This was supposed to be an easy, carefree weekend. One of those rare weekends where spontaneity is possible because plans were not made ahead of time. We could lounge on the couch, work on our hobbies, or even do a little shopping. And, no, I'm not referring to the necessary evil of grocery shopping, but the much more enjoyable version where you get to buy things that actually make you happy. Because the oldest boy needed some pants and the youngest could use a new pair of shoes, I decided to head into the city to do some shopping at Kohl's. Of course, my decision to shop there was not quite so altruistic. Mama needed a new bathing suit! So, I pack the kids up and head into the city. The youngest picks out his shoes . The oldest tries on a few pairs of jeans and ends up with two in the basket. Did I mention we have to shop in the men's department now? That he's wearing size 29? My baby is growing up! Then it was Mom's ...
I see that you've been having fun with your camera again. I like the b-ball pics and the new colorations to it. So Gage won again, awesome! How did KC do?? I also see he made a few good shots.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you later today.
Great photos.. love how you did the basketball ones. Is that photoshop? I really need to get that.
ReplyDeleteMeg > Yep, photoshop! I copied the entire photo onto a new layer, used a mask, and then desaturated everything. Using a black paintbrush, I created a mask allowing the colored original to show through. Very easy.
ReplyDeleteChrissy > KC did great. He scored five baskets or so. He's pretty fast on his feet, but still a bit of a klutz.
Gage took fourth place (they had medals for 1st - 4th at this tournament). He lost his first match, pinned the next two, and lost the fourth match. Overall, he did awesome. He's improved a lot.
Haha all that photoshop talk...sounds confusing to me.
ReplyDeleteI'd love photoshop though, I had Adobe but lost it somehow.
Yay! Tell the boys I am very proud of them!
