Writer's Block

I swear I haven't disappeared. I'm having a serious case of writer's block lately. Well, it's actually more like editor's block. It feels like I've written a bazillion posts lately, but never posted them because I didn't really feel happy with them. When I'm not trying to write a post, I have a lot of what seem like clever ideas... which all fly right out of my head the second I sit down to write them.

I do have one in the works that I'll post soon that should be fun for all. Or at least there may be a little something in it for you... ;) Until then, enjoy some pictures of a birthday party we went to last weekend for my Kumquat's friend, Sassy.

Please try to overlook my sobbing child ruining the group shot and causing the birthday girl some concern! Believe it or not, this was the best group shot I took. :)

My girl is such a funny mix of bold and cautious. She is not keen on brand new situations. She really prefers to sit back and figure it all out before she's required to engage in any way. It's true even if some of her best buddies are there.

That makes birthday parties a little tricky. She was really not at all interested in leaving my side for most of the time...

until we went in to have cake and she ran laps around the room while the bigger kids sat at the table and ate.

Unfortunately, it means that this mama didn't have much time for picture taking. Good thing the birthday girl's mama is quite the experienced photo pro!
