Chipped / Blown Away

Kerry . Tara

Kerry: Chipped - The playground where I took this picture still has sand instead of that squishy asphalt stuff they use now. At first I was like, hey cool, this place is old school. Then I realized that it smelled like poop. That squishy(ish) asphalt stuff might scrape up your knees pretty badly if you fall on it, but at least it doesn't smell bad.

Tara: Blown Away - My old dog, Lulu. [This is a backup picture. I am on vacation.]

Questionable Hiring Practices / Faceoff

Kerry . Tara

Kerry: - Questionable Hiring Practices - Talk about your dead-end jobs. (Click on the picture to see it close-up. Hint: it has to do with some kind of contradiction...)

Tara: Faceoff - Our new neighbors have two dogs that they just leave on their front porch. For the most part they seem to stay there. This is their puppy that snuck over to visit my son.

And yes my son is just wearing a onesie. It's summer so he hardly wears bottoms unless we're going somewhere.

Smart Fish / Feet

Kerry . Tara

Kerry: Smart Fish - I brought Brandon to Kailua Beach today and let him play in the shallow creek. There are always lots of little fish swimming around, but today I saw a small school of particularly tiny ones swimming around at the very edge of the water - it was maybe 1/4 - 1/2 an inch deep. I wondered why they were swimming in such shallow water when it occurred to me that the bigger fish couldn't get to them there.

Tara: Feet - I'm kind of obsessed with my son's feet. If I knew they would grow back, I would eat each and every one of those little toes. This picture is of my son relaxing with my husband.

You Can't See Me, I'm Not Here / I'm a Good Mother

Kerry . Tara

Kerry: You Can't See Me, I'm Not Here - A gecko hiding behind the bathroom mirror.

Tara: I'm a Good Mother - Like any good mother I gave my son his first temporary tattoo with a pen. Rock and Roll baby!

Pink Flowers / Sleeping Flamingo

Kerry . Tara

Kerry: Pink Flowers - This picture is in my flickr photostream, but nobody ever looks at it. I love it, though. I love how it's kind of misty and dreamlike. I took it at the Waimea Valley Audubon Center (aka Waimea Falls) in Haleiwa. [This is a backup entry. I am traveling and was unable to get to a computer to upload a picture today.]

Tara: Sleeping Flamingo - This is old. Sorry.

I took this when we visited the Birmingham Zoo.

CHEATING DAY : Goats/ King's Chariot

Kerry . Tara

Kerry: Goats - I took this picture on Saturday afternoon, at the petting zoo section of the Honolulu Zoo. (We didn't let Brandon touch anything.) I swear to you, we didn't plan this out in advance as a theme day (the theme being "cheating") - I was watching an extra one-year-old yesterday and didn't have time to take any pictures. I decided to post a picture from over the weekend instead, logged on to upload it, and saw that Tara did the same thing. More evidence that we are freakishly alike.

Tara: King's Chariot - Ok so I'm cheating. I didn't take this picture yesterday but this past weekend. I promise, after this no more Elvis related pictures from me. This is one of Elvis' Cadillacs that sits on the Graceland grounds. I added a blur effect just because.

P.S. Great minds think alike.
