self portrait tuesday #10
our day consists of (but is rarely limited to): drawing, snacking, coloring, giggling, reading, movie-watching (which inevitably leads to more snacking), wiggly-wiggling, dancing, alphabet letter-writing, playing, ball-throwing, booboo-getting, crying, pouting, bug-spotting, singing, idea-having, mess-making, naked-running, painting, dawdling, drum-beating, whistle-blowing, collage-making, discovering, noise-making, playdough-squishing, and (well, all that activity makes a kid hungry) so, more snacking. and the most important of all: the fine art of bubblegum-blowing.
let me also state for the record that in NO WAY are we able to fit all this into one day. the faves are in heavy rotation, though and we are making the rounds, people. everyday. everyday.
mommy is a tired girl.
strangely enough ... she looks like my Ava there ... they are such beautiful girls ... we are so everlovin' blessed,aren't we!?
ReplyDeleteLove.
ReplyDeleteIt.
I am jealous of your "ings"
Makes me want to quit my job and work at home. Of course with all that you mention going on, I'll never get any real work done. I'd want to blow bubbles all day.
ReplyDeletePop!
I LOVE IT!! You are so cool and so is that little girl of yours! What a fun picture. I love all the shades of pink that show up in the photo. Cool.
ReplyDeleteat least you have your priorities straight! and that dawdling takes up so much time.....but it's so fun to dawdle isn't it?
ReplyDeletesounds good to me! much better than what i'm doing! :) what a fun mom [even if you are tired!]
ReplyDeleteHi Ava! Good luck learning how to blow bubble gum bubbles! Tell your mommy to measure how big they are in inches.
ReplyDeletethis looks like so much fun, i can't wait to be a mom someday :)
ReplyDeletei love that pic. you sound like a great mom! I feel like such a slacker since i have been pregnant, I don't really organize activities... I just kinda let him play and play with him sometimes... we also are pretty much confined to one room and no table or anything to color on right now- but that will soon be over! YAY!
ReplyDeletecute! sounds a bit like our days, just add in a few more whinings, and take away the alphabet writings. of course there's always time for naked running!
ReplyDeleteCould you guys be cuter?
ReplyDeleteI loved loved loved reading this list of things that you and your little ones spend the day doing. You are such an amzazing mama! What a fab bubble you two have got there.
ReplyDeletethis is such a gorgeous photo. and a beautiful slice of life. thank you.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, know what you mean, .... *sigh*
ReplyDeleteWhat a FABULOUS photo! Sounds like fun to me!
ReplyDeletethanks, all. your comments here often get me through the day!
ReplyDeletela vie en rose- thanks for stopping by... always nice to see ne 'faces' (ha)...
slim- yes, I think ava does look a little bit like your ava in this pic! and yes, we are SOOOO everlovin' blessed. (thanks for that gentle reminder).
ward- as much as I would love to have you at home with me all the time, you would NEVER, EVER (ever) get anything done.
molly- you're so sweet... the pink throughout the rest of the pic was a happy accident.
jan- dawdle... isn't that one of those words that sounds exactly like what it is...
zabs- you have every right to be a slacker! you're pregnant! when I when i was pregnant with ezra, ava did a lot of playing on our own and I always felt so bad about that... but sometimes you just have to do what you can to get through, you know? I know you're a fab mommy!
madness riviera- thanks so much for stopping by...!
