10 on Tuesday: Snapshot Edition

For a long time I got caught up on always taking a correct photograph, even just of my kids, hanging around the house or whatever. Thankfully, over time, I’ve gotten over it. I actually take a ton of snapshots. I shoot a ton and while a lot of them land in a file called "proof once my children are older, out of the house and I’m bored in my empty nest", I do proof some and print some, but I barely ever share them so I thought it would be fun to share a few on a 10 on Tuesday post…

1. Little T, swinging at the park this morning. No more baby swings, she’s all about that big kid swing. […]

when squash attacks

I usually just rinse him off after lunch, but the squash attacked and he needed a quick bath. He was so funny, he tried to dive over to the other side and attack a few dishes from lunch 🙂

you guys are rocking the comments for 10 on Tuesday!! I’m so excited so many people came out of lurkdom to comment!! I’m loving all the advice on cloth diapering and put the bug in Jason’s ear about it. I must also say it totally makes me giggle to hear my mother-in-law talk about my husband’s baby hiney!! Yeah, if you didn’t read the comments to the post below before, I bet you’ll click on it now! HAHA! Seriously though, thanks for all the great ideas and advice (please keep them coming!). All these new comments and lurkers coming out of hiding makes me wonder who has been with us the longest here on the blog. Does anyone remember my […]

1. Went to visit the school this morning for Taryn, went good. Clean, well organized, great teachers, very positive experience. Taryn did ok. She was shy, wanted me to hold her and hid behind me a few times, but she did ask the teacher if she could see the potty. She was thrilled they had no only one, but two! And each came with a step stool, something else she was worried about. She was fine while we were there but got quite upset on the way home saying she didn’t want me to leave her there alone. So hard. We can do this right? I’ll try and focus on getting her a new backpack, a new lunch box and […]

the most wonderful time of the year

It’s that time of year again…..this is my all time favorite! Ty and I took off for the afternoon to hit the mall and shop for school clothes. We totally took advantage of the tax free weekend and all the back to school sales. I was bound and determined to make it as painless as possible because Ty is in that awkward age where friends and clothes are becoming very important. While we don’t always agree on clothing choices, I was careful to let him choose his clothing (within reason) and purchase things he was comfortable in and he thought were ‘cool’. I even smiled when he chose a hoodie with a skull on it. And anyone who knows me […]

gosh I love him Must take more photos of him this month, he’s getting ready to take off soon, crawling is just around the corner. He already scoots all over the place and has been really close to getting those knees up. My days of a captive subject are limited….sigh
