Foto Friday--Braceless Ben and Upcoming Events

Disclaimer: Getting a picture of a teenage boy NOT being crazy is impossible if they don't have football pads on.

Here's Ben a few weeks ago, just before he got his braces removed:
Here he is tonight, in response to my request that he show his teeth:
This next picture was the best of 47 shots.  It didn't help that his two little brothers were right behind me, laughing and encouraging his antics.
And, as a final shot, here's a tribute to Halloween this weekend.  I don't think he needs a costume with this face.
Even if he's slightly crazy, at least his teeth are straight, right?

On a completely unrelated note, next Thursday is my blogiversary--two years in the blogosphere, baby.  And, as a token of my appreciation to you, my dear blogging buddies, I will host a giveaway or two, interspersed with a few of my favorite posts.  

Happy Halloween, everyone, and see you Monday for the celebration!

  2. All the effort of the braces and he plays football?
    Those faces are a hoot - boys can make sounds and faces that no girl ever could.

  5. His teeth look great! The funny/scary faces are such fun!

    JDaniel hates mushrooms in his yard. We collect as soon as he finds them and take them to the woods.

  10. What gorgeous choppers! It's a great day when those braces come off - I can remember feeling like I had no teeth after feeling those bands for 2 years. (I'm sure they've improved a lot since I had mine...)
    Happy almost anniversary, and I'll look forward to Monday!

  11. I haven't been on for the past week, so I went through and read your last 4 posts. That picture of the hand coming out of the water is exactly how I've been feeling lately. I keep mumbling to myself that I'm drowning, just give me a hand. I love your plan. I might have to sit down and try that out myself. Love the pictures. Love crazy kids, I have a few myself.
