Turn on your speakers!
So I thought I would change our blog a bit....and I love these two pictures. They are the perfect reminder of how long people have been documenting their lives through pictures and journals. I have always loved old things, anything to do with history(I hope hubby sees this and goes on a journey to find me an old typewriter I can display!). My mom has a picture album of her mom and dad when they were first married. It is the perfect piece of history ~ all black pages with some faded and torn black and white pictures. Some with photo corners and some without. It makes me want to go back in time.
Hubby and I both also love quotes. So I put a few on here that I like, and describe us. The new blog title, Take a Picture, comes from a song Hubby likes by Filter. I also like this song and I love Nickelback. When I get in the car with the kids to go out, I usually ask McQueen if he wants to listen to Country or Rock n Roll(because sometimes Hubby will leave in something like a Metallica or Led Zepplin cd). His usual response is Country, but every once in a while he will respond with Rock n Roll. So I will pop in one of Hubby's cd's, McQueen will rock out for about a minute, then ask for Country. I love it. Though I do enjoy a little ACDC or Guns n Roses once in while. Takes me back. Oh and Bon Jovi ~ can't forget him. =)
Anyway, I am in the process of setting up a little scrapbooking area in our basement. Must I add, FAAAREEEEZZING basement. I will have to get about 5 space heaters to keep myself warm. But, I think it will be fun and I am looking forward to finally documenting my children's lives and the most perfect wedding day ever of Hubby and I. He might not see me for all of 2008, but I will get caught up!

Fly Me To The Moon....

I guess Frank Sinatra had the right idea when he wrote this song, because that is what McQueen wants to do! The last month or so he has found a new fascination with space and all the planets. So for Christmas his Grampa and Auntie Laura found him 2 books on planets. I couldn't find a picture of the second book, which is called The Planets in Our Solar System.(The second picture is just one I found that I thought looked cool). Both this book and Voyage Through Space are fantastic books which I have found that I also love. I have learned A LOT from reading them! For instance, did you know there is a place called Eagle Nebula, which is a star nursery? It contains hydrogen, the raw material for making stars. This is where new stars are born. The Eagle Nebula is 7,000 light years away! I guess I am going back to my Space Camp days .......Kim, I never thought I would! Very interesting though, all there is to learn.
So McQueen says to me at least once a day while he is gazing at the sky, "Mommy, McQueen wants to go to space." "Mommy, where is Jupiter and Saturn? Where is Neptune? How big is the moon? McQueen walk on the moon Mommy?" I just think that at age 2-1/2 if he wants to know about space, I will find ways to teach him all I can! I just think it's great he's interested in these things already. He LOVES his new books and wants me to read them to him over and over. Thanks Grampa and Auntie!
