Boy outfit #11

Hen's growing and summer is almost over so we're breaking out the fall clothing. Bean is into skateboards right now so I, in an incredibly clever mothering moment <insert pat on back here>, spent about fifteen minutes one evening convincing Henry to try on his new "skateboarding" pants. And it worked. Hee hee. I'm excited to learn I still have some manipulative tools in my parenting kit. I have to pick up another pair of shoes (or two) and a second coat (I'm leaning towards this one or maybe this one or perhaps this one or this one - okay so boy clothing options don't totally suck all the time) but for now, he's got enough clothes to carry him for a while. Did I mention the retro Smurf shirt? Anyway, the whole point of this entry is to highlight a current favorite. I caught a pic of Hen being a slug in his new clothes the day of our ill-fated blackberry picking attempt.

For you photography folks thinking, "Dang, Christie, that picture be DARK," here's a look at the original picture:This, my friends, illustrates the power of shooting in RAW.

Also, I like corn but I am even more compelled to buy it when the marketing is good. Bodacious sweet corn rocks regular sweet corn every day of the week and on Sunday. And those threatening clouds, they busted open the heavens shortly after this shot was taken.
