Insomnia can be fun...sometimes.

I don't sleep that well. Generally I have at least 2 nights of no sleep a week. It's not too horrible, I play games, mess with my camera, catch up on writing. Some time's I have 4 or 5 nights of no sleep in a week, those are the less fun. In my mass insomnia you'd think my house would be spotless and uber organized. Far from it. When I can't sleep I can't clean. I do things that I can do on autopilot. Playing video games, writing another chapter in my story, taking odd pictures. Those things required no active thoughts from me and I can run on zombie mode so to speak. I just slip on my ipod drown my world in music and go for it. These are some of my latest insomnia pictures.



This one was back when Ciela stayed the night and we played with water droplets and food coloring.



I love lights, and the color blue and was trying something I read about in Pop Photo.



Pria got one of those pin art things...I was amused far too much with it.



Just because I can't take a normal picture of myself ;)

They are fun moments for me...when I can be stupid and silly and no one gets to see, unless Chris wakes up in the middle of the night :D

Spookables

Figured now was a good time to post some Halloween pictures of Pria. She had a really fun time at the ward party and going trick or treating with her buddies Ryan and Jack in the rich neighborhood. It was freezing cold so her costume ended up being perfect for her.



She was really good about not being too scraed at the trunk or treat....at least for the most part.


Not sure about who this is, but Pria loved to dance with her.

FLICKRRRRRR.....

I have new pictures up on Flickr (for those of you that go there...) and hope to have some of little waterbender up tonight after our trunk or treat. www.flickr.com

Fun times with a munchkin

We go to the Zoo alot. It's right by our apartment, one stop down on the Max...and it's the perfect amusement for Pria (with some nice walking for us) We went to the Mandrill's pen the other day and the monkeys were very interactive. Pria walked up to the glass and they just started freaking out. They were lunging and stomping the ground in front of her. Then we picked her up and the big boss monkey ran over and took an interest in her. He would stomp and bow his head, so we had her bow back. Then all the other monkeys started bowing at her. They were all following whatever she did, so we had her run back and forth in front of the cage. They ran back and forth chasing her...still bowing and stomping as they ran. After a little bit, all the monkeys kept their heads down in front of her, so we had concluded that Pria is the new leader of the Madrill.

We also have Cougars at the zoo now. It took them a bit to be comfortable and actually walk around their pen. They have growled at Chris(don't blame them)and watched Pria intently we she's off by herself. But this last visit they were different. They were biting the glass. You could actually hear their teeth grinding against the the window in their den. We couldn't get Pria to touch the glass where they were biting, and she was sufficiently scared of them after that. But it was cool to see.
