#23 popcorn turkey
This morning I made popcorn turkeys for the kid to take to school today. It only took 24 bags of microwave popcorn. I got the idea from one charming party. Which leads me to

#16 Belts
Last week the kids tested for their yellow belts. PJ and Ben both
moved on to yellow belt and Matt and Ella both got a yellow stripe
on their white belts. Plus they all got to break a board, it was
a little board but still really neat to see them do.

#15 Photoshop
I have had photoshop elements on my mac for about six months or so but I rarely us it. However yeasterday I found a great site called Paint the moon that sells actions and has some free actions too. Actions are editing tool that pretty much do all the work for you. I edited this picture of Penny in about 8 mins. Really it was that fast. I think it took an Okay picture of Penny standing in grammy Junes fort lawn and turned it into something that a photographer would have in their portfolio(if I was a pro I would put it in mine).

Incase you were wondering he got those sweet moves from me.

Thankful #8 thru #13
It's been a really busy week so heres #8 thru #13
#8 BIRTHDAYS!
Today is PJ's 9th birthday. I love the kids birthdays, most of you know why.
#9 PARTIES!
PJ had quite a party today. It took me all week to clean the house and decorate. If you can't tell he had a Transformer Birthday. Every kid got a autobot or decpticon t-shirt to wear during the party and take home (I thought 9 year old might be to big for goodie bags).
Energon cubes a.k.a. jello / table 1 of 2 loaded with goodies
silly straws / baby decepticons, funny it looks a lot like Penelope
PJ & Matt in the t-shirts I made.
