just for fun


This is 500 sheets of blank white paper.
Today is March 29th.
Let's see how long it takes them to draw on every single one of these.
They don't waste.
Just for fun.
I bet not long.
P.S. We recycle.
P.P.S. But as far as they are concerned, we save things forever.

Learning


Normally I just wing it when it comes to photography. So when I got the opportunity to go to a workshop this Saturday I was excited to see if I could come away with some more knowledge...real knowledge. I think I did. Since Saturday I've only been in Manual mode which is a step in the right direction and not as hard as I thought. We'll see if my skills improve.  I hope so. There was not much to take photos of except airplanes. I'm more of a children and babies kind of girl. This is all I got for you.

iHeidi

Heidi is our little Apple girl. Both girls are into the iPad and have caught onto it so quickly. But it's Heidi who plays with it on those afternoons that Kyla is having quite time with her Leapster. As of late though, my iPod has resurfaced as I've tried to occasional trip to the gym. She's latched onto that too. If she sees it she asks to listen to it. And I let her. Of course the only kid music on there is the Annie soundtrack but she doesn't seem to mind. She's pretty cute just sitting there with those buds in her ears. iHeartHer. 




Oh and these shoes she's wearing. She's been wearing 24/7. They are Kyla's flower girl shoes from the wedding that she was in a year and a half ago. Heidi wears them everyday, all day. She keeps them by her bed at night and puts them on first thing in the morning. Here she is wearing them with her PJs.

One more thing, this iPod picture reminds me of this cute picture of Heidi on the airplane that I love. (11 months old on the way home from Disneyland)

we're still here...

...as a matter of fact we are always here (home that is). Or at least that's the way it seems lately. Even the trip to Target that I considered earlier this morning, seemed like too much work (we didn't go). I denied two park meet up requests today. We are just home. I'm hoping the weather gets nice soon so that venturing outside will not include getting everyone out of their dress up clothes, bundling up, socks, shoes, and coats...too much work. This isn't really like me. I like to be out and doing. But I guess its mostly Molly's eating schedule that has kept me home. Not to mention three kids in and out of the car. I'm not complaining. Happy to be home, doing laundry, listening to K & H play millions of made up games, and watching sleeping Molly (who still mostly does just that- sleep). The days and nights are blended together but we have some things to look forward to this weekend.-a visit from a friend, a grandma sleepover, a baby shower, family in town to meet Molly, and a birthday party!

Here's a glimpse of Molly with her eyes open...you have to be quick...she'll go back to sleep if you aren't and you'll miss it.

1 Month Molly


Happy 1 Month Molly!

What's happening at 1 Month:
♥ Your nicknames are Molly McGee and Molly Bug.
♥ You only cry when a cold wipe is put on your bum or you have to get out of the bath. You don't like to be cold. (You are just sneezing in that picture above.)
♥ You make A LOT of noise when you eat. 
♥ We know at this time last week you had already gained one pound ten ounces. You're probably almost eight pounds now.
♥ You are a good little eater.
♥ Everyone loves to snuggle you.
♥ You can go in four hour stretches at night.
♥ You are pretty much always asleep.
♥ Today was the first day you wore something that was 0-3 months. 
♥ You seem unphased by your sisters constant loving, touching, holding, kissing, and the occasional accidental kick in the face.
♥ You don't mind tummy time like the other two did. 
♥ You are a sweet sweet baby and we LOVE you!

Annie Dresses

Today the girls are playing Annie. They are currently playing it as I type. (It's been going on for about two hours now.) They have their "Annie dresses" on and hats and scarfs and are running through the house with "Sandy" away from the dog catcher and police man. I love that these Christmas dresses have gotten SO MUCH use. The bigger one is a 3T and the smaller one is 18-24 months. Kyla wore both dresses for past Christmas'. Heidi wore the little one. They have never been put away. How much longer will they last? I don't think Heidi's can get any shorter.




Sisters {We ♥ PW}

I ♥ The Pioneer Woman. I love her recipes and her photography assignments. I especially loved this last one, Sisters. Go here to see all the entries. So fun to look at. I'll admit...I did enter a few. I knew I'd have NO chance. There were like 200,000+ entries. But it was fun to do anyways. This is my fav that I entered.


And THIS is my favorite from the contest.

Of course we do lots of photoshoots around here. No one really seems to mind {yet}. So we decided {collectively} after browsing the Sister contest to recreate that picture in our own version. Kinda fun. Here is what we came out with. Too bad its so cold outside. Much cuter in the green grass.
