Taking photos of kids is pretty hard. Especially when it is your own and especially when they are not too keen on listening to you and just want to do their own thing. BUT, you chose that moment in time to try to take their photo so you just snap away and do the best…
Flower Farming
When I was a little girl my maternal grandparents’ farm was a wildflower wonderland in the Spring. I loved our trips there during that time of the year because I could break out through the back gate and find myself in an enormous field, full of greens and blues and reds and whites and yellows….
Proof my kids play other things besides Angry Birds
This boy is my snuggly snuggle bug and the main reason we are in the market for a king-sized bed. He’s also a drink-stealer, president of the 4-W club (whine, whine, whine, whine), an all star dessert eater and an A #1 bathtub splasher. He still likes to be held and carried through the house,…
Behind door number one…
On the other side of that first door on the left there is a little girl, calling my name. She is waiting for me to rescue her and provide a snack and some neck kisses and sweet hugs. Not necessarily in that order. Her smile softens my heart on the daily and the sunshine in…
My Life on the Fridge
Sometimes I sit in the spot at our kitchen table, where I can see the side of the fridge really well. I try to keep the front of the fridge fairly clean, except for a grocery list writing pad and sometimes a few seasonal things the kids have made at school. Like these hearts. This…
My Kids Crack Me Up
The other night we were talking to The B Man about how we need to get him a new mattress. I won’t EVEN tell you how old the one he has been sleeping on happens to be thesameoneIsleptonasakid.He was all gung-ho about the idea and after I laid down on his bed I was all…
This Day
My heart parts felt a bit jumbled today. One minute they are shaken up while two kids fight over the front part of the Target cart. And both cry. And I negotiate the best I know how. We spend too much time touching every Lego box (well, Little G does anyway) and we are almost…
Three on the Fourth (again)
I cannot seem to take my monthly pic of my THREE on the third. The 4th seems to be our magic day. Although not sure anyone would call this *magic*. They like to play on my bed. And I had just a moment to capture them all before they split and were on to something…
Life is Messy
Her face is rarely clean. In order for it to be I would have to chase her around the house with a wet wipe or wash cloth. ALL. DAY. LONG. So instead I just take a lot of photos like this. But it’s okay because those baby blues seem to overshadow the messiness and she…
The A.M.
The day actually starts pretty lax around here but I attribute that to the fact that I currently have only one child in full-time school. I’m thinking next year might be a different story once G starts Kindergarten (ACK, G will start K next year!!) but I hope it can stay this way. The little…
