Rick and I got new Droid phones recently and we have been having some fun with all the cool apps that are available for the phones. One of the fun things we’ve been playing with is the Camera FX app which does some neat things with your photos. Very cool and artsy!

This is the “Polaroid” effect:

This is one that Vaughan took of me…well, sort of…

This one had a red filter and a vingette applied:

This one is the green filter:

Lots of fun! I love the funky results and I love giving the phone to Vaughan to see what he comes up with on his own!

The weather on St. Patrick’s Day was absolutely beautiful! The kids and I hung out in the backyard for almost three hours just enjoying the sun and fresh air. We even ate lunch outside! Here are a few pictures…

We really do have the best kitties ever. How many cats have you met that are actually good with children? It’s not that the cats just tolerate the children…they actually play with them. It’s amazing! Here’s Keo keeping Rheya entertained this morning.

I just can’t resist taking pictures when the kids are in such cute little matching outfits. Of course, it has become nearly impossible to get a picture of them together since Rheya has discovered that she can just walk where ever she wants.  Mostly I just got some cute individual pictures and lots of blurry pictures!

Ok, maybe “mad sewing skillz” isn’t an appropriate description, but I am pretty proud of myself for making this cute little tote bag. In addition to following the pattern, I also added a lining and some interior pockets…one of which has a zipper. Many firsts for me and my sewing machine!

And Vaughan has already discovered that all those pockets are great for storing dinosaurs.

We got a few dress-up items for the kids to play with. These are some fun little hats that Vaughan has been having a great time with.

I’m not sure what that crazy face is all about though…
