(Future) King to Bishop 4


Today was not just any ordinary day, at least not for Britian's Royal family. Upon watching the fairy tale wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, it was hard not to gawk and stare at some of the hats that were worn to the ceremony.


Such as some of London's socialites...




or Princess Beatrices' interesting and tacky (IMHO) hat....



As the ceremony came to a close, the Prince and Princess walked down the isle and out of Westminster Abbey to greet their loyal subjects. Justin just happened to catch a glimpse of the recessional and he turns to me and asks, "who's the guy with the gold hat?" I replied, "that's the Bishop." He said "Oh, then where is the knight and the rook?"



Well, I guess it makes sense for a 10 year old to think of chess when he hears the title "Bishop". Especially since Kings, Queens and Knights were all in attendance.


Queen Elizabeth II



Sir Elton John



King and Queen of Norway

Look Mom!

"Look, Mom! I can put on 120 Silly Bandz at once! Aren't you proud?"

"Of course! I'm always proud of everything you accomplish!"
....as *silly* (and strange) as they may be!







".....children bloom like spring flowers under praise. They want so much to be noticed and appreciated, to excel and have that excellence noticed.” -Earl Nightingale

Thinking On Your Feet

To be able to think on your feet, you must be able to put your best foot forward. And for Jman, that also means to have your feet on the ground. For he does not have feet of clay, since he is always at someone's feet. And for me, the day started out on the wrong foot and ended on the right foot after Jman caught me flat-footed and had me on my feet laughing. I'm sure one day he will sweep a girl off her feet with his innate comic ability!





(These were taken with my 2.0 megapixel camera phone-no flash. Since I didn't have my regular digital camera with me, I too had to think on my feet to capture this moment! While at Kohls, and after a brief second of being distracted, I turned around and he was trying to measure both feet at the same time! OH, did he have me in stitches!! The first picture I took came out blurry and after noticing my attempt to capture the moment, he wanted to pose for it.)

Thanks to http://idioms.yourdictionary.com/foot --although, I'm not sure all those put together make sense!
