Self Portrait


Here is a photo that LightGirl took of herself yesterday. She says a friend taught her how to take photos like this. I'm not sure what she means by that. But it's a good pic.

More Hockey

This past weekend held hockey and more hockey. Two outdoor games on the coldest weekend of the year thus far. The first was held at a snooty country club in Maryland. The weather was cold but sparkling and beautiful. It truly was a perfect day for a game. The ice was hard and slick. It made all the moms slightly jealous and wish they could skate for a bit too.

The second game couldn't have been held in a more different venue. An old outdoor rink that reminded me of the rink they built in Barre when I was a teenager. It was state of the art back then. "Back then" being the key to that phrase. It was in the 20's when we got there and we were protected from any sunshine that might have helped us out.

However, the old, scarred plexiglas created a unique lighting effect for LightHusband to take his photos. Here is our personal favorite from the weekend. See if you know why.

Going Buggy

In the car the following conversation ensued:

LightBoy, "Anybody else see great big bugs?"

Me, "No."

LightGirl, "I think you've been spending too much time playing Alien vs. Predator"

Me, "You're definitely banned from the computer."

LightHusband, "Hey I thought that happened last night."

LightBoy, "It did, but Mom said I could be on the computer before lunch."

LightBoy, "Oh .... those weren't bugs. They were dust particles on my glasses."

Me, "You're still banned from the computer."

Presenting ...


... our next hockey player ...

I Never Thought ...

... I'd hear these words come out of my mouth:

"LightBoy! All wars must be fought outside or in the basement."

"Or in my room?"

"Or in your room! You may not fight wars in the house on the first floor. It's making me crazy."

I may now add Battle Zone Management to my resume.

Dreams

LightGirl got her "glove" and "blocker" last night. These are the funny looking gloves that goalies wear to protect their hands from blazing pucks.

She's been waiting for them for three weeks.

She wore them from her bedroom to the livingarea in her pjs and a huge grin this morning.
