Tell me what you think--although I'm holding strong at "AWESOME!"

PS If you are in San Diego and want aweeeeeesome pictures, look her up. Yeah, I'm talking to YOU!

Did you know?

Did you know that if you are six years old and wish hard enough, it (sort of) snows in Hawaii?





Did you know that we leave for our Washington vacation in 33 days?

Did you know Kate has never ever been colder than 65 degrees?

Did you know that Colin says everything is "boring"?



Did you know that if you squeeze your eyes tight enough to pretend to be taking a nap, moms are always fooled?



Did you know that Blake is coming home from Japan tomorrow?

Did you know I'm probably going to jump him in the airport?

Did you know every time I think about Colin's freckles I have to kiss them?



Did you know this is Kate's favorite book?



Well? Did you?

Saving the world, one backyard at a time.

Cape found here. We also have this one.

Kids dressed as food? Yes, please.

Colin's school had their annual Thanksgiving play. Seriously? You want to die because of the cuteness of these costumes, right? Yeah, me too.











*Colin was asparagas. Go Colin!

How To Make Kids Laugh

Say "I'm going to take your picture in 5 seconds. 5, 4......9, 27, 143"





I swear to you--it works every time.

*I have more posts coming up. But today I worked out and never showered and I smell like armpits.

We might just be the cutest ever.

*if anyone has to know, we were making a "kid sandwich" by mushing them together. According to Colin, he is turkey and Kate is cheese.

My Halloween is not PC.

I was making these little "mummy" hot dogs and halfway through wrapping them it occurred to me....

...doesn't it look like I just made a bunch of little terrorists?



"What's up Aamir?"

"I don't know Quasid! The white woman is going to COOK us! I'm freaking out!"



*do pictures of uncooked hot dogs and dough make you feel a little sick too?

You Shot Me!

Things that happened at our family photo shoot:

1. Our brilliant photographer got a taste of the part of paradise they don't tell you about. The traffic.

2. Blake licked the side of my face.

3. We played peek-a-boo under a blanket while tourists stared. Dumb tourists.

4. I laughed so hard my stomach hurt.

5. I wore a flannel shirt in 90 degree weather with 9,000,000% humidity.

6. We sweated. A lot.

7. The session ended with both of my children butt naked in the ocean.

Awesome.

*Okay this is my plug for YOU to have your family pictures taken. There are TONS of photographers out there. Email me--tell me where you live and I will find one for you. Get your pictures taken. Go outside and have fun. Even if your husband licks your face and you laugh so hard you have a double chin and maybe pee your pants a little.

**Do it.

Dear Sad Readers of this Blog,

I suck. I'm sorry. SiteMeter says there are still a few depressed readers that still stop by this place. I can't imagine why. For you--I apologize. I'll try to get something fantastic up soon.

For now, want to see some vacation* pictures?

















*is it still a "vacation" with two old people who only talk about food and have to have constant bathroom breaks? Yeah, ask me the story about the "NO RESTROOMS!!!" lava walk. Yikes.
