I don’t have it in me to do 10 today. It was a rough day for the kids. I feel like they chewed me up and spit me out. I think they read the blog yesterday about all that goodness and decided to rise up and revolt. Yeah, probably not. I think it’s just way to freakin’ hot and we’re all cranky.

So, here is my one on Tuesday. He’ll wear anything on his head these days, everything is a hat. And when he wears a hat, he also sports his evil laugh. Not sure why, but the two go hand in hand.

Tomorrow is a new day.

Today was filled with goodness. Good little details that make up life. A simple day, with good moments. I love days like this. I am thankful for them.

We woke up to Teagan talking to himself, happy little babble. So cute. I love the sounds coming through the monitor. The children actually napped. Not at the same time, but they both got sleep, I cannot complain about that. I had an amazing meeting with some people who could have a huge and awesome impact on my business. My mind is full with ideas and opportunity. Opportunity is such a great thing. I am thankful for wonderful clients who continue to share themselves with me, long after their portraits have been delivered. […]

I had big plans of taking the kids into Birds for haircuts but today turned into a lazy day instead. We all sat around in our jammies all day, ty built big forts out of sheets for the little kids in the living room and we were just lazy. It was really, really nice. I also managed to pick up my camera a bit, it’s been too long, I missed it. Just one of Teagan for now.

The kid is fast. He runs everywhere. Belly first. Love it.

1. For weeks I have been doubting our decision to keep Taryn in school over the summer. I worried we are pushing her too hard. I worried we are stealing her summer break from her. I worried it would be tiresome for the boys going back and forth so much to drop off / pick up. I honestly longed for the freedom of not packing lunches or adding school stuff to my calendar or packing backpacks. But after one week off and only 2 full days at home with both the boys, it’s crystal clear, we made the right decision. Without a doubt. She needs something of her own this summer. Something away from the boys and she loves school. […]

i mentioned in 10 on tuesday this morning that we are trying to transition teagan to one nap a day. it went well over the long weekend. but. there were a lot of people home = more distractions. there were parties and a loud brother and even louder sister to help him forget it was time to nap. this morning, well, it’s just me and him with the big kids in school and daddy back at work. it started pretty innocent. he grabs his favorite binky, and then his blankie and spreads it out on the floor…

but as soon as he did that, i knew what was coming next. it is […]

1. We had a great Memorial Day weekend filled with great friends and food and several parties and long walks and longer naps (even for me!) and tired kiddos. Perfect way to start the summer.

2. Teagan has mastered the art of the evil laugh. Cutest.Thing.Ever. I’ve got to get it on video.

3. You know what this equals?
