Life Lately

Sorry for the radio silence around here! The kids have been wearing me out. And we’ve been busy. Not with anything in particular, just regular life, you know? Between making a meal, cleaning up after a meal, playing, changing diapers, wiping noses, and breaking up fights, the days just fly by. Anyone else?

A friend recently asked me how I take such beautiful photos of my kids all the time. And I sort of laughed. Because yes, the photo is always beautiful because it’s of my kids, but their behavior isn’t always pretty. I typically take at least a 100 photos in order to get one good one. Most of my photos look like this.

We’ve been going a little stir crazy lately. Just when we thought it was FINALLY spring and warming up a little bit….

We got hit with a major snow and ice storm. I mean. I am SO OVER this winter. Playing outside in the snow is fun, but I’m ready for some warmer weather. And I’m ready to not have to bundle the kids up multiple times a day.

This girl doesn’t seem to mind. Watching her try and walk in Sadie’s old Hunter boots is my FAVORITE.

I’ve been trying to make the best of the cold weather. But if a little sunshine and 60 degree temps could start coming our way I wouldn’t complain one bit. Hudson starts soccer this week (hopefully!) and I really want to be able to watch him play without freezing my booty off,  you know?  So that’s a little glimpse into our life lately!

It’s her comfort position. And I’ve found myself documenting it with a picture or a note on my phone every chance I get, just in case it’s the last time. Babies don’t keep. But I will keep this memory forever.
