Moma Remedy Monday {take 4}

Sorry I missed a few Mondays... but I am prepared today!

We saw this sign as we drove to the top of Pike's Peak during our trip to Colorado. The text reads:
"Due to sightings in the area of a creature resembling 'Big Foot' this sign has been posted for your safely."

I made Curt back up so I could take a picture!

Good to know our state parks have a sense of humor.

Colleen on the way home. We left at 4 AM and arrived in College Station at 7:30 PM. This was more than half way through. We were all a bit crazy by that point!

Katherine watching the rain before gymnastics.

Katherine and her friends with shorts on their heads. You can't say they lack creativity...

Jonathan stole my phone to document the action on the ground...

this isn't very recent, but I reprinted it yesterday so I could stick it in a frame. I just love it... it's hard to get everyone to look sweet at the same time, but I think I nailed it on this one.

Momma Remedy Monday {take 3}

I don't know what was happening here... but I'm sure someone had a sly smile while it happened.

hot summer afternoon full of lego playing

threw them out of the house to wash the car at 8:30 am.
Do you think I could get away with this every morning?

This is Emelie's "Emelie and Jonathan surrender flag" to be used at the end of arguments. Someday I might just hire her for some logo design.

Played chess with Katherine. We had no idea what we were doing...

but it didn't matter...

because anything with Katherine is fun!

Momma Remedy Monday {take 2}

Found Katherine rocking Colleen to sleep with her bunny and soccer ball. She was singing Jingle Bells to her.
















See the tiny pink egg down there? Some mommy bird made this nest inside Emelie's boot that was sitting on the porch. The next day the egg was gone.

This is a photo I took and submitted to a Pioneer Woman contest with the theme of "Joy". It didn't win, but it did garner several very nice compliments!

Jonathan helping Colleen roll her Curious George today during lunch. "One, Two, Three..." and George rolls under the table in the baby stroller.

Sweet Colleen zonked after a long car ride. There's not much sweeter than that!

Momma Remedy Monday

I've decided to start a new series... Momma Remedy Mondays.

'Cause I don't like Monday's. And sometimes being the Momma around here makes me crazy... when things are really loud, messy, stinky or sloppy.

But, I've found, that when I take photos of my kids, looking through that lens really makes me focus (cliche, I know, but it's true).

I focus on THEM. How cute they are... how small... how funny... how their hair has grown since last week... how those pants are getting too small... those photos make me focus on the good.

So, I'm going to share my Momma Remedies with you, and maybe you'll do the same!

Here are this weeks' shots (all from my iphone... thus the superb quality!:))

Jonathan's maze...

Jonathan Jumping...

Stick horse racing in heels...

found a sippy cup in the linen closet...

Jonathan's lego star wars light saber with a Polly Pocket high heel on then end. Found on the kitchen floor.
