week 11 in pictures

monday: made a dinner that made a huge mess and lots of dishes. it was yummy, but not good enough to be worth the mess.046

tuesday: my tuesday/thursday/saturday destination: barre3. love it…048

also tuesday: day 1 of my “couch to 5k” running program. I didn’t die, nothing hurt, and I went 2.02 miles in 30 minutes. I guess I have to do it again.052

wednesday: micah, pouting in his closet about his shorts. he was very sad when I put his shorts away last october, and has been begging to have them back, counting down until april, when I said he could have them back. when I sent him to get dressed for preschool, he just cried in the closet because he wanted to wear shorts, not pants.059

thursday: layla’s mountain of dogs.020

friday: micah, hanging out at a MOMS club playgroup.026

saturday: noticed this, walking through the room. apparently micah felt he needed some hand weights, too.031

and a couple I’ll use as skinnies to stick in center slots. mom and layla selfie, early in the morning. a terrible, unflattering gem that I discovered micah took during my aerobics class on friday morning. yes, we wear belly dancing skirts. they jingle. it makes it super fun to shake your hips!

    Matthew cried when I told him it was getting warm enough to not wear his heavy coat.

project life–week 3

nothing too exciting here: and yes, that is a picture of project life! I find myself taking pictures of things I would have found very weird a few months ago, but when you have the ‘daily life’ thing in mind, and stuff your grandchildren might enjoy seeing, it puts a different perspective on things. the latter half of the week: I LOVE wednesday’s picture… layla walking home from the bus. we do this EVERY day, and this is what it looks like now. I’ll have to remember to take one in the spring, and again next fall. I also have one of the pull-out double size journaling cards, which I used to tell the story of layla’s new bedding, which used to be mine. and that’s week 3.

vacation–day 2 (tuesday, august 10)

okay, no offense to gramma and papa, but this was THE DAY that we had all been looking MOST forward to. tuesday brought the arrival of the illdaps!!!! it had been SO long since we’d seen them, and even longer since shane and layla had. layla was just beside herself with excitement to get to play with lily again! of course, as soon as they arrived, everyone went straight into the pool! daredevil lily: hannah (banana): shane, air mattress surfing: jacob and micah checking out the little pool – not sure what was so funny… dave chilling and micah ‘driving’: gramma jackie and matthew: I think dave and I squeezed a trip to in-n-out fur lunch that day too! mmmm… double-double w/ grilled onions! later that evening, we took a walk to the park. long-lost cousins, reuinited: gramma helping micah and jacob make it dig: come on, uncle joe, it’s my turn!

it just keeps getting better...

so obviously, from my earlier post, the dinner-making portion of my day was a little less than spectacular.  oh, that was just the beginning. dave worked late today. after dinner, i ran a bath for the younger 2 and in the process of getting them from the dining room to the bathroom, micah knocked the container of cheerios off the table and they dumped ALL OVER the floor.  i scooped up what i could and threw it back in the container, then, mindful that the water was still running in the tub and i didn't want to flood the bathroom, i herded the kids into the bathroom and dumped them into the tub. i went back into the dining room and proceeded to sweep up the mound of cheerios that was left on the floor, all the while keeping an ear open for both voices and giggles in the bathroom (as long as you can hear them, their heads are above water, right?).  that took all of about 2 minutes. i looked in on them (both happy as could be) and discovered that both of my younger...

and today i...

...found two cereal containers (tupperware knock-off type) and their lids which have been floating around the garage for a year now. i brought them in and they are currently in the dishwasher so we can actually use them for our endless supply of life and cheerios. 2 more things out of the garage... (or 4 if you want to count the lids!) woo hoo!

micah's first word.

are you ready for it? "this" not very profound, i know. but he goes around pointing to stuff going, "this?" and then he'll point to something else and go,"this?" it's pretty cute. (and yes mary, reminiscent of lily. we're working on 'that'.) ... i'm taking shane to the doctor today. he's been having some random bouts of feeling like he's goint to throw up. he never does, but it's usually been at night and i'm getting tired. today's the first day he's felt bad during the day, but he was awake for a couple hours last night and today he said he wanted to go to the doctor and find out what's wrong with him. so we're going. ... i don't know if i ever mentioned that we finally got layla's doctor to refer us to an allergist. YAY! so now we've been in the holding pattern of trying to make an appointment and being unable to because they don't have all the info they need from her doctor...
