After we went to see Mr. Popper's Penguin's, stinking adorable by they way, this morning, we stopped at McDonald's for Happy Meals before heading home! When the kids were done eating they decided to make use out of their boxes and transformed them into helmets! Kyan's idea all of the way, Lola followed right in his footsteps! One looks quite scary, while the other shows a little too much food!
This summer they have played so good together (93% of the time) and it is so fun to watch their bond with one another!
Love them and love being home with them.
Now, onto the bigger pictures...
From what I have always know from people that have had larger pictures posted on their blogs is that they had to go onto a site like photobucket, they have to resize them there and then post them onto their blog from there. This was NOT a step I was willing to take, as I already feel like it takes enough time to just edit the pictures in Photoshop, then put them in collages in picnik.com (best site ever! You can even edit your pictures on the site if you don't have or want to mess with Photoshop and most of it is free, but I would recommend paying the $25/year to get all of its perks, sooooooooo worth it)!
Anywho, back to the bigger pictures on your blog! This is so easy and is all done through blogger now, wooohooooo! Really, it takes about one minute to change a few settings around and you will be off to bigger pictures (you just have to make sure that your blog is stretched and has the room to hold the larger images)!
First, you have to login to your blogger account. Then from your dashboard go to 'Settings', then under the 'Basics Tab' scroll down to the bottom where it says 'Global Settings'. Then where it says select post editor, click the 'Updated Editor' and then save settings. You are ready for your next post with larger pictures (it won't change pictures previously posted), the editor will look a little different when you upload the pictures and you where you could previously upload only five pictures, you can now upload an unlimited amount! Once you upload them, this is when you change the size, not prior to uploading like before. You have the option to make them small, medium, large, extra large, and the original size, you just click on the picture! Plus the 'Updated Editor' has other great features too!
Hope that helps and please let me know if you have questions about making those pictures of yours bigger!

Your kids are so cute! And did I already tell you that I love your blog header?!?! Love!
Just a note, I recently discovered there's an even easier way to create large pics on blogger. Attach your picture to your post, then right click on the picture. A line of options will pop up - then click on large or largest and you'll get the bigger pic you want.
Hope it helps, thanks for sharing at Serenity Now!
Mary-
You are so correct, but clicking on the picture only works if you have the new and improved, Updated Editor...something that I hadn't updated on my blog yet (think because I have been operating under the old one for so long, as my blog is about 4 years old)! Once you have it updated, you just click on the picture and your options appear to select the size you want!
Great tip! I feel like I need to take a class to figure out how to do all the things on my blog that I want to do.
YOur kids are adorable by the way, I would 93% of the time for getting along is superb! Mine are currently operating at around 77%. Definitely room for improvement.
