Our Day in Photos

Here's a day in photos. It's not a special day, just a regular day, doing regular things :)

Things I didn't photograph: me snipping at the toddlers, toddlers throwing food, me force-feeding Graham mashed potatoes because he wouldn't eat lunch, diaper-changes, me wasting time on the internets. Also, there's 1 picture of Graham watching a movie...that wasn't the only time he watched a movie though...

But here it is:

Waking up happy:
 Breakfast: Burned egg that Daddy made. Didn't go over well. Ended up eating a million blueberries instead.
 Frankie and Graham love books right now. Especially this one:
 Naptime = Mommy's snack. Homemade carrot cake from Behn's co-worker:
 Up and ready to play:
 A walk downtown:
 Daffodils:
 Playing at Hopkins Green:
 Movie Time:
 Got a hold of mama's phone:
 Smiling because he knows he can't have the phone:
 Dinner: Homemade Fettucine Alfredo, Spinach Salad: 
 No bath tonight, Daddy putting on G's pj's: 
 Brushing all 6 Teeth:
 That's the jist of it! I should've taken a photo of myself collapsed into bed at 8:30 p.m. I'm always exhausted at the end of the day.

However, looking at these photos makes me realize how long, tiring, and sweet these days are :-)

    Aww. Love the post. Looks very similar to a day with the Isaac and me. Isaac has a lot of days too where he watches a bit more of a show then I probably should let him... but well.. you know... it can be helpful!

    Also, my mom has those plates (the cake pic)!!! :)

Currently (what's up right now)

Ok, few dear readers, I haven't heard from you much lately. Which I get...because sometimes this blog is kind of BOOOORRRRING! So, just for fun, here's what is going on currently: Currently Watching: Downton Abbey , like the rest of the world. The heard the season finale on Sunday is 'devastating.' How can anything be more devastating than episode 4?? Downton , I warn you, if you are disappointing or break my heart, I will leave you.           I also dabble in Parks and Rec and Parenthood , with a side of The Bachelor . Currently Sweating: me, on the treadmill in the basement. This, with the combination of cutting out sodas and some snacks, means that the jeans that were very  tight when I first had Patrick are now comfortably baggy. YES! I still have work to do, but am feeling better about myself. Currently Reading: 7  by Jen Hatmaker You guys, I love this book.  "A mutiny against excess." Jen Hatmaker journals through seven months of givin

Patrick Wilford is Here!

Image
Both of my boys (what, I have 2 boys?) are napping right now, so it's time to update this blog with Patrick's birth story before I forget the details. Words to describe Patrick's birth: terrifying. fast. wonderful. merciful. unforgettable. We'll start with Friday, September 7th. I had my 39 week OB appointment and was 2 cm dilated and 75% effaced. Promising, but no guarantee I'd go into labor too soon. However, I did go ahead and schedule an elective induction for the following Tuesday (the 11th) because I liked the idea of knowing I'd make it to the hospital, plus my favorite doctor was on call that day, plus Behn had that whole week off of work so I knew he'd be there for everything. So it just made sense, even though I did want to try to have another natural childbirth. On Saturday (the 8th), I was excited because I knew there was a coldfront coming in. I was so ready for cool, unhumid air, but also was hopeful the change in the air pressure would c

Why, Yes, We Do Cloth Diaper

Image
Ahhhh naptime. I should be digging a flower bed, cleaning my kitchen, and writing a grocery list. Instead I will blog. Recently someone saw G's cloth diaper peaking out from his pants and skeptically asked if we cloth diaper. My response, with a smile, is of course yes. We've been cloth diapering Graham for more than a year now. When I was pregnant with him, I was brainstorming ways to save money and decided that if I was going to be home with him, I may as well take the plunge and cloth diaper. When I first heard about the cloth diaper trend, I laughed. That was years ago, before I was pregnant or had kids. I just thought it was a hippy trend and lots of extra work. And here I am doing it! Cloth diapering works for us. I know it's not for everyone, and I don't push it on my mom friends (very few of whom are CD'ing). When my friend asked me about it recently she immediately went into full-on defensive 'why we don't cloth diaper and I'm not c
