Homework

I love Ethan's new school. They send home a packet at the beginning of the week with something to do each night. He hardly ever brought home anything to do in Portland.

Yourself

Gross, I know. But, thats what I've been doing all day...I hate being sick

Indian

I know how gross and  yellow this picture looks, but oh well. Ethan made this Indian costume in school for Thanksgiving and decided that tonight was a great time for dress up...love the sandals too!

Down

When she's tired, she spends alot of time on the ground with her blanket until I put her to bed.

Style

Oh yeah, she's going to have great style...

Grow

She may be tiny still, but she is growing. I had to take down her little bassinet she was sleeping in, and move her to the play'n'pack. Pretty soon, I'm sure she'll be in a real bed.

Traffic

We live right off a busy road. It totally sucks that we don't have a fence and that I can't let the kids outside to play alone. Oh well...I guess a little sunlight wont hurt me.

Through

 

Mess

I know better than to give this child a bag or cup of food and then let her loose. I don't know why I keep doing it...

Sun

This was the best it got today.

Home

Together

I don't know about you, but you can't get any better than dark chocolate peanut m&m's.

Breakfast

No school today (due to icy conditions) means taking time to actually make breakfast, instead of popping it in the microwave.

Landscape

I wanted to do something fun with the picture for today, but it's super cold, and rainy and windy outside, so I just took a simple picture of the bushes in the front of the house. Maybe on a sunny day, I can re-do it.

Piano

The piano was delivered today. Good thing we didn't do it cause I think we would have broken it into pieces. Thank goodness for professionals!

Stripes

Ethans bed

Fire

We have a fire place in our new house, and we are totally loving it!!

Electric

Corner

One of the corners in my new kitchen

What you do

The washer never seems to get a break. Laundry is always something I do

Something you saw

Delicious

Shadow

Chaos

Chaos in my house

Ready

Ready to eat. Is it mean that I stopped to take a picture before she ate?

Fire Rise

It looks like the trees are on fire...right? Nope...it's actually the sun rising. I thought it was pretty cool. The neighbors house is kinda gross though, so don't look at that!

Two Things

For a hurt baby

Ice

We were supposed to have a big ol' ice storm last night, but it didn't do anything other than leave ice on the trees and bushes. Thank Goodness! I like having heat and power when it's freezing cold!

An Ordinary Moment

 

Cooking Dinner

PMS

 

It's no secret that I love chocolate. And peanut butter. Put them together, and you've got a match made in heaven (I feel this way about chocolate and mint too). I realized that I should not go to the grocery store when I'm PMSing. It just isn't a good thing. I brought these home the other day to munch on. I'm sure all the stress I'm under doesn't help either.

Something Yellow

 

 

Ice

 

The past few days have been in the upper 60's...then today, it hardly even got to 32*. Along with the freezing weather, we also had a little bit of sleet. It made for a pretty picture,  but I'd rather have the 60 degree weather.

Circle

 

I used to wear these earrings all the time. I still love them, but having littles doesn't make wearing these a good idea. I don't think I'd like having a tear in my ears.

Mess

 

She may be a mess, but I love her messy face

Surprise

 

I think she looks surprised

Addiction

 

Hannah is addicted to her pacifier. No lie. It's her drug, and without it, she goes through horrible withdrawals.

 

I really wanted to get her to stop taking it a few months ago, but with Sara being born and things being crazy around here, I didn't want to take away something that comforts her. Besides, I would have gone crazy too.

 

So, I figured that at the beginning of the year, I'd take it away. Well, then we decided to move. Brian is also gone all week long, so again, I figured it wouldn't be the best time.

 

Hopefully within the next few months, we'll settle down, things will be back to normal, and I will be successful in taking it away. Slowly though...I don't think either one of us could go cold turkey.

Water

 

Cleaver, eh?

 

I had already done a few water pictures, so I figured this would be nice to not have more picture of water.

Before and After

Today I was able to go get my hair cut. Well, trimmed really. My ends were terrible and needed to be gone.

 

:Before:

 

 

:After:

 

Not a huge change, but enough to make me happy.

 

1 O'Clock

 

I was drying my nasty, curly, spilt end hair at 1 o'clock.

Shoes

 

"The perfect shoes can change your life. - Cinderella "

Paper

 

Oh yeah. Toilet paper! We all need it. We all use it and when it's the right kind of softness, we all love it!

Drip

 

It's a cold, rainy day today, so there isn't much sunlight. But, that doesn't mean that we can't enjoy rain drops.

Something beginning with the letter 'T'

 

My Grandma has given all the granddaughters and great granddaughters a teacup of their own. I personally love this, and I'm grateful that we have something of hers. This one is Hannah's.

Patience

 

One of my favorites.

Street

 

Our street...with a tree in the middle. I never understood why they left a tree in the middle of the road.

Flame

 

 

Mine

 

I don't have alot of things that I call mine...being a mother, I share a heck of alot. But, I love shoes, and I love that they are mine and nobody else in this house gets to wear them.

Gold

 

Brian has been bringing home these gold dollars for Ethan. He calls them gold coins and he thinks he's rich. Honestly, he probably has more money than I do.

Movement

I did alot of picture taking to get this shot, and I almost wish it was a little better. But, seeing as how I'm still learning, I'll take this. Besides, the kids were going crazy and I was getting annoyed so I didn't have much more time before we all lost our minds!
