a little hairy...

I overheard this conversation today while the boys were taking their morning shower...


Caleb (age 7)- when you get older, you will have lots of hair in your armpits. (this immediately got my attention so I listened in)

Jonah (age 5)- hair? here? (I imagine him pointing at one of his armpits.)

Caleb: yep. it's how you know you're old. like Daddy.

Jonah: but Mommy doesn't have hair in her armpits...?

Caleb: that's because she's younger than Daddy. She just hasn't grown hers yet.


I love listening to Caleb sharing his "wise" big brother knowledge :)

I'm so happy for the weekend!!! Lazy mornings of waffles and cuddles on the couch during saturday morning cartoons while sipping fresh coffee and waiting for soccer and football game times... the perfect way to relax after a busy week!

thunder thighs and capris...

how stinkin' cute are these thighs...?


wish I looked this cute in a onesie!



My sweet Eden, I love you so much... I love cuddling and playing with you and your big gummy smile is so contagious!

BUT.

You have got to quit waking up at 5 am to eat. And play. For over an hour.

Beacuse Mommy is so tired after 4 early mornings with you! Let's go back to sleeping in til 8 am and then we can eat and play, k?



I doubt she's gonna listen to me ;)


Today Tessa had on some "capris" I didn't recognize...



so I checked the tag...



and I realized they fit her as pants about 3 years ago! But she thinks they're capris, and they actually fit her kinda cute!

photography 101 and christmas in september...

Last night I started a photography class with my friend Kristen- she asked if I was interested and I thought "a night out, to play with my camera? Absolutely!"

So for the first class I knew how to do everything he taught (all in manual mode), I just didn't know what it was all called. Like f-stop and apertures. I've just been winging it all through a tiny bit of reading the manual and trial and error. I refer to them as this button and that button, and the dial right here. So I'm excited to learn the actual names of all of the buttons and dials I've been using :)

Quite honestly I wouldn't care too much if I didn't learn anything new.

Because it's a night out.

To play with my camera.

ALONE :)
