Why I Haven't Been Blogging...

This little sweetheart is the daughter of our music teacher.  

I happened to have my camera at the last piano lesson of the year.  

I took a few shots as her mom held her up near the basement window's natural light.

Here's a little secret... the natural light?   It's where all the magic happens : )

I have been lost in the depths of Picnik and Flickr.

It's why I haven't been blogging.

Well, that and a few other things...

Did you ever watch the TLC's show Clean Sweep?

I loved it and wished on many occasions to be the recipient of one of their makeovers.

Well my wish came true.

Thanks to a very pragmatic and "bossy" friend.

Bossy in this context means "lovely and helpful."

It was a kitchen "clean sweep" doozy.

My girlfriend could have had a career as a professional organizer.

It's why I haven't been blogging.

I'm afraid you'll have to wait for the wonderful before and after's next week.

I'm still tweaking : )

And just for a little extra fun...

Middlest somehow managed to coerce me into saying "Yes" to a year end school party.

A party with seven, eleven year old girls.

A party that was supposed to be outside... assuming the weather would cooperate.

It didn't.

But they had a blast anyway... once they came inside.

Do you think it was OK that I confiscated their iPods?...

and forced them to play charades?

I think I've looked after any one of my kids asking to have a party ever again.

It was a little crowded, since we've lost the use of our basement.

Did I mention we no longer have a basement?

Would you like to see a picture of our basement?

I thought you might.
And surprise surprise, I just happen to have one for you.

It is a big cavernous bunker, with holes punched through the cement.

Can't you see the possibilities?

The Agronomist has been jack hammering for three weekends straight.

We decided to move e.v.e.r.y. thing around.

Just for fun... because The Agronomist loves to Jack Hammer. 

Ha.

Not really.

But he's really good at it.

And just so you know.

I haven't mastered taking pictures of Jack Hammerers.

It hasn't come up much.

So as you can see, life has sped up here at The Bungalow.

And that's OK by me.

I look forward to some more clean sweeping, summer picture taking, photoshop learning 

and basement renovating.

Life in the fast lane.

Over and out from the Bungalow!
