week 15 in pictures

sunday:  I haven’t decided which of these will be sunday’ POTD:002004

1. micah, catching. he knows he’s supposed to turn his hat around backwards and squat, in order to be a catcher.

2. sophie, watching tv. layla wanted to watch ‘martha speaks’, so I turned it on for her. as soon as I did, sophie came in and arranged herself in such a way as to look like she had settled herself to watch a show. a show about dogs even!

monday’s POTD:002

although layla stayed home from school that day, she seemed well enough to go to her first t-ball practice.

tuesday’s POTD:008

thinking she was well, I sent layla to school. mistake. she came home from school, and I discovered she had a fever again. so I made her lay down. she slept for FIVE hours! this picture was taken shortly after she woke up. at 8pm. micah had given her a ‘cup of lemonade’, AKA, big lego.

wednesday: not sure which I’ll use…009010023035037

because of the previous day’s fever, and a bunch of coughing/sneezing, layla stayed home from school. she and micah spent the morning playing with playdough in their jammies.

002

I discovered this crazy-huge flower on one of my primroses. the one next to it is a typical-sized flower. hello!

thursday:001

on wednesday evening, I discovered that micah had caught the crud that layla had had all week. thursday afternoon (yes, he’s still in his jammies), he was strangely quiet. I thought he was in the livingroom, but since I couldn’t hear anything, I got suspicious and went to find him. I almost didn’t see him. he WAS in the livingroom, passed out on the couch.

002

yes, she’s still in her jammies too. layla stayed home again on thursday (still coughing and snotting), and they declared it to be a pajama day. no, she’s not sleeping here, just faking as she cuddles up w/ toby.

friday:034

layla thought that the name was fading off of her soccer ball, so she asked me for a sharpie so she could re-write it… I don’t think there will be any mistaking whose ball this is.

046

micah suddenly announced, “I’m going canoeing!”.

056

and then he passed out again in the afternoon. this is how you know he’s not feeling well. don’t you love how he’s snuggling with his glove?

friday:052

layla was FINALLY well enough to go back to school. that afternoon, she went out in the garage and invented a new vehicle…

saturday – there are a lot of pics, but I’ll just share a few:015020045

layla had her first t-ball game. she had fun. there were a lot of really cute, really funny moments, as her team seems to be made up entirely of first-timers. no one ran the wrong way around the bases, but there was one kid on the other team that tried to field the ball he had hit!059

and later that afternoon… micah still not feeling well, and so he fell asleep again. this time, on me.

009

hey look! shane does exist! saturday night… this is the sort of stuff they do. and this is the only way shane will fit in the little car. it kept tipping over on him, though. pretty funny stuff.

still have to figure out all my POTD’s and get it sent off to costco for printing.

AND, my 2 new project life kits should be delivered today! I got one each of the 2011 designs (one of the last available of the turquoise!) to do past years in. I’m hoping to get 2 years’ worth of pictures into each of them and I’m so excited!!!!

random diaper musings

do you ever feel at odds with yourself? i constantly feel like i'm a big wad of contradictions. and being the living-in-my-head, overthinking type i can spend years, i mean hours pondering things. it can really get me down. example: diapers. one would think that this was a relatively easy thing to handle. i've got 3 kids. i'm pretty familiar with diapers. it seems so simple; your baby needs a change so you take the old diaper off and put a new one on. done. right? no. i have this constant dilemma going on. cloth or disposable. i have 25 perfectly good fitted cloth diapers that i paid a lot of money for when i decided a couple years ago that i was done filling up landfills. so micah wears them a good share of the time. but it bugs me that they're so bulky, especially with the covers on and clothes fit funny and that totally drives me nuts. so at home, he just wears the diaper w/ no cover and when we leave the house, i put a disposable on him. not usually

pink bubblegum goo, inaugurations and insomnia...

yesterday morning, layla mentioned again that her ears hurt. so that, coupled w/ the neon green snot and the vomit-inducing cough won her an all-expenses-paid trip to the doctor's office. dual acute otitis. aka, both ears were infected. AND, get this, the doc said she had blisters on both her eardrums. BLISTERS! doesn't that sound awful? funny thing is, this was not one of those situations where it is clear as day that your kid has an ear infection (usually revealed in the middle of the night) and you start debating whether or not you can pump them full of tylenol and pray they last until 7:30am when you can call the dr.'s office and get the earliest available appointment, or if you have to go to the ER at O-dark-thirty. (btw, i'm sure my 'critics' will have a hay day with that last one, but oh well.) she really only mentioned her ears a couple of times, but never really complained or moaned or whined or cried about them like i would expect. we've

but i wanted beans!

i have discovered something amazing. until recently, layla would never eat green beans. well, she used to, and then a little more than a year or so ago, she started pulling them apart and eating the seeds out of them, leaving the rest. yeah, i know she's weird. then she quit eating them all together. she would just leave them on her plate. well, a couple fridays ago, we were having our pizza and beans and something prompted shane to pull these 'trainer' chopsticks out of the drawer. i've had them for a couple of years - i think i found them at a thrift store and thought they were cute and the kids could use them when we had chinese food. but we'd all kind of forgotten about them since we rarely eat chinese food (which makes me sad). so everyone got really excited about these and layla used them to eat every last one of her beans that night. dave and i exchanged some raised eyebrows as lightbulbs were illuminating above our heads. last night i made chicken sandwiches

what I wore wednesday

iiiiiiiiiiiiiit’s wednesday again!!! which means it’s time for me to brag about all of my incredibly well-thought out and likely expensive fashion endeavors prove to the world that I didn’t wear jammies all week. well, not all week… wednesday: tank: old navy, thrifted cardigan: handmedown jeans: thrifted flip flops: kohls earrings: target scarf: thrifted I was SO excited to find this scarf! it’s gorgeous! very silvery and shimmery, the blue flowers and so cute, AND it’s short! for somebody like me, who is of the not-so-tall persuasion, really long scarfs (or even standard length scarfs) can sometimes be a little overwhelming. you know? it’s like, “how many times can I wrap this thing around my neck before you can’t see my head anymore?” at any rate, this one is awesome and I love it and expect to see it on me a lot! I also found the process of trying to take a picture to be quite entertaining. I have a ‘people dog’, meaning, wherever her people are, that is where she th

books

so i have, what i’ve coined as, “book ADD”. basically, i love books. i love to read. i love the king county library system and their fabulous website. i love clicking the “place hold” button. i generally have upwards of 35 books checked out, a hold list a mile long, and a running ‘tab’ of fines for overdue books. but here’s the problem. i generally have so many books and i want to read them all, that i never wind up reading any of them. i’ll bring home a book, read a chapter or two, and then the next book on my list will come in. repeat. eventually, i will have read 2 chapters of a dozen or so books, they will be due to go back, and i’ll never get around to finishing them. ugh! well, i’m officially attempting to ‘kick that habit’. at my husband’s repeated suggestion, i’m learning to make use of the ‘freeze’ button on the library’s website. this enables you to keep your hold on the book, but not receive it until you want it. it just moves other people’s holds ahead of yours. this is
