iPhone Photo Drop

 

It’s that time again – time to share some of my beloved iPhone photos.  These are some of my favorite pictures that I take because they are unplanned, usually unposed, “just because” pictures that pretty much sum up life around here.  The picture above is the kids wanting to help me with dinner.  Or rather, it’s Clare trying to help me with dinner and Sammy trying to do whatever Clare is doing.  There is some messy, cluttery house behind them, both kids have runny noses, and both are wearing shirts that Clare picked out (she’s in a serious striped phase right now).  It’s the pure sweetness of those two, wanting to be wherever I am, doing whatever I am doing, which drives me nuts on a daily basis but I also know that I’ll miss it terribly when they don’t want to anymore.
 

Here’s a few more pictures left from Christmas.  I love this picture of Sammy and Grandma.  Sammy loves to be held and snuggled and he also holds onto your shirt when you hold him. 

Santa Claus brought this wagon for Clare and Sam, and the kids loved it.  Debbie won the “good sport” aware when she literally pulled the wagon, loaded with various combinations of children, toys and books, through the house for an hour.  Yes, one hour of circling the wagon through the living room, the dining room, the kitchen, cutting through the family room, and then through the double doors back into the living room. 


 
We love our dress up costumes!  Clare’s wearing her beloved Peter Pan hat, a tutu, and is wrestling with brave Sammy Lion.  
 

We take our art projects very seriously around here.

 

 

We’ve had lots of outings this month to the Children’s Museum and the Science Museum.  Sammy is just getting to be old enough to be able to participate in all of the “big kid” activities instead of just hanging in the baby area.  The kids love the activities, and I love getting out of the house and not being obligated to entertain the kids. 

 
 
 
 

 

At OMSI, Clare’s favorite place to visit is the faucet at the Grossology exhibit.  She is very interested obsessed with this faucet – bringing it up in conversation regularly.  She says that she isn’t scared by him, but she’s a little bit intrigued by the “faucet with the drippy nose.” 

 
But, while running around is good, staying put at home is nice too.  Sometimes sleepy mornings, reading books in our jammies, is the best way to go.
