Dress Up

-
This is how the kids spent their Thursday afternoonIs it my imagination or does she look SO old in this picture?

Random Friday notes:
  • Since I spent yesterday doing things like talking to my sister-in-law for 2 hours, making chocolate chip cookies, reading Scooby Doo books (with LOTS of words) to Camden and Rory, and watching Project Runway, I need to get lots of housework done today.
  • I've been letting Rory pick out her own shoes (not all the time but when it doesn't matter too much), and she loves it. However, she seems to be having a harder and harder time making a choice. I'm sure it couldn't be because she has too many to choose from.
  • The kids have spent countless hours looking at the Halloween costume catalog this week (I remember this from last year too). Camden is just fascinated by the transformers, ninja turtles, etc. Rory giggles at "the guy wrapped in toilet paper" (a.k.a. mummy) and does not like the "gay guy" (a.k.a. GRAY guy).
  • Someone asked me about the rounded corners on my blog pics. You can buy the template here.
  • I haven't bought a CD in well over a year, but I'm definitely picking up this one today.
  • I was stopped earlier this week by a man in Walmart who commented that Rory was going to be a knock-out when she was older. I'm sorry, but is it creepy that a grown man is picturing my 2 year old as a grown-up? And this happens on a pretty regular basis. It started on the plane home from Korea. So not kidding.
  • Camden informed us earlier this week that the first man to walk on the moon was Neil Strongarm.
Have a good weekend!

Melissa - thank you! :)

Rory does look older in those photos! What a beauty! I agree - comments like that guy's are very creepy. I really don't like the whole "Asian/China doll" stereotype. It scares me the comments our kids will face when they ARE older.

Wow - she does look old there! But adorable none-the-less!

And yes, that's creepy... ugh... it makes me feel better about the "heart breaker" comments I get about my guy though!

Blogging, Not Blogging

Blogging feels awkward these days. Not blogging feels a bit like abandoning an old friend. In this season of life it doesn't feel necessary to jot down every cute quip (and that's only partially because they don't say nearly as many cute things). The kiddos (even that is strange - can I still call a 12 and 9 year old kiddos?) are more likely to say "don't put that on your blog!" Rory still likes the attention, but Camden is feeling the need for privacy. But they also still love to read my words. Not a week goes by that they don't pull out blog books from previous years and pore over the pictures and words. Rory giggles and retells the stories; Camden quietly takes in the tougher subjects. Here's the truth. I have less to share because life is both busy and unexciting at the same time. I cannot distinguish between what is important to remember and what will be meaningless in 20 years when Camden and Rory are grown with families of thei

Cousins, part 3 (the adult version)

-

So I'm notoriously bad about including adults in the picture when we're all together, and this trip was no exception. Here are the very few that include adults. Becky is always my test subject before the cousin photo shoots. At the baseball game (which was incredibly hot/humid and started nearly an hour late). Kids were pretty wiped out after their naps following the return from camp. (the adult who spent a week at camp might have been tired too) Camden had the camera and took these pictures of me and Becky, Liz, and mom. Lewis/Hale/Derby/Lemons family - you're all caught up!

7/52: Pastel

-
Image
This week's theme was pastel and there's not a whole lot of pastel in our house, much less with my black-eyed, black-haired Korean gal. However, she gave me about 10 minutes of cooperation in 10 degree weather and we attempted a pastel snow picture. The first one is my official pastel picture, but I included the other attempts because it was pretty darn fun. This is a new face I'm seeing often these days. By the way, she has 3 shirts underneath this dress, a pair of pajama pants and a pair of hot pink sweat pants. LOL
