Through The Lens Thursday: Books

We went to St. Louis this past weekend, and while I was at Bloggy Boot Camp, my kids, husband, and mom went to the City Museum and other fun stuff. While they were there, they got to pick out a souvenir, and the girls both chose crystal growing kits.

I, being […]

Project 365: Week 14

If you’re looking for #iPPP, it’s still happening. Just not here for a couple of weeks. I need a break, yo. So head on over to Angela YBlood’s or Angela A’s places and link up there!

March 30

Erv’s 3rd birthday party.

March 31

Last day of March. And the day Erv sang “carrots […]

Through the Lens Thursday: Self

I had planned to take a picture of myself yesterday, when I had my hair done and makeup on. We were going to celebrate my niece’s birthday, so I had visions of setting up the camera and using the remote to get a few captures of me getting ready to […]

April Fools #ippp

The eight year old has been talking about April Fool’s Day all week. He’s been plotting, planning, and reading up on it.

Specifically, from April Fool’s Day From the Black Lagoon*.

He asked me last night if they could have muffins for breakfast, so he could stick Lego guys (that he didn’t like […]

Project 365: Week 13

I’m glad this week is over. The end.

March 23

I cried on Sunday morning when I finished the Book Thief. Then I cried some more thinking about Erv’s birthday the next day and the week to come.

March 24

Erv’s third birthday! And for “I” week, the preschooler brought the first grader in […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Looking Down

We’re knee deep in big changes around here.

Namely, big boy beds and potty training.

When I took down the crib this morning, there was a huge tantrum with crying and yelling (from both of us). A lot of it stemmed from the fact that there was a bedtime battle about climbing […]

Birth and Death Together #iPPP

I stand over his high chair as he tentatively takes a finger scoop of red icing, poised with my camera to capture the first taste. I see the look of pleasant surprise, and the twinkle in his eye as he digs further into the small circular cake each time, finally […]

Big Erv is Three.

My sweet boy, the BABY of the family, is THREE today.

He’ll always be my baby…as much as I moaned and groaned about my little brother and his “eternal baby” status in our family, I now know why.

I also know that the bigger he gets, the harder it can be sometimes.

This […]

Project 365: Weeks 11-12

Yeah, so it’s been spring break and I’ve been a touch burned out/busy/overwhelmed, so I didn’t really feel like doing this last weekend. But, of course, now I have twice as much to share. Woo!

March 9

What’s this? A quiet evening AND the kids getting along? Unheard of.

March 10

Little thug. Watch […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Door

This kid. He’ll be THREE in a matter of days. The baby. The big boy! He’s always on the move, so I tried to capture that this week. Plus, it was really sunny out, and it’s hard for me to get the settings right, so I needed some practice there, […]
