this moment...

And yet again ~ a little late, but better late than never...

This moment (inspired by Soulemama) A Friday ritual.  A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week.  A simple, special, extraordinary moment.  A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.


ladies man

Consignment shopping rocks.  Consignment shopping online - even better!  So many boy things are boring and not a whole lot of fun... which made this awesome find even better!  "GET IN LINE, LADIES"  Love it!!!  And the best part - it was $4.  So thank you to the mama who passed on a fabulous deal and thank you to Gap for making what I think are the cutest baby/kid clothes ever.  And without further adieu, my adorable little ladies man...





a treat for Ethan AND for Mommy!

I'm a little obsessed with Our Best Bites.  They seriously have the yummiest recipes!  They also have the best recipes for 'Kids in the Kitchen'.  A few months ago we made slime and it was a huge hit with Ethan and his cousin.  So when I happened upon this recipe for edible playdough I could not resist - it was the perfect Sunday afternoon craft.  And it was delicious.  We're talking peanut butter fudge delicious.  We're talking I had to force myself to let Ethan play with it delicious.  Or maybe I was just hungry?  Hmmmm, nope it was just yummy!  The first thing Ethan made was a snow-peanut butter-man.  The only bad part was that we had to keep Layni away from the fun because she had a mild allergic reaction to peanut butter when she was exposed, luckily is was just a skin reaction, but I still didn't want a repeat (at least until we see an allergist and they give us the go ahead on PB for the little miss!).  




Ethan captured his 'snow'man on film all by himself!  I'll have to share his version when I upload them...

 Layni didn't understand why she couldn't take pictures too... 

Layni found something to occupy her time while E played with the playdough!

Daddy made mommy some yummy nachos to compliment the peanut butter play dough... time to work out??

gone fishin'

Fishing 'season' is upon us!  Ok, I don't really know when fishing season starts, or even if there is an actual season, and to be honest I don't care.  Neither does Ethan.  He just loves to fish!  It really doesn't even matter if he catches anything, that definitely adds some excitement, but does not make a successful outing.  Tonight we broke out the jogging stroller and Scott grabbed a hot dog (bait) and we were on our way.  Up the hill from our home to the farm and pond we traveled.  It was a perfect evening for a walk and Layni loved getting out in the fresh air - even if she didn't get to join in the fishing.  I nearly left my camera behind but at the last minute couldn't resist grabbing it.  I am so glad I did!

Sometimes I just can't help myself....

 ...when I get a new shirt (on clearance + 30% off!) I have to get Layni all dressed up and take a few pics, lol.
