Havin' so much fun!!!

There's not much to report... only that we are having so much fun now that Scott has passed his test.  There still seems to be this lingering feeling around the house sometimes when we are all just hanging out that Scott needs to hurry off to the library... then I realize WOW, that's all over with and then a huge sense of relief and joy come over us.

It really is so great to have all that behind us so we can move on with our lives.

The other day I was doing something (let's just assume it was laundry, dishes, cooking dinner, checking homework, picking up toys, or giving myself a timeout) and Sam yelled and called for me to come into her room where I assumed it was time for the referee in me to step in and reprimand one of the twins for doing something she did not like or for breaking another one of her toys... 

Well this was the scene I happened upon once I stepped into her room...

You could imagine a mother's delight to see everyone all bundled up in Sam's bed laying there being silly and sweet with one another... so naturally I had to grab my camera since these really are fleeting moments.

Whoa baby, it's been a lonnnng time!

OK, here we go... my attempt to play catch up... Scrolling down you see it was just a few posts ago that I was so proud of my new lil 2nd grader. Well as time so often does it just flew right by and we just wrapped up 2nd grade year... watch out 3rd grade. As tradition in our house here is Sam's mini shoot commemorating her 2nd grade year.

Another before and after... this one is not so dramatic...

Before: 4 bandanas (2 zebra print & 2 pink polka dot) After: 1 very ADORABLE bandana dress and 1 super STYLISH bandana shirt Now I know this is not a new concept here, but I am really quite proud of my little sewing creation. So proud that I'm sure the girls are going to be screaming and chanting 'put down the bandana and just walk away'. These were oh so (and sew) easy!!! I'm seeing one in every color and pattern for the girls... oh the possibilities!!

Now I know why...

Today, for the first time, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I get it. I am now in the club. I now know why most moms only want a family photo as their gift for Christmas, birthday, Mother's Day or any other gift-giving holiday. Why do I know this... because today was OUR family picture day and it was everything I wanted and more. I don't care if no one looked at the camera, I don't care if we all had something stuck in our teeth... it was a picture of me and my most favorite people on earth and that right there is worth more to me than ANYTHING that could ever be purchased. So, in honor of picture day I just couldn't help but grab my own camera as soon as we got home to get a few shots of my own since we were all lookin' uber cute. Completely random pics, most out of focus (I really am working to train Scott and Sam), but just a little sneak peek of us...
