`It's been a long snow weekend here in NC. Mostly we ate Cheez-its and pancakes and oreos and pizza...but in between all the eating we played:
Ash is in this phase where she doesn't mind causing a mess; she just doesn't like getting caught up in it. Seeing paint on her apron really had her flummoxed:
I know this picture doesn't portray much playing - but for some reason I will always be a sucker for eyelashes. And feet. Eyelashes and feet.
This is the sweet outfit that once belonged to me (or maybe my sister?). A little red and ric-rac outfit handmade with love by Mom. Isn't she the cutest? You have to ignore the Roseanne Barr-ish keep-the-couch-clean blanket that we sometimes keep on the furniture (and that I forget to move before taking pictures, sigh). She also has Mommy's childhood habit of sucking her fingers:
Evyn wore this same outfit several years ago (note the same blanket thrown over the couch):
Do you ever blog in your head? Around the house, while cooking, or shopping, or doing some other mundane thing? I do. These "posts" usually don't make it to the blog. Recently, though, I've been mentally cataloging a list of images that depict a running theme. I've started photographing them and I have a small collection--they're things we've handed down. If you're a parent, you notice and muse about these things, too, I'm sure. But I want to capture it here. So from time to time you'll see them posted. Maybe you can appreciate them; maybe they'll wind up being posts only this mother could love...Either way, I want my girls to have them.
Things We've Handed Down: Toes
Both of my girls have my big toe. Crazy. Eighteen months combined in pregnancy and the thanks I get? They came out looking like their father. But they have my long fingers and big, spoon-shaped toe, which, actually originally came from my mother. You can't really see our spoon toes here, but I love this picture of the Toesies game we play.
