So Much Fun

Thursday, July 29, 2010

I did a session for my neighbor's nephew this week and had so much fun. We went to the Farmer's Market. I haven't done a session there before and I loved it. It was fun to be stretched and be creative and I think we all had fun despite the heat. I barely noticed it.




This is Tyler. He's two.



I love my job.

DIY

Monday, July 26, 2010

Kevin and Amanda had a post a few weeks ago that I came across today that got me really excited. I had just the frame to use for it so, I made my own! I broke the glass in one of my favorite frames last winter and was waiting to get a new pane re-cut for it. Now I won't have to bother!
I'm hoping that this will help to move me further away from Frumpy Mommy and that it will remind me to put on dangly earrings for a fun pick-me-up while carpooling this school year. Maybe I'll be wearing them with my pajamas, but who cares, right?!
The kids and I went to Fuzzy's house to use his vast amount of handy man supplies, though I'm sure you can do this at home if you have wire and cutters already. Amanda used a staple gun, since I had a drill and screw driver available, I used those. A few bloody finger pricks and a crying impatient baby later and I was finished. Voila!



I curled the aluminum wire so it wouldn't prick any more fingers. The braided and twisted wire works to poke stud earrings through too. Very handy dandy.

Did anyone else notice the clouds yesterday? They were beautiful!

Momma's Little Helper(s)

Thursday, July 22, 2010

I had one very enthusiastic blonde come ask me if she could clean my windows this morning. I gave her the supplies and she hired out for help. They took turns with the spray and wiping. My windows are only smungingly clean on the bottom half, but I had so much fun watching them. It was worth the money I paid them for sure.

This also might be a good time to reevaluate the blonde's need for a slip.

Photo Walls

Wednesday, July 21, 2010

One of the blogs I follow had a post I liked a couple of days ago. I find that sometimes it's difficult to be creative until you see something as an example. I have a few pictures walls in my home and am of course, adding to them as an ongoing project. I hate replacing the old pictures of my little ones as I like to look back, so I figure I will just put more in next to them and my house will be a large montage once I'm 50. Here's a link to the post, and a few of my own examples.

What's in there Clayton? He crawled over to see.




We do have a ball around here.

Trouble

Thursday, July 15, 2010

Scooter has been getting into all sorts of trouble lately. He's definitely found his new Scooting wings and likes to exercise them all over the house. He doesn't want to be held for long and no longer enjoys any contraption like an exersaucer, he just wants to be free on the floor to roam and explore as he pleases. Oh boy!

Snooze Button

I feel like I need to hit the snooze button on this summer. It's already the end of July and I'm starting to schedule things for the fall, even booking sessions into September. Where did it go and why does it have to be so hot? Thank goodness this summer I'm not pregnant, and we're not moving, that's all I have to say!
We've hit the heat and I think the troops are getting restless. Me included. It's too hot to play outside, go to the park, the zoo, and even run errands (though that doesn't stop me). We have now hit our stride in flipping between movies and artwork at the kitchen table; which also allows Clayton to crawl all over the floor. This is the only thing he's interested in these days and he's getting much faster. Scooting also allows him to pick up said beads, googley eyes and play doh balls from the floor and gag on them, which has created other unspeakable messes.
Oh dear. I do not want to wish these days away, as I know someday I will miss them. I run into so many older mother's who see my little ones, comment on the fact that I have my hands full and then reminisce about how days like mine were the best days of their lives. I certainly hope not, but I understand the sentiment. Anyone else feel this way?
I personally like them best these days when they look like this.
Trigg has started to routinely wake up crying during the night. A few nights ago he asked me for my shirt (which is also Daddy's). I reluctantly gave it to him and he quickly tucked it under his head and I later found him like this.

Cousins

Saturday, July 10, 2010

Mary and Ben are here visiting before Ben deploys again in October and we got to have fun with them and play last night and today. The kids had a blast and love their big cousins. It was so wonderful to have them visit. We only wish they lived closer!

Rainy Days

Friday, July 9, 2010

It's been a bit rainy around here lately. Which hasn't been much of a bother, except for the 4th of July. The rain has come with cooler weather and we'll take it. Since we've been cooped inside and I've been working, the kids have been fairly good about entertaining themselves and each other.

I just think this picture is funny. I feel like he's propped up on his chubby legs and it almost looks like he has a diaper wedgie. I love him.

They were actually quite sweet. Lucy told Trigg she'd read him a story and she was picking one out of her favorite book.

He got bored with it but she kept going, as is her habit. She keeps going and going and going and going...

On the 4th, Scott and I sat outside and Lucy wanted to come out too while the boys were napping. She loved playing in the rain.

Crash and Burn

This is what happens when you just go go go.


We had a 2 pm Dr's appointment for Clayton today that threw naps off and the kids went down late.  I went to get Trigg at 4 and found this.  He had been playing in his room just seconds before.  I guess sometimes, when you're just that tired, you sleep where you are, pants or no pants.
