Let's Pretend...

this picture was taken on the first day of preschool instead of the sixth day of preschool. I did manage to take a quick one on the first day of school, but it didn't turn out like I wanted. So this is what we got on the sixth day after he had already gone to preschool. :)

Hallelujah! Mom is finally done taking pictures.

Favorites and Not So Favorites

Some favorites...

• my baby's sweet laugh
• that my 2 year old will pretty much eat whatever I make for dinner
• how much my 4 year old loves preschool
• the funny things my 2 year old says
• my husband taking Friday off and then spending the day working in the yard and watching the kids (he really is the BEST)
• after my 4 year old made his baby sister laugh, he said, "I love being a big brother."
• girls night out
• lunch w/my sister in law for her birthday
• the way my baby cuddles under my chin right before I lay her in bed
• homemade oreo cookies (not good to have around when trying to lose weight, but they are a favorite still)
  

Some not so favorites...

• my 4 year old scowling through most of the primary program on Sunday
• my 2 year old's ear piercing scream (it happens when she's mad and when she is having fun and playing w/her brother)
• that my baby is growing up so fast
  
• that my 4 year old complains about everything I make for dinner
  

Labor Day

We finally did something fun on a holiday instead of doing yard work or house work. We went up to Mt. Charleston and had so much fun. The weather was so beautiful, 70 degrees! We had a way too expensive lunch at the lodge and then went on a little walk. (We will definitely bring our own lunch next time.)

Luke wanted to climb a mountain. They made it about a third of the way and then Luke was done. I think they had more fun walking back to the van and seeing some lizards running around.

This is just to show that I do sometimes have my picture taken with my children.
