Decisions, decisions.

Best photo or best moment? Biggest life change, or biggest accomplishment?

Here is my daughter's preschool graduation "get up". It was a "Hollywood" party. She got her Preschool Diploma. All together now.

Awwwww....

I think we'll need another one of those too. In the very wee hours of the morning, my newest nephew was born.

Welcome to the world, chunker! 9lb 14oz, exactly what I predicted he would be late last night in a text. Oh the fun of birth and babies!

Besides being my "Ten Year "together" Anniversary", today was my son's field trip. I had the pleasure to go along, as well as my two younger ones. It was very very busy, but so much fun, as usual.

And yet again, left me with a feeling of pleasure and love for his school and teacher. I adore the atmosphere we engage in with our community.

This was William getting his "face painting". I am not sure how or why he chose his arm, but he did.

It was raining last night. Which was really weird, I didn't expect it at all considering yesterday was more than 80 degrees and I was running the air conditioner in my car. But, nevertheless, that's how it goes these days and I shouldn't be surprised.

The ground was covered with snails this morning as I was leaving, so I thought it would be fun to grab my camera while Robert snailed his own way to the car.

Turns out, he wanted to play too. He grabbed the snail and threw it as hard as he could, about three feet into the bush, while I was trying to take the photo. Rawni looked about ready to cry. Fortunately, I could see the snail and he was not hurt in the process. Phew.

This is just the kids library basket for the week. It doesn't include all of the checkouts my husband and I have around the house.

I think we should take up stock in the library here.

I am having the toughest time balancing life right now. I am keeping up on household duties, babysitting children and all of that, but photography and blogging are falling on the back burner.

I refuse to give up though.

The kids both helped with dinner tonight. We had Chicken Carbonara, which has been one of my favorite foods for a while. It also is a killer leftover lunch. ; )

While we were making dinner, I had the spaghetti noodles in a pile and decided to show them how to play pick up sticks with them. Don't worry, they washed their hands!

I babysat a really long day today. I also got a lot of cleaning done in between. Somehow my house fell apart again this week when I wasn't looking. Which is probably what it's doing right now playing catch up here...

Anyways, I bribed the kids and told them that if they picked up at least 10 pieces of garbage each out back they could have a popsicle. There were some old sand toys that had gotten broken and things mostly Rawni had gotten into and dragged around the yard.

I also did a bunch of yard work. It was a very busy and very successful day.

I wish I hadn't been so lazy with my camera today. I had several photo opportunities that would have been adorable, but I was too lazy and tired to deal with it. Plus, I need to figure out where I left my flash.

Anyways, this is the girls, again, at the park for play. We stayed for a few hours.

For dinner, Robert polished off about 8 slices of watermelon. Totally would have been an adorable shot to show you all the rinds.

But, my favorite part of the day was spending five hours in the hot tub with Laura. Will got home just in time to take the kids out and put them to bed, then it was mommy chat time. I can't believe how long we stayed or how fast it went. He even brought us water, with a hand towel over his shoulder to wipe our hands, and some cupcakes I had made earlier that evening.

Living the life...

I refuse to give up though.

This past weekend when I visited my mom's, she offered to keep my daughter for a few days to play with hers (both of them are four year's old).

Originally, I wasn't going to take her up on it. The drive is killer and with gas prices, it just gets me. To make it worth the money and time she needs to stay for a few days. Besides that, I had several other reasons for not pushing it. But that morning my daughter was telling me how much she wanted to sleep there, so I let her pack her clothes and stay.

Today, one of my best friends was willing to make the dreaded drive with me and enjoy chatting there and back (at least three hours in the car together). It was sooo nice of her, and meant a lot to me.

On the way home, we stopped at my favorite Chinese place for lunch. Not only do I love their food, but it was all you can eat lunch buffet for $6.95. We ate all that they served and never asked for more it was so filling. It was also so yummy. I can't wait to go again already.

There are two extras for Rawni and Robert. : ) In order these belonged to: Robert, Laura, Myself, Rawni.

Today I deep vacuumed my house.

It sounds silly, but I really enjoy a clean house. It lifts my attitude and spirits and considering it is falling apart in a lot places, I feel the need to keep it up more so to completely enjoy it. Which is something I have been working really hard on.

Now, they really need a deep cleaning...

By dinnertime I still hadn't taken a photo for the day. Will's friend works North of us and was passing through. He had wanted to stop for pizza but Will was already home cooking dinner, so I insisted he enjoy it with us. So, he did.

You may also notice my daughter missing. She is staying with Grandma. I pick her up tomorrow morning, and boy, have I missed her! Cooking just isn't the same without her, you know?

Today I was super duper lazy. That's not completely true. I woke up busting my butt with dishes and laundry and so on.

It has been rainy and there haven't been much opportunity for photos.

I remembered to take a photo, then I forgot. Then when I remember it was super late and I was tired. I was lacking all creativity even looking around the house. So, I asked Will to bring me my camera and I snapped a shot of this. Our "typical" movie night.

We watched A Single Man, ate Popcorn and while the previews were on, I finished up responding to a few emails that had come in on my phone. Oh, and poked away on Facebook. ; )

Today I spent the day with my mommy for Mother's Day. I knew I missed her. But. wow. I did not know how much.

It was so nice to relax, chat and enjoy my mommy's cooking. She made us fried chicken for dinner. As if that wasn't enough. I got to take him the entire leftovers. Which is pretty much everything you see here. I have been munching on it the past few days, and boy is it yummy.

Thanks mama! You're the best!

What I find most funny about this photo is the fact that it is only the second or third time he's bathed in the sink. But I was feeling tired and lazy and he had made a disaster of his lunch (or was it dinner? It's already gotten blurry).

He thought this was fun. I, however, think it's just as easy to bathe him in the bath. I got more wet here in the sink that I do reaching over the bathtub.

This isn't the first time you have seen these cuties, and it certainly won't be the last.

Rawni and one her besties.

We played at the park today for several hours. I got my first sunburn. But, I also got to enjoy some nice chatting and company. I'd say it was more than worth it. : )

We helped in my son's class today. I brought the camera (like always), but it is hard to capture shots that are fun and not an invasion of privacy for posting on my blog. I always ask permission before I post other children. Therefore, I chose this one because it doesn't show any faces.

Robert was/is the big man on campus when we visit. There is normally daycare for him while I help in the class. Today it wasn't open. So, he stayed in the classroom with me the whole time. He kept playing with the teacher and several times I looked around for him and he was in another mom's lap. Have I mentioned my admiration for my son's school? I couldn't be more pleased. The community, the environment, the teachers, the principal, I haven't met a single person there yet that I didn't adore.
