Not Me Monday

August 9, 2009

This blog carnival was started by MckMama. Check out her blog for more Not Me Monday fun!

So, how was our weekend? Well, it was quiet. It was uneventful. It was relaxing. It was filled with the noises of brother and sister loving each other and playing peacefully. NOT!

I certainly did not have to tell the kids one zillion times to stop fighting. I did not almost lose my mind from the constant screaming. TRex has not become quite annoyed with Snappy. Snappy has not decided that everything must be her way or the loud way.

On Saturday I managed to corral them for a little fingerpainting fun.


And it did NOT end like this...


I did not accidentally scrub Snappy's fingers too much after forgetting that my mother had painted her nails orange. Oops.


I did not get some really fantastic pics of Snappy. I also didn't get so carried away that I only got a few of TRex.
 

She certainly has NO attitude at all!


I did not spend all day Sunday working on 5 different blog posts. I did not do it in my pajamas.

But, hey, you get to reap the rewards of all the pajama work that I didn't do! Head over to the Giveaways page and enter the new contests. If you are a blogger you can head over to the brand spankin new section for the Blogger Book Club Giveaway Game!

Photographer Spotlight

August 7, 2009
I love photography. I love taking pictures. I love photoshopping. I love looking at pictures. I love really good photography and can appreciate all of it. It's in my blood, I suppose. My parents own a very successful photography studio and my mom's been taking pics for as long as I can remember. My husband has his photography business and I love to work with him and do my part. I absolutely adore scouring the web for really cool photographers. There are some extremely talented people out ther...

Not Me Monday

August 3, 2009

This blog carnival was started by MckMama. Check out her blog to see what everyone else has not been doing this week!


We did NOT spend last week and this weekend sweating, packing, moving and unpacking. It was NOT chaotic. The old house did NOT look like this...


Snappy did NOT try to help by unpacking boxes immediately after I packed them.
She also did not "help" by doing this...




It wasn't me that bribed the children with popsicles to keep them out of the way for a few minutes!
I would never do t...

Happy Birthday TREX!

July 30, 2009
I cannot believe that 5 years ago today this wonderful person entered our lives. Our TRex has filled our days with laughter and joy. His crazy antics are a constant source of amazement and entertainment. From day one he has shown his persistence and determination. We are better people, better parents with him in our lives. I am forever thankful to be able to be the mom of this little boy.

Our miracle baby...


Has "dragoned up"...


We Love You TRex!

Movin on uh-up!

July 28, 2009
Well, the Uhaul will be here this evening.

Things are a little crazy.

The house is a wreck.

The kids are insane.

I've lost most control of cleaning and regulating what's going on.

A few days of relaxed rules never hurt, right? I've got so much to do. Seriously, I'm looking around and thinking it's never going to be done. I'm to the point of just throwing random crap into boxes with the intention of sorting it out upon unpacking. My nice organized packing lasted all of a few hours! How does on...
