The Outtakes

When I started this blog, I never really thought about the fact that I would have to have my picture taken almost every day.

About 90% of the time, that duty of “cameraman” falls on my husband. He is a brilliant, wonderful husband and I love him so much, but there are times that he would rather be doing something else other than taking my picture. I totally understand.

During those times, he just snaps away hoping he’ll get a good one.

These are some of the outtakes that occur because of that.

And I just needed an excuse to remind you of what a nerd I really am. 😉

Looks like I’m gonna pass out and fall over. Ha!

He really enjoys continuously snapping pictures until I reach my camera.

And almost every day at least one of my children has to wiggle their way into the picture somehow.

This one was actually one I had Liam take before my friend Jenny took over.

Feel free to add a caption to this one. Ridiculous.

Sometimes when you’re too busy taking a picture, your child decides to climb up on top of the picnic table.

Make A Graphic T-Shirt Work Appropriate

It’s so easy to make a graphic t-shirt work appropriate by just adding a blazer, sleek skirt and heels. And don’t forget to top it off with some red lips and classy accessories.

Now I wouldn’t wear this if I worked in a courtroom, but it’s totally appropriate for a school setting.

Plus I think my middle schoolers will get a kick out of my Princess Leia tee. 🙂

We started the morning off super lazy. Did some reading practice on starfall.com.

Read some books in bed. Am I the only one who gets immense pleasure out of reading “Green Eggs & Ham” as fast as they can? I’m looking to set a world record.

My incredibly not-spontaneous husband suggested we take a last-minute trip up to Julian, a lovely mountain town about an hour away from us. We went in search of snow.

Unfortunately there was no snow, but it was cooooooooold. We spent time walking around tiny bookstores.

Tried on some silly hats.

Got a whole apple pie and ate straight out of the pan. That’s always been a dream of mine. I guess I can check that off my bucket list now.

Lollipops are an excellent way of keeping little ones quiet on long car drives. 😉

When we got home, my husband’s real estate license was there waiting for us. Yahoo!

And while the kids napped, I snuck over to the gym to go running.

It was an absolutely perfect day and the best part was…our potty-training-two-year-old went the entire day with no accidents. Woot! Consider me one happy mama.
