Double Fives

Double Fives is this game that a good friend of mine from high school gave to Al and me one year for Christmas and then we in turn made one for my parents. It has a board that you put pegs in and you use 2 packs of Rook cards to try and get five pegs in a row twice. Emily and Carter are just getting old enough to play on their own. And Casey just likes to put pegs in and pull them out.

It had been awhile since we'd visited my folks so on Sunday, we went over for a supper of beef stroganoff (yummy!!) and games. Double Fives takes and even number of players, so we all played the first game and then Carter wanted to watch Star Wars The Clone Wars so I sat out too and took pictures.


The boys won one game and the girls won one game. Next time we'll have to have a rubber off!!
Here's my new haircut; it's shorter than it looks.


My dad and Emily "smoochin'"

We are having a photo contest at the library right now and one of the entries was a close up of two faces in black and white, so I thought I'd try some. But, alas, I liked the color better!
Do you have any poses you really like for people?? It's been too cold, or I've been too lazy to shoot pictures outside, but I still want to practice and try new things. Actually, I've been missing my camera. So give me some new ideas, if you have any and I'll try 'em out!!

Happy Tuesday all!
