This guy has taken up residence between a bush and the garage.

I'm pretty sure Max thinks he's a pet. I'm calling him Halloween decoration.

Apparently when you tell the grocery store that the cake is for a double

birthday party for 2 and 5 year olds, they feel compelled to use double the frosting.

Admittedly, I didn't even take this photo, and it's a picture of a print, but I also

from elementary school got married, and had a photobooth at the reception...

this 100% guaranteed candid shot makes me smile every time I see it.

Watching my sister and her girls play dress up reminds me of our own

childhood doing just the same thing...
