Busy Weekend Ahead

-



Well, I should feel guilty for even worrying about both kids being home together yesterday, because they were so good! The whole day was pleasant and full of smiles, and they even managed to be very kind to each other all day. I'm going to choose to believe it was not because I bribed them with the promise of ice cream at the end of the day.

We have a busy weekend planned. Tonight we're driving south of Nashville to meet our friends (and Texas partners) for dinner. It's at least an hour's drive (without traffic) so it might be a late night for us. Saturday includes a Korean restaurant (Rory's choice) for her birthday and then a small family party Sunday after church. I'm looking forward to it!

And some pictures from yesterday:

I found Camden and Rory outside sitting in their little lawn chairs "trying to annoy the horses." (our neighbor has horses)

And Rory pulled a Camden and used the goggles in the bathtub (check out those red cheeks from playing so hard outside). (and I took the opportunity to use my new external flash)

Oh my. The goggles. Love those! I'm slow: I don't know what "trying to annoy the horses" involves...

LOVE what you are doing with the flash! YAY!

Sounds like a good weekend though... and yummy!

I, too, find ice cream bribes work amazingly well.

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

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
