Thanksgiving has us thinking of circles — circles of love, circles of family, circles of friendship, circles of life . . . and now you’ve got The Lion King song blaring through your head. You’re welcome.
What Thanksgiving didn’t leave us with was a lot of spare time for blogging. Erin and her brood spent the better part of the week with her family only to drive back for two and a half hours to drop her girl child off at Ellen’s house for Jellybean’s (12) rockin’ sleepover. This sleepover went much smoother than some in the past and for that Ellen is grateful. With 14 girls there was the potential for much to go wrong.
So we’re thankful that Monday Listicles only required us to share 10 photos from our cell phones. THAT we can handle.
Ten Circles
1. Circling Above
2. Dupont Circle Studs
3. Circle of Passage
4. Sweet Circles
5. Circle of Ducks
6. Cucurbita Sundial
7. Circles of Relief
8. Circumference of Pie
9. Psychedelic Circles
10. Grammatically Questionable Circle
So in the end, we are thankful for being able to find the funny in every day. We are also grateful to Jessica Betke at Jesse’s Spot for making blogging fun and easy this week. We love ecards too and her funny Thanksgiving post made us giggle. Finally, this week and every week, we are also appreciative of Stasha for providing such a fun place to land every Monday.
Ha ha ha I am cracking up with the grammatically questionable one because I kept reading it at as bizarre and wondered why it was a bizarre donation. Excellent!!!

I want to know how it tasted! Ellen
Yay! I made exactly the same happy comment that it was easy. I really needed that with NaBloPoMo! Love your awesome circles!
Family came before blogging this week! Ellen
Haha the last one made me laugh. Like, out loud.
Also, individual pies is genius.

Our whole list was constructed to include that last one! 😉 Ellen
Love your pictures.
I want to go to the Smithsonian Museum!
Also – 14 girls for a sleep-over? You are a superhero! Or maybe just a little crazy – but either way you have my undivided admiration.

The Smithsonian is awesome and FREE — so you can pop in and out of all of the museums.
And you are too kind, but I will seriously accept those props. 🙂 Ellen
Some of your circles are making me hungry…except the last “bizarre” one 😉
Glad you had a good Thanksgiving and survived the sleepover! Brave woman you are!!

That last one was a little questionable . . . or some might say, bizarre. 🙂 Ellen
There are some very tasty-looking circles in your list! (Even the ‘bizarre’ last one!) So funny! 🙂

The little pies are the best, aren’t they? Ellen
Oddly enough, Depeche Mode’s You Spin Me Round (Like A Record, Baby) is what came into my head. Clearly my Disney radar is off today.
Love the circle idea! And seriously? their very own pie!!?

Now I have THAT song in my head! Lol! Ellen
What a great idea to make each child his/her own pie. My kids would LOVE that. Maybe I will suggest that to my mom for a gift idea!
I had to do a double-take on “bizarre donation” too–priceless!

Who wouldn’t want their own pie?? Erin’s kids are lucky! Ellen
#10 is my fave. Go creative girls!
Robbie recently posted..Name That Baby!
When Erin told me about it, my first question was, “You got a picture, RIGHT?” Ellen
Happy to hear it isn’t just me who’s still paying attention to spelling these days. 🙂 Great take on the list!

Oh no, we are right there with you! Ellen
I’m glad you survived the sleepover to post again 🙂
Great list – duct duct TAPE just made me bust out laughing!

I’m glad I survived too! And we have a lot of duct tape. Ellen
Now there was a post without circular logic. Well done & very cool!

Ha! Ellen
Such artistic photos you have on your phones! Love the little pies and the clock pumpkin. Tell me more about the coca cola cake. Good? Easy to make? Bizarre pies for the bazaar make me smile.

You can thank Instagram for my recent artistic streak. 🙂
And click on the link for the Coca Cola Cake. As far a scratch cakes go, it’s not too involved. It is the best chocolate cake and I make the icing all of the time (even if I use it on a cake made from a mix. Shhhh! Don’t tell.)
Ellen
I don’t know how you guys manage such an original take on the listicle every week! Lots of circles in DC!

I know about the circles. I wish I had known about this topic, I could have taken more! 🙂 Ellen
Great pictures! I love your take from it. and you are amazing to have a slumber party full of girls!

Thank you!
I’m thankful for your creativity and I absolutely love all the duct tape varieties we now have. Great photos!

We just got the mustache one! Ellen
I love the circle theme. Great shots!
Bee recently posted..10 Pics From My Phone
Cute idea! I love how you found your own topic for the photos – and there are so many great ones! (Not being a native speaker, what is the grammatical error on the cake post-it? Ah, no, wait, I got it!)

What an awesome take on this challenge! Sweet circles would be a semi circle once I chowed down!
Raya recently posted..Monday Listicle: Click!
You ladies never cease to amaze me with your creativity. For some reason I was very fond of the cupcake and pie pictures. I am now salivating. Awesome post as always.

Aloha and see ya next time!

I love those circles shots. What a concept! And you know, I didn’t know what was with the deal with the last photo until I read the first comment underneath. Hahaha,! Did you buy it?
Janice recently posted..Just 10 Photos?
Love it! Great way to handle that topic! I wanted to do the pics from my cell phone, but didn’t think the interwebs were ready to handle my children’s blurry images of our messy car! ;)-Ashley

I think a few of those made me dizzy…they are ALL beautiful. Especially the food ones. I’m positive it has nothing or everything to do with the fact that I am starving at the moment. I don’t suppose licking the screen while at the library is appropriate.

Circumference of pie – HA! I’m extra impressed that your pictures were all clever, aesthetically pleasing, AND had a theme; you gals never cease to amaze me. 🙂

I’d have bought the bizarre pie.

You spin me round round baby round round…. Love these. I could eat a few of these circles right now!
