Friday Five

Can't belive it's Friday already but I'm so glad!

Five things that always make you smile...THINGS, not people.

1. Gorgeous blue skies
2. lower number on the scale (will that ever happen again)
3. flowers in bloom
4. the beach.
5. cup of coffee.

The Frog

The other day week, we were playing outside (mama needed a break from the kids using me as a jungle gym and it wasn't too cold) and we found a frog.

Conner was so startled when I got that little guy to jump. It was hilarious!!! He was so intrigued after that. I actually had to put the frog into the back yard because I was afraid for his life. Conner wanted him.



When Josh got home, Conner told him that we found a frog and that "mommy took it away". Then I had to explain why I put the frog in the backyard. Josh laughed at me and got him out for Conner.

Cuteness alert

After my session the other day, Parker decided he was not interested in napping. I took his clothes off (left him in the diaper), stuck a hat on his head and made him model for me. And by "made" I stuck him in a bowl that he wasn't sure how to get out of so it bought me a few minutes of shooting time. If you're my FB friend, you've already seen these but whatever.
These are 3 of my favs.

So What Wednesday

This week, I'm saying so what to...

I'm done making Parker's baby food. I'm tired of doing it and I got a great deal on Earth's Best on Amazon...so I bought them. It doesn't help that he's really over puree anyway.

So what if I need a mani/pedi and Conner tells me I have nasty feet. Babysitters are hard to come by and when I have one, I like to get organized not spend {more} money at a nail salon.

So what if I have zero motivation...still. whatever.

So what if I decided to stop including certain people in fun things that my kids are doing. I always text this one person pictures or when the kids do something cute and NEVER get a response. DONE.

So what if I wait until 5pm every day to clean up. On days that I don't, I just walk around picking up toys constantly to have the kiddos pull them right back out.

So what if I think my kids are cuter than your kids. Have you seen them lately? They're totally cute.

What are you saying so what to?

Saturday Morning Scene

I'm linking up with Katie b/c I think this is super fun!

Here's what I'm looking at today

13.1

Yesterday, I did something pretty drastic. I registered for a half marathon. It's not until October 2 so I have some time to get completely ready for it. I have decided that I'm going to have a possee with me. So far, I have my sister and new friend Sara running it with me. I'm trying to convince someone from high school that is running her first half this month to come down to the ATL and run it too. She's not all in...yet. I've also decided that if I get 3 people to run w/me, I'm going to make shirts. I'm so excited and nervous about it. It's the training plans that make me nervous.


Check out the rad lime green shirt for participants...oh and they have FREE beer at the finish line! woot woot. I might be able to run 13.1 for that alone!

Friday Five

Five things you always have in your pantry

1. Peanut butter; It's my staple of choice and must be JIF, full fat. That reduced fat stuff isn't as good
2. Wheat Thins; Josh's fav
3. Pop Corn
4. Ramen Noodles; Conner LOVES these
5. Apple sauce cups; you know, those little 4 oz ones

Need some fitness inspiration...

Check out this 73 year old with an amazing body!

This is how we roll

When I have 2 kids climbing all over me, I have to get creative to squeeze in some form of fitness. I love to do crunches; I always have. I love sore abs. I'm a weird-o, I know. As soon as I lay on the floor, I have company. I just go with it.



and what you do for one, you must do for the other...

So What Wednesday

This week, I'm saying SO WHAT to..

So what if I haven't put my photography stuff away yet. I had a session yesterday and I just haven't felt like putting it all away.
So What if I love the fact that Harley's shock collar works now.
So What if I enjoy sitting my big butt on the couch.
so What if I have only run one day this week. It's on my to do list for the day
So What if I hate laundry. I really hate it.
So what if I left the laundry in the dryer/washer b/c I knew my MIL was coming over today to watch the kids. I knew she'd fold it and reload the washer/dryer.

What are you saying so what to?
