Current Mood

While this picture was taken much earlier than now, the mood still is accurate. I am tired. With that being said, here is my picture - and good night!

Funny

I have struggled with this one. I tried getting a picture of S laughing hysterically while I tickled her. The problem was - it is hard to take a picture while tickling a squirming 2 year old. Then, I got in my head too much. I started overthinking what was funny, and not just to me, but to the general masses. But the time has come that I just need to move on. Here are some photos that are funny to me.

This girl cracks me up. Every day. I love her to bits!

Watching A try and drive S down the hill of our driveway, with a pretend tree, was pretty funny to see. Thank you AutoAwesome for a partial capture. 

We were watching a friend's son, and S and him just helped themselves to a snack and sat down nonchalantly in front of the refrigerator to eat. 

With Loved Ones

I was totally going to do a "selfie" pic with my girls, or maybe a whole family shot. Then, A drew all of us today on the sidewalk. So, without further adieu, here I am with loved ones (that's me on the right ;-) :

To-Do

I don't write down most of my to-do lists. The majority of them are floating through my head. What I do get down on "paper" are usually entered into my phone. I use the Listonic app because it has a web interface, a mobile interface/app, and I can share lists with people.

We had some of our neighbors over for dinner tonight. Earlier this afternoon we realized we needed to do a quick store run for just a couple things. I added them to a list, and my husband ran to the store.

Hair

We went to Disney On Ice Rockin' Ever After yesterday. They had a Rapunzel scene, and I was hoping that they would have a scene with her extra-long hair (they did last year at a different Disney On Ice show). They didn't, unfortunately.

This is me. My last haircut was just about one year ago. I am horrible at getting regular cuts. Some of it is just me. But, some of it is because they (hairstylists) always want to give me an easy, versatile cut. I appreciate it most of the time, but sometimes, I just want them to say - here is a look I think would look good on you and it is fashionable right now. Go for it and have fun! Sure, maybe I would actually need to get my haircut on a more frequent basis, but for the right cut it would be worth it.

I am not sure if my hair will be long enough to donate to Locks of Love again by the time I get it cut, but depending on the style I end up going with, maybe I will have just enough to donate to those in need.

Expression

OK, so S does this facial expression that just cracks me up. It is this look when she is trying to have a serious conversation. I haven't caught it on camera prior to now, and I tried to for this photo challenge. And of course, she didn't do it that much when I was ready to take a picture. I wish I could capture it because it is just so sweet. I was able to get a few facial expressions from the girls that I love, so I will share those instead.

Red

It has been a long day. The traffic on the way to bring my oldest daughter to preschool was way worse than normal. I wanted to take a picture of all the taillights I had been staring at for about a half hour. I decided not to due to sheer laziness to be honest - I didn't want to take the time to blur out any license plate numbers. The slow traffic had me "seeing red," but that isn't something I could really photograph. After 40+ minutes of sitting in traffic my daughter just had enough, too About to take a sip of something to drink, she decides to lose all of her breakfast all over her clothes and seat. Poor kid gets carsick from time to time. It has been a long time since her last episode, but all the stop-and-go finally got to her. We pulled off the road to clean up, got back in the car, and promptly turned around towards home. As my general plan for the day was derailed, so was any thought of my photo challenge. Fast-forward to bedtime. Red. What is red? A points out that the mouth on the monkey on my silly (yet, oh so comfortable) pajama pants is red. Yes, it is red. But, not really what I am looking for. We get through the bedtime rituals, and I still am stumped. The overall day called for a relaxing evening drink. We decided on wine... oh! I could do a picture of red wine! Alas, we opted for a white (a moscato, sweetness in a bottle). While I was grabbing the bottle from the fridge, I noticed this picture hanging up from May of this year. The red hand is mine, the purple hand is A's, and the yellow hand is S's. I am glad I have this to show how little their hands were in mine.
