Meg and Peg

Little Meg lives with her papa and mama in a modest cottage by the sea. Sometimes she goes to the waterfront with her papa when he does his humble but respectable dealings. Sometimes she helps her mama with the wash in their little yard which overlooks the port. But little Meg knows she is destined to be one of THEM. The ones that sail in and out of the port. The ones her parents sheild her eyes from. The pirates...

A thief and a beggar, Peg wears the worn and weathered look of any respectable pirate.
I love Pirate Peg maybe the best and I know she isn't dressed as luxe as the others but that's exactly why. I don't think I ever mentioned it but I love peasants almost as much as pirates.

I know I know

I am still up and this is the chaos in which I function. For tomorrow. I mean, today... later at a decent hour :D

Counting the days

...till I take the kids to go visit my mumma( 2-ish weeks) and I can reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelax.

Funny thing though, the other day we were driving back home from somewhere, the kids and I were beat, it was warm, we were all hungry....that's not the point...the point is that Janis Joplin came on the radio and it was the song Summertime which I LOVE....so I upped the volume and said, oh oh I love this song ( I guess I never played it for them) They were laughing and wondering why she was yelling :D I said, guys she's a legend, she's great! They started to imitate her awesome "yelling".... it was a memory, they did a good Janis :)

The Captain's Widow

I'm not being lazy by just giving her a title, it's just that I think the title and that watery blue eye say a lot on their own.

Places on Hawthorne Ave.

Usually every week we'd go out for coffee in the morning and walk around and take photos, but these past few weeks other things have come up and I finally got out today to do just that.
Yeah it was with the kids now that school is out and it wasn't so relaxed, but still. I got summore posted flyers and I am happy about that.
These kids are going to bed TOO LATE! And I can't seem to find creative time at night anymore, it's more than irritating....I think I need to get them up at 5 am....I'm kinda crabby, sorry.
Anyway, enjoy these pics :)
