June 11, 2013 – Suddenly they all died. The end.

It’s another beautiful day here in Central Iowa! We’re still dealing with some flooding, but at least the rain has stopped coming every darn day. Unfortunately, that happened a little too late for a lot of people, some of my family among them. I’ve been adding pictures to my Flood of 2013 Pinterest board – the water levels are just amazing. Even now that the constant rain has stopped, more or less, the rivers and creeks are still awfully high. A lot of fields still have standing water in them.

But that’s not what this post is about. My brain is currently being pulled in three different directions, so today’s post is going to be light and pretty. That’s right, it’s another photo post! After all, who doesn’t love pictures?

“What? Haven’t you ever seen a guy eat cake before?”

A little bit of sunshine on a cloudy day. 🙂

No, it’s not blood. Someone had fun with the ketchup while Mommy’s back was turned.

And Cricket’s frown got turned upside down…literally! 🙂

Gotta love silly father-daughter pictures. She makes the best faces. 🙂

I don’t know why my face is in focus and Thumper’s face isn’t, but it’s still super cute.

So that’s a brief look at what we’ve been up to lately – eating cake, playing in ketchup, and making faces (and writing like mad when I can find a few minutes of silence). This weekend we leave for our first camping trip of the season and I’m looking forward to family togetherness and more camera fun. And my Tomcat will be returning from two weeks with his dad, which will make it extra special. So if I’m even more absent than normal in the coming days, zat’s why, my lovelies. I promise to return with pictures a-plenty and perhaps even a fish tale or two!
