The W Family: Foggy Family Session

Well, it's the first day of October today and it's absolutely beautiful outside. With the way that the weather goes up here I'm feeling like we are going to really pay for this nice day. It's about 70 outside, a little windy but it's warm enough that it doesn't really matter. The leaves are amazing, but since the wind is blowing I know they won't last long. Getting many things done on a day like this is almost impossible because my littles will not stop begging me to go outside. It's awesome! Anyway, since it's the first of a new month I decided that I would start doing my Unknown Tid-bits and Worthless Knowledge posts again. So keep your eyes on my Facebook page (HERE) and here at the blog for all the random goodness!

I loved working with this family. These girls were so cute that I could have just taken pictures of them all day. We were a little worried about the weather but personally I love how the fog looked.

A little side note: if you are in the area and wanted Fall Colors in your photo shoot, I would schedule to have it done ASAP!

Unknown Tid-Bits: 3/4-3/10

So earlier today we piled the whole family into the mini van to go town to get bags for the vacuum cleaner. We ended up driving an extra hour and a half to Two Harbors. Why? I'm not really sure. We went grocery shopping but it wasn't a very well thought out action. We ended up not getting home until about 3:45 all of us a little crabby because we sat in the car for that long for no real good reason.
Luckily it was a beautiful day so it was a very nice drive.

Unknown Tid-Bits:
-My favorite author is James Patterson. Now if only I had time to read:(
-My sophomore year I played Patty Simcox in our high school production of "Grease" I also was ;Moth' in "Midsummer Nights Dream"
-I know how to drive a stick shift!
-Both my grandmother and my dad don't have middle names. (at least not that I know of)
-I love broccoli
-My husband is my bestest best friend:)

Useless Knowledge:
-A cockroach can live several weeks with its head cut off.          I don't know if I've posted this bit of knowledge before but I still can't really believe it. It just doesn't seem possible that a living thing could live for that long with such a major part of its existence cut off. Amazing!
-A hippo can open its mouth wide enough to fit a 4 foot tall child inside.          This is a disturbing image to me...am I alone in that?
-A male emperor moth can smell a female emperor moth up  to 7 miles away.          Sometimes I think men are like this.
-A whale's penis is called a dork.          I don't know which is more strange the fact that a whales penis has a name or the fact that I already knew this bit. LOL Gotta love juvenile humor :)
-Camel's milk does not curdle.          Why? This is really interesting to me. Every other kind of milk curdles doesn't it? Why not camel's? That's cool!

Unknown Tid-Bits: 2/26-3/3

One of my brides is on Pinterest and I have to admit I was so excited to hear it. It's a great way for me to get to know her style and for her to get to know mine. I highly recommend Pinterest for so many reasons! I've gotten 2 awesome recipes off there and plan on trying out some more. I have a board for that :)
This is where you can find me   http://www.pinterest.com/falonphoto/   Come pin with me!!!

Unknown Tid-Bits:
-If I had the money I would totally get a 'Mommy Job'
-I would absolutely love to adopt a child from here in the States!
-I don't wear make-up because I don't know how to put it on.
-I hate Dora the Explorer. I love the idea behind the show but I absolutely can't stand the fact that they are yelling thru the hole thing! Unfortunately for me all three of my kids love it.
-Whenever I eat any sort of Asian food I use chopsticks. Is that strange?
-At one point in my life I really wanted to study to be a Wiccan. It's fascinating to me but I don't have nearly enough time to dedicate.
-I played the flute in band from 5th-12th grade. Have to admit that I miss it.

Useless Knowledge
-Honeybees have hair on their eyes.          This is something that for the life of me I can't figure out why in the world would they need to have hair on their eyes?
-The average bank teller loses about $250 every year.          Now you can't tell me that someone that works at a bank doesn't use this piece of information to their advantage.
-Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing.          This explains a lot about why old men look the way they do.
-America's first nudist organization was founded in 1929, by 3 men.          LOL Why does this not really surprise me :)
-Almost a quarter of the land area of Los Angeles is taken up by automobiles.          I honestly thought that it would be more.

Unknown Tid-Bits: 2/19-2/25

My husband dripped the insides of the chicken pot pie he made last night on the inside of the oven. I turned it on to make dinner tonight and now not only does my kitchen smell like nasty burning nastiness there is this ominous gray haze in the air. I don't think that smell ever really leaves a room once it's there. Bummer!

Unknown Tid-Bits:
-I am extremely scared of spiders. ISH!!! Just the thought of them makes my skin crawl *shiver*
-I have a shoe obsession. Boots and heals are my favorite. Unfortunately I don't really know how to walk in heals, so I keep buying them because I love them and don't wear them :(
-I am the worst speller on the planet! So I'm apologizing right now for my future (and past) spelling mistakes :)
-I'm very mean spirited...LOL yeah right. Not at all actually. I have a tendency to let people push me around.
-Tonight I straightened my hair for the first time in over 3 years!!! Long doesn't even begin to describe it!
-I have never filed my own taxes, it was always my mom and now my husband. Am I ashamed to say that? Absolutely not! I wouldn't know the first thing to do so I consider myself lucky that my husband does.
-We consider pizza a food group in our house :)

Useless Knowledge
-A 10-gallon hat barely holds 6 pints          Why would someone know this? And what do you think they measured it with; water? milk? My guess is beer :)
-Every time you lick a stamp, you're consuming 1/10 of a calorie.          I bet it won't take long for someone to pick up on this and come up with a calorie free stamp...wait they already did. Aren't all stamps stickers now?
-Spotted skunks do handstands before they spray.          lol I'm going to keep my comment about this to myself on this one lol
-Some ribbon worms will eat themselves if they can't find any food.          "Gee I can't find any food I guess I'll just have to eat myself." I don't know what would be worse starvation or bleeding to death.
-Some toothpaste's contain antifreeze.          I should use that excuse at the dentist the next time I go.

Unknown Tid-Bits: 2/11-2/17

Every week as I'm doing the Useless Knowledge there are things that I can't help that go through my mind. Now I don't know why you would care what I think about all this stuff but I figure if you're reading this in the first place you must kind of care so I'm going to add my random thoughts to each useless piece of knowledge.




Unknown Tid-Bits:
-I was a cutter for many years.
-I am currently cross-stitching Alivia's (one of my twins) Christmas stocking. I love love love to cross-stitch!!!

Useless Knowledge:
-A "jiffy" is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second.
          So the next time someone tells you that they will be there in a 'jiffy' you can say "No you won't" :)
-All porcupines float in water.
           I can't even float in water so this is pretty impressive to me
-The international telephone dialing code for Antarctica is 672.
           This would be handy to know if you knew anyone in Antarctica or if there were phone in Antarctica
-The electric chair was invented by a dentist.
           This doesn't make me feel any better about going to the dentist.
-The glue on Israeli postage stamps is certified kosher.
            LOL I just find this really funny. It makes sense that it would be, but that doesn't beg the question WHY?
