he doesn't like to let me get too far away.

and a bonus not that sharp selfie I took of us (ps. tripods or remotes are so handy, and also so easily misplaced! balancing on the pillow/chair and then running while the light blinked proved to not be ideal!!)

he's in the suuuper adorable open-mouthed slobbery kiss stage. I love it.

First part of an assignment dealing with intentional camera movement. Which seems to be quite like today, we never stopped moving it seemed.

And then the moment she laid down "to rest" (but not take a nap, I asked, she vehemently denied that she was going to take a nap), she was fast asleep.

266/365

day two hundred sixty-six.

We spend every Monday night at ballet. While Ellie dances, the boys are stuck waiting.
Waiting usually means playing outside if the weather is nice, like it was today. Owen is usually being wild, he was too wild to even bother being in a picture today. Oh well.

Ellie was rehearsing for her first "recital" tomorrow. I can't wait to see her dance, I never get to watch her lessons because of boy wrangling, so it will be fun!

In the midst of a dreaded commissary run, my favorite thing to do on a Saturday morning for sure, I heard, "Mama! Can we get these funny looking apples??"  They were not fans of pomegranates once they were sliced open and they realized (despite my warnings that it was not really a fruit that was easy to eat) it was really just a bunch of  juicy seeds. At least they made pretty pictures, right?

They discovered the box of dominoes in our math manipulatives box. Little did they know they would become guinea pigs for a workbook project of mine dealing with slow shutter speeds. Win Win for all!

I'm totally coming back as a whippet in my next life. Nothing better to do than keep the bed warm 22 hours of the day, and then they are keeping the couch warm for 1.5 hours...eating for a few minutes and outside rolling in the sunshine for a few more minutes, take a quick zoom around back yard and head back to the bed. What a life.

257/365

day two hundred fifty-seven.

Chicken was missing when Owen left to spend the night at Mimi's. I finally found him (inside the toy washing machine, where so many things end up. Although last week, chicken was hanging out in the toy oven...irony?) Gavin let Owen take his chicken (who Owen calls "Rooster") and I think he did okay without him. Me? I missed them all and may or may not have snuggled with Chicken last night.

migraine totally tried (and mostly succeeded) at ruining today.  kids brought me heaps and heaps of food in bed tonight.  Lots of "soup" and "tea" to make me all better.
