rachel's continued ramblings

yay!!!! it’s friday!!!! which also means it’s instafriday, and I get to share my small squares with the world… you know, because the world totally cares… micah, peaking around the corner of the family room. dave was playing super mario bros on the wii and it was one of the dark, scary , bowser’s castle levels. micah has always been scared of these, especially in mario kart. he won’t play those levels. at any rate, he left the room, but still wanted to check on dave’s progress every now and then. day 22. up. this is the monkey tree in my front yard. I can’t believe I have a monkey tree!!!! all my life, I’ve thought these were the coolest trees, and now I have the hugest, healthiest monkey tree I’ve ever seen in my front yard! yeah, I like it just a little. so, I got a white house/black market catalog in the mail. I may have been a little bit excited…  maybe… just a little. layla made drums out of tinkertoys and was beating them. day 23. before bed. on most (well, we try) sund...

so… here we go again! another week, another series of outfits that attempt to look cute, coordinate, and not be jammies or sweats. it’s starting to act like fall around here. chilly in the morning, foggy, warming up to the low 70’s by afternoon. except yesterday. I think we topped out at 65 and it was FREEZING! at any rate, that means I’m starting to reach for more layers, long sleeves, and my skirts and capris are being replaced by a boring, 9 month long onslaught of long pants… but the good news about all of that is that I dug out my uggs for the first time today! woohoo! I have warm, toasty, comfy feet right now… the bad news is that you can pretty much plug those into any picture I take of my outfits from here until next may. it’s a win-lose situation. I think I’ve covered every day except saturday. I did get dressed… and I had a picture, but it was horrible, and after looking at it, I can’t believe I went out in public with my hair looking like that! at any rate, I am going to do ...

sunday: crazy micah. he was in the bathroom for a while, and when I went to investigate, this is what I found. just taking a bath in the sink. for some unknown reason… also sunday: the picture of micah’s feet with no shoes on them, on the way to church on sunday. yup, he forgot his shoes. monday: micah, looking contemplative about his train… tuesday: this is where I always find micah when I come to pick him up from preschool. I love watching him play when he doesn’t know I’m there yet. it used to always be that he was digging for treasure. lately, he’s always trying bury the slide. wednesday: I spent the morning cleaning out the van . it is crazy how much stuff was in there. and I’m also including the ‘clean’ pictures, AND the list of stuff I pulled out! friday: micah, being brave and peaking around the corner while dave was playing super mario brothers. micah is super scared of any bowser’s castle levels (in mario kart, he won’t drive those courses), so he always has to leave t...
