valentines day. lame. except for the part where a bunch of stay at home mom friends gather at krispy kreme and let their kids feast on a healthy, wholesome breakfast of heart shaped donuts with pink sprinkles… (disclaimer: i did not get shots of all of the kids and moms. sorry.) grae: kess: anna: isaac: […]
lid kid everyday life
consign.
it’s a well known fact that i don’t buy my kids new clothes. well, occasionally, i encounter something that i can’t pass up. but, mostly, my kids are clad in hand-me-downs, megathrift finds and consignment sale clothings. this friday, after i dropped ike off at school, i carted anna off to a local preschool and […]
tutu party
today was our friend addison’s 2 year birthday party. since she turned two on 2/2, her parents threw her a tutu party. i had to wake anna from her nap early to go. she wasn’t happy. strawberries: cupcake: all the kids trying to sit still for a pic: anna, at home, where i could finally […]
sickie.
On Friday, Ike got a nasty cough. It’s made for some rough nights. And then he has these episodes where he coughs violently for a few minutes and then vomits for his grand finale. So there’s been a lot of steam cleaning and laundry. Then this morning, annababy woke up coughing like a smoker, and […]
chillin’ (no really – it’s cold) at the playground.

anna, parks, friends.
the weather has been pretty mild here in the carolinas this almost-winter… we’ve been out to the park twice in the last week. i didn’t get many pics of the kids at the first park. mostly because it’s got a ginormous two story play structure that my kids seem to have very little fear of, […]
charlie brown christmas
aside from multiple viewings of “a charlie brown christmas” (i think we’re already at 6 or 7 this year), we like to infuse our christmas decor with a generous amount of charlie brown themed items. my personal favorite is this ornament, that plugs into a light strand and lights up. it weighs about 7 pounds, […]
luigi and a dragon
this year, we went all out and trick or treated twice. on sunday night, we went to old salem. mistake. there were approximately 650,000 other trick-or-treaters and it was slow going. our kids didn’t hang in there for very long. but, they were cute and we got the best pics there, because it was still […]
