Wizard Rock

I took the kids to an outdoor Rock Concert at Wheeler Farm Monday night. The band played "Wizard Rock", songs all about the books, Harry Potter. We all had a great time!


It took the kids a minute to warm up to the music.




But then Mason and Maya really started movin' and groovin'.

Reece and I enjoyed watching them dance while enjoying the music.

Shades

I just love this picture. My sister-in-law Julianna bought Maya these glasses last time she was out here visiting. When I saw them, I remembered that my little brother Cameron had glasses really similar, and as you can see, they are similar.

Eureka!

We took a "Butt Trip" to the ghost town Eureka. A "butt trip" is defined as, Butt Trip: A journey or voyage made by car, bus or van between a home and an unremarkable landmark or destination. Trips
may include travel to see a giant radio antena, cabins that have fallen in on themselves, and most recently to a ghost town called
Eureka, which isn't a ghost town after all. The purpose of a butt trip is to convince your children that they like to stay home and
be 'bored', thus they will stop complaining about their boredom.

So, we stopped at a gas station and asked where the Ghost Town Eureka was. The lady at the counter got very defensive and replied that Eureka is not a ghost town at all. It is a booming city of about 200 residents, they had great abandoned buildings, all a great backdrop for photographs. I will post a few of the pictures, we went mid afternoon, and the lighting was very harsh, and the kids didn't quite see my "vision". Basically, they didn't want mom to take more pictures of them.

Watch out little brothers!

All you boys with big sisters know you have pictures like this too!

Welcome

Welcome to our blog! This is one of my favorite self portraits, I can call it a self portrait because, 1. I took the picture and 2. those are my legs! But, of course, my favorite part about the picture are the 3 adorable kids. Reece 6 yrs, Maya 3 yrs. and Mason 1 yr.

The name of the blog is Whimsical Concoctions, basically because I concoct most things up in my head on a whim.
