Once upon a time there was a brother and a sister who were at home all by themselves one weekend.  They were sad because they missed out on going to a tournament with the rest of the family.  But they decided to make the best of things.  So they played games, watched a few movies, went shopping, and all sorts of other fun things.

One day the brother and sister were stuck inside the house because it was freezing cold and raining outside.  The sister noticed some beautiful window lighting coming in her front window.  So she took action.

The little brother was an exceptionally handsome young man.

He had a cute smile too.

They decided that self-timers are very nice tools to put on cameras.

Then the little brother decided to try his hand at the picture-taking himself.

The end.

We’re almost there!  After we got home from our weekend away, I came home to a mess:

That wasn’t so happy.  But I eventually unburied my room and felt much better after doing so.

We had a girls’ night out at the movies and went to see Sherlock Holmes.  If I were really good with words like my sister, I could write this amazing movie review.  But unfortunately I’m not all that great at writing…so I’ll just say that I liked the movie.  Anyways, I thought this chair looked like it had come out of the movie.   And that’s about where all the meaning behind this picture ends :-D .

I’ve seen lots of pictures like this one before, but I had never really tried all that hard to take one.  But then I found this article and felt inspired to try some of the shots in it, and this one seemed like the easiest one to begin with.  I actually had to set it up in our bathroom since that was the only place in the house that I could get completely dark in the middle of the day :-D .

And with that, I think I’ve adequately caught up with my blogging needs for a while.  Hopefully my next absense won’t be as long.
