The least you could have done was to hold up a Victoria's Secret catalogue or something...

Man...I sure killed this thread *hangs head in guilt and shame*
I cut my hair though! lookit!
New color too...

*end desperate attempt at reviving thread I feel guilty of killing*

Aliantha · 09-01-2007, 04:02 AM

YOu didn't kill it

BTW, your hair is about the same colour as mine is now.

Razzmatazz13 · 09-01-2007, 04:57 AM

Well, in that case, you have beauuuutiful hair...

Aliantha · 09-01-2007, 04:59 AM

Why thankyou m'am!

Shawnee123 · 09-01-2007, 12:39 PM

LOVE the color!

Elspode · 09-02-2007, 12:33 PM

Hubba hubba.

Less than two hours ago. (I'm reflected in the front window of the bus.)

The kids climbing the steps are my Kindergartener and 3rd grader.

I was thinking how modern that one looked! Our Schools got new ones last year....and they look exactly like the old ones. When we first moved here they were a surprise -school buses were something only seen in movies and suddenly they're everywhere.

No bus pic for us this year -youngest just started first grade. Now I'm home alone all day for the first day (yesterday i wen to the school anyway and ended up staying out all day shopping) -the world is not safe......

(here's our new bus collecting our new kindergartner this time last year)

They (the buses) are all so clean and shiny now. Just wait until February, with the salt and sand and dirty clumps of frozen slush hanging underneath.

monster · 09-05-2007, 08:37 AM

Oh yeah -ours picks them up on a dirt road. Once the potholes appear, we don't see the yellow for mud......

...of course by then it's picking them up in the dark, so we don't see the mud either.....

Seeing pictures of kids on the buses reminds of this weekend. SonofV and his cousin-in-crime wanted to go to the local skate park. I said yes, and since they had their own way there this time, that was the last I heard of it. They were going to call me when they were done for a ride home (approx 1.5 miles). While they were there, I thought, hmm, this would be a good time to go get some candid shots of the two of them. There are plenteous pictures of the both of them, but not so many truly candid ones where they're oblivious to the camera. Plus, I would have the chance at action shots, having fun shots, no parents shots. A real photo-op for a camera-happy parent.

Then I stopped cold.

I imagined what I would look like trying to get "candid" shots of little boys. The words "Bad Idea" rang loudly in my head. The more inconspicuous I tried to be the creepier I would look. I don't have some honkin football sideline gazillion millimeter zoom lens, just a point and shoot.

I could have just brazened it out, stood right at the bowl's edge and snapped away, and that would have been a different kind of embarrassing, mostly for my kid. But the hope for a truly candid shot was pretty much out.

When I see these pictures of kids loading onto the bus, I **know** they were taken by proud parents. But just as I don't know all the parents standing around also taking pictures, they don't all know me. And that worries some people. I have actually been shooed away from taking pictures of my kid on the playground. What a world.
