Shadow Shot Sunday #1

I shot this sleeping flamingo back in May at the Providence Zoo. Sorry it is a repeat on the blog but I think it's pretty. Shadow Shot Sunday was recently spied by my eyes on Amy's blog Spitting Ink. Go visit her! Say hello! Amy is from Wisconsin like me but we haven't yet met. I am inspired by many of her posts and blogging finds. Thank you Amy! So, I think I'll tag along and give this shadow thing a whirl. Hope you like it! Curious? Check out more Shadow Shots here.

Great Finds

Have I ever mentioned that our Mr Hugo l-o-v-e-s his airplane swing? He says swing now and "peass" for please. Once in the swing all we hear out of him is "Weeeeeeeeeee!" and "Again!" or "More peassss!"

What a great buy I scored in this airplane swing. While in Providence I went shopping at the awesome Savers with my Mother-in-Law when Hugo was small. Much smaller, infant like. I found this swing, his slide, and a brand new rocking horse on that shopping day. I also run, not walk, to the back wall where the books are kept. Can't keep from grabbing up books to add to our collection. People in Providence read super books and donate them to Savers to share with families like ours. Nice.

Oh yes . . . we have reached a stage in life where removing our monkey, fire truck, or in today's case - rocket pajamas, is a tremendous tragedy. Hugo wore his rocket pajamas until late in the day when he woke from his nap. At that time I was able to bate him with swim trunks for the pool and we thankfully had happiness.
