yes, I am THAT GIRL.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that I love the opportunity to match scrapbook supplies to outfits/photo shoots. Not all the time, but once in a while I do. Example? We all wore red, white, or blue to the county fair and our group shots were so cute… and nobody quite knew why but me. [...]

I wish this was me…

345am, and awake. Have been since 130. Will be for rest of day.
It’s not insomnia, it’s motherhood. I have a mystery (tummy) sick miss E. Mystery is why… I’ll probably never know but I can stay up with her as she watches movies and feels bad and I can try to make it less bad [...]

Elizabeth got her ears pierced yesterday, after a full week or more of begging. She was super good about it really- She understood there would be a earring, you know, PIERCING her ear. She’s totally showing off her sparkly lobes now. To anyone who comes close.

and here is miss Rebecca about 3 minutes ago.

I like [...]

pirates of rhode island.

yeah, she said she’s wearing her ‘pirates of rhode island’ shirt that daddy bought her a few weeks ago. (skulls) She told me what it’s called- and I know the reason. Pirates live on islands. We’re going to Rhode Island next month. So, she figures that there must be pirates on that ‘island’. Man I [...]

teeth

I have been waiting for the wee nubbins to be big enough to photograph…

First tooth photograph on record! This little cutie is keeping me way busy day (and night) with her tooth drama, but that’s ok. it’s all a part of the baby lifestyle that I’m soaking up and loving. I have a complete loss [...]

wonka.

Watching TV this evening a promo came on for Charlie and the chocolate factory (new one- plus the original too). Elizabeth, apparently, was watching very seriously and paying attention. After it ended she turned to me and said:
“mommy? Mommy we need to go there. I would really like to see that factory. Yes, I would [...]

question:

I was complaining that there are too many wildcats in the NCAA basketball tournament. Elizabeth reminded me though, “we like wild cats. Like in High School Musical, right mommy?” 

Yes E, we will root for some wildcats I guess. Question- does it make me less of a grown-up if I am a H.S.M. fan? if so, good. I wouldn’t want [...]

yum.

spring break is going good. Just ask Rebecca. She grabbed an onion ring right off daddy’s plate!
 
Don’t worry. No babies were harmed in the taking of this photo. The onion ring was taken away before she could get any hunks off of it. Miss Rebecca knows what the “money” food is for sure. I’m just glad I [...]

bex

Rebecca, becca, bex, becca bear, bear… she has many names. I totally forgot about this moment until I just uploaded.  

dude. Elizabeth put daddy’s hat on her head and I guess I was standing there with the camera. This just so tickles my funny bone. NO idea what colors/how I’ll scrap it. Just one of those [...]

good (girl) things…

Have you ever been in the toy section and thought “I wish I had that as a kid! I want to play with that!”
This is something that happens to me on a fairly regular basis. I don’t think I’ll ever really ‘grow up’. I think I’ll always enjoy creative and imaginative play. I hope I [...]
