Slip-n-Sliding to the Chiropractor

Well, apparently my life is crazy during the school year, because I haven't posted since LAST JULY.   Hmm.   Laziness is abounding in many non-required areas in addition to blogging, such as dusting, car vacuuming, and book organizing.   As we speak, many books are organized in that they were pushed under the edge of my bed in the order I read them.  Soon, Matt will be able to lean over and pick a book that is peeking out from under his side, competing with his Cabela's catalogs.

Have no fear, because a new source of blog posts has come to light, as I found about 20 rolls of undeveloped camera film in the back of one of our junk drawers.   It would be admirable if I had found them from unprompted decluttering, but  I'm not that spontaneous, so they were actually a byproduct of a superfund cleanup of our kitchen in prep for renovation.  That's a post for another day...

At any rate, there were some real treasures in those rolls of film.  Most appear to be from late 2005/early 2006, including this charming vignette:

SETTING UP THE SLIP-N-SLIDE FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME

Aunt Jenny and Daddy hook up the hose.

Ethan takes the first slide, and Meg goes next...

Meghan is somewhat confused about how to go about this new activity.

Daddy decides to intervene assist. 

 Giving a little boost...

WHAABAM.

PULL BACK!! PULL BACK!!  TOO MUCH!!

Meg decides (miraculously!!) that This Is Fun.

It's a Slip-n-Slide Success Story!!
