Build a planeā€¦sure?

prettyboyblueEver since I made my son a cape he is under the impression that his father and I can make him anything he wants.

An airplane with wings that he can fly in, sure why not? What’s that son? Oh, pretend to fly in.

Then he adds on that it need to have buttons and levers and flames.

Me: Flames?

My boy: not REAL flames, just pretend.

Oh, okay…with my painting ability fake ones don’t seem that much easier.

The funny part is that he keeps adding to the list but he always makes sure to tell you what order he wants it all in.

I am thinking the day is fast approaching that my son is going to see that his parents have limitations!

Like when he asks for a functioning airplane to fly to Minnesota…

Maybe by then we could just buy him one?

Before&After Cowboy

He is such a cute little man! bigeyedcowboy2In the first picture I liked it but wanted his eyes to stand out. So I cropped it slightly to make sure he was the focus of the picture. Then I lightened it, boosted the contrast and sharpened it a little bit to get the eyes to pop.

I did all of this on a free photo editing software called The Gimp. It is not as user friendly as Photoshop but it is FREE! Also it is open source so it is constantly being improved.

My favorite part is that it is free.

Because I am a cheapskate.
