bits about us: and the Christmas catalog

These two.

Out of curiosity, I put this out the other day...wondering what might happen.

And of course, it didn't take long before there was more marker than paper showing...

Between the two of them, that is.

bits about us: at the table

Now, let me just preface by saying, Ross was (and still is) an eater. Of course she's skeptical, and vegetables are the last thing on her list, but she'll eat...

Gram, however...takes it up a few notches.

That little saying, "He'll eat you out a house and home!" I just brushed off.
Surely they mean when they're in high school...maybe middle school...

Wrong.
Way wrong.

This particular bowl of ice cream was only after a granola bar, 2 snack cups of teddy grahams, 1 snack cup of goldfish, a squeezie, an entire english muffin, half of a turkey and cheese sandwich, a good portion of hummus and several cups of milk...

I'm really not sure what we're getting into here,
but, I sure hope we're making more money by the time he's in high school...
Wait. Scratch that...middle school.

bits about us: in the kitchen

One of the best things about having a four year old, is that they can finally cook!

And, I don't mean just sprinkle sprinkles and cut out cookies...I mean really cook!

Cooking has always been one of my most favorite memories as a child...and doing it with your own really takes it to a whole new level.

In fact, it's times like these where I can kinda see myself a little bit...

hahaha...yeah, totally.

little bits of us... at the computer

Having a girl the first go-around never, not for one second, prepared me for a boy...

My first was timid in "dangerous" situations and was most often pretty compliant. I never had to worry about what she was climbing on or sticking in her mouth. 

No, she was too worried about what skirt she needed to put on or what bag she needed to fill.

This one, however, has much more of a carefree type attitude about things...where what he's wearing just so happens to be the least of his worries...

and the word "busy" is an understatement.

I'm learning, though...something I feel sure I'll be doing the rest of my life.

And well, you know...he's become a pretty darn fun teacher.

bits about us... at the pumpkin patch

I've gotten obsessed with pictures at the pumpkin patch. I missed it only one year since we've had kids, and I can't tell you how much I've regretted it.

My first couple of years, I wanted so much to have sweet, little posed pictures.
You know, the ones with clean faces and unstained clothes...

but these days, I'm happy just to get then in the same shot.

And you know...

that's pretty much okay.
