High Five 4 Friday!

1.  This cutie is 10 months today! Holy Moly! 10 Month post update to come later next week.

2.  My loves were playing so well this week together - here's to hoping it lasts!

3.  I'm headed to the River on Sunday evening to be with my hubby, the girls, and both of our parents for the night. 

4.  This is the reason I won't be at the river until Sunday evening. I'm headed to Topsail Beach for the weekend!

5.  Topsail beach with these 3 girls and a bunch of other lovely ladies! We will be celebrating my friend Mary  as she is getting married at the end of June. 

What do you guys have planned on this holiday weekend??

Photo Dump

So, Daniel took some photos of the girls and I on Mother’s Day…well tried to. It’s so hard to get them to sit still, look at the camera, actually look happy and/or content.   Here’s what the series looks like…

Arm chewing and picking at an ear - check!

They both look like they are trying to get away

Better...

Even better of the girls , but me? We won't even go there!

aww Hadleigh...so sad.

You have to be animated when you have kids!

I'm the only one in on this picture

Action shot of a tickle fest!

We thought maybe the sitting on each others laps would work...clearly it didn't

Whew! I’m exhausted looking back on it J It definitely takes a lot for us to get a good picture out of everyone – where everyone is looking at the camera.  I love all of these pictures for different reasons. Although we aren’t looking and smiling in the pictures, we had fun on this day and are living it up! 

May is For Moms - An Interview with my Child(ren)

This week I attempted to interview Hadleigh.  Her imagination is running WILD these days, so you never know what the heck she is going to come up with.   I didn’t really get much out of her…

What is your favorite thing that you and I do together? Toys

What is something important I have taught you that you will always remember? (i.e. Be nice to everyone, Always make your bed, etc.) I had to ask this a little different and give an example of sharing with her sister.  She repeated me pretty much by saying "Share my toys" and then proceeded to tell me that Hayden hit her head and then they had to go to the hospital.  The girl loves the doctor and wants to go to the hospital any chance she gets. For the record, Hayden did not hit her head and we did not go to the hospital.

What is your most special memory about me? play with toys and play with my tea party

What is something nice I always say to you? I don’t know (she was over the questions by now)  I always always praise her.  I make sure I tell her how pretty she is, how smart she is, and what a good job she is doing.  It’s a tough world we live in, so I’m, really big on making sure she has self-confidence.

How are you and I the same? How are we different?  I don’t know.

I know it wasn’t too much of an interview, but I will cherish the answers she said. I love playing toys with her!
