Everyday life--weekend (and last) edition


Promise. 
Last installation of everyday photos from my week-in-our-life photo project. 
Brrrr. It was cold around here.  The good news, the silver lining? 
Fireplace fire time.  Mmmm...cozy.

Clockwise from top left:  1.we hosted all the youth from church (I'm the new Young Women's president) to come watch General Conference on our makeshift "big screen" (=white sheet and a borrowed projector) for the traditional "pizza conference" Saturday morning session.  2. the chess board came out for a duel to the deathmatch between the two boys of the family.  3.  Maddy in her football-game-watching get-up on Friday night.  Note the earrings crafted from black-and-white striped paper clips.  4. I love me a good fire  5.  sausage, eggs, and the New York Times on Sunday morning  6. Greg and son, battling it out chess-style (Sam won)

I love the picture of the chess game with the fire going in the background. Looks so warm and inviting.

Oh I am so sad it is the last of your photo projects. We were enjoying them. Tim plays chess too and has one of those electronic sets so he can play himself! We girls are not into chess at all! We love Maddy's earrings and that fire looks very cosy. We could do with it here as the weather has turned really cold all of a sudden and we had frost last night.

Not sure why, but I can't see the photos for some reason? I'm going to come back later and try. It's probably my stupid computer. GRR!!

I can't see the photos either. Maybe Christie and I are cursed?

That's bizarre! I can still see them but, clearly, with two of you having trouble, there's an issue. I'll think hard and apologize. Hmmmmm... Sorry!

I was on the chess team in jr high...that's right, I'm a geek.

Great photos.
