took it on and they said it was a lost cause. Three months of pictures, and god knows what else. I am now happy all those facebookers push me to update photos. I at least have highlights of halloween, thanksgiving and Christmas.

So I had to take off a few gigs of 80 gigs pictures today on a computer that had 250mb of room. Not fun. It really fought me. I'm not going to go into tedious detail, but I'm glad it is done, and my stress is down.

Henry was cute and fun, which only adds to my space dilemma. Here's the highlights...

Happy Days Are Here Again!

Finally, we have our true Henry back! I was afraid the easy going kid was gone forever. A sick toddler is like having a 28 pound, mommy centric newborn. I'm glad he has his independence back.

Errr

What I like about this app:

It's ease and portability

What I don't like:

It crops the right side off of pictures. No bueno

Playtime

Henry is all boy when it comes to toys. Trains are the current obsession, as well as hot wheels, and pretty much anything mechanical. Batteries are fascinating. H is very big on getting new batteries for toys. He brought Mr. Potato Head to me the other day. He opened his back flap, and said "batteries!" I couldn't help but laugh. His other Toy Story-esk activity, is lining his trains next to each other and calling them "fwends". It started with Banjo and Gigi, and expanded to all inanimate objects. It never gets old.

She's crafty

We had a baby shower at for a fellow teacher today, so I whipped up some onsies. Speedy delivery Celeste, I can't wait to meet your little one!

I also made a H some giraffe hooks for his coats. I've been dying to make these, and finally buckled down and did it.

Hooray for crafting!

Spots!!!

We've got spots! Ugly little buggers, but praise the Lord, it means the end of Roseola has come. See ya! Not going to miss you!

He's one tough little dude!

My kid is awesome

We took Henry to the Santa Ana zoo. We have been quarentined for the last 2 weeks with illness, so we needed to get out.

Here's proof we were at the zoo.

The zoo was fun, but this isn't really about the zoo. It's about the kids at the zoo. I know that every parent thinks their kid is the greatest, but today the universe seemed to be handing all the cool points straight to Henry.

Here is exibit A:

This kid is in the playground at a zoo, I don't know, maybe you keep your shoes on? And he wasn't the only kid without shoes on! Secondly, the Luigi polyester hat left over from Halloween. I think it's time to put that away, and it is making your head all sweaty. Perhaps, that's why you feel the need to take your shoes off. But, the nuttiest part about this kid was his beard. Yep, beard. It's hard to see it in this picture, but it looked like he had black shoe polish smeared all over his face. Turns out his dad also had a beard, and if this was his way of copying his dad, it does make it a bit more acceptable. I mean, it is cute when a son imitates his father, but combined with the afor mentioned offenses just makes a trainwreck.

There was also the round faced kid with a massive buger climbing down his face. And the naughty kid that hid in the corner throwing sand at other kids and calling them snowballs. And finally, the girl with the with the long curly mullet, also without shoes, she was a pusher.

I know, it is not polite to make fun of others, but it was just too easy today. Henry was a little shiny beacon of perfection on the playground. When he refused to get on the merry-go-round, well, that was a different story.
