Apple woke up on Saturday and decided that he was finally ready to be a big boy (seriously, in the last month, he has argued with me that he wants to be a baby still). But something clicked with him and he potty trained just like that. I was worried that he was just having…
End of the year @ school
So much happens during the last couple of weeks of school! We have been super busy doing lots of fun things. On Friday, each of my kids at the Elementary School had class activities going on in the afternoon, and by some miracle, I was able to make ALL of them. Reese had a little…
More choices?!?
I’m being too picky, and torturing my children by continuing to try to capture the perfect picture. After 3 tries, I’ve decided it is impossible. Next time, I’m calling on Andrea or Melissa to come help me. So here are two more options for the Father’s Day picture. Oh, and for the record, I took…
Band, a dance, and Brownies
These videos may not be as cute as some of the baby videos I’ve seen lately….but I had to share some live shots of the kids. The first video is one I caught of Apple dancing to some silly music in the morning. And as an added bonus, you can hear Taco whining! The 2nd…
5 Little Monkeys
It’s killing me how difficult it was to get a few group shot of my kids. The lesson: kids behave much better for a photographer who’s not also the Mommy. Apple would not sit still, Reese could hardly be convinced to be near Taco (or heaven forbid…touch him!), and Kiwi didn’t have much patience for…
Happy Mother’s Day!
I wasn’t sure what to expect from Mother’s Day this year, considering I was flying solo this weekend. I knew that the girls were scheming yesterday (“Don’t come down here, Mom!”) and I knew that Peanut Butter had bought me a gift before he left. Unfortunately, he had left it in his truck, and it…
Necco’s got talent!
Necco performed at the Elementary school’s annual talent show tonight. She did fabulous singing Just Wave Hello by Charlotte Church. We were all shocked when she said she’d like to sing at the talent show this year–all by herself! What courage! She was a little timid when she got up onto the stage tonight, but…
Flowers, twix, pineapple, and a plumber
Wondering what those four things have in common? That’s what CandyMan gave me for our anniversary yesterday. Yep, April 28th was our 13th anniversary. Wow, do I feel old! It has been a fun, exciting 13 years, and I’m grateful to be married to such an amazing person. Our wedding day–April 28, 1995 Before you…
DC Cherry Blossoms
Call me crazy….I took the kids to DC again today. We thought it was a great idea to check out the annual Cherry Blossom festival on their day off school. Unfortunately, the “14%” chance of rain turned into a very wet, cold day. We rode the metro down to the city, and then walked from…
What’s behind a good family picture…..
I love the interaction that we caught between the kids here. It all started with a pinch between Twizzler and KitKat….Then it escalated…. Can’t you feel the love? Finally! Happy family. :)
