Awkward/Awesome {fourteen}

Awkward: My 3.5 year old throwing a fit and screaming his way through the store. 

Awesome: The lady in line behind me saying "I totally understand. Is he 3?"

Awesome: My new way out of talking to solicitors is by telling them I am the nanny.

Awkward: Connor coming to me just as I am closing the door yelling, "mama, mama!"

Awesome: When you get popcorn at Target and ask for it to be split in two bags, they pretty much fill up two bags for the price of one. 

Awkward: My kids can't consume that much popcorn. 

Awkward x2: When one of those said kids decides to swing the bag of popcorn while we are driving and cover the inside of my car in popcorn. 

Awesome: I have a carwash membership...hello free vacuums! 

Awkward: The car in front of us breaking down in the In-N-Out drive thru. 

Awesome: Hubby getting out of the car and helping push it thru. And don't you worry, the driver of the broken down car still got his food! 

Awesome: Randomly running into your own husband while at lunch with a friend. 

Awkward: Because I thought he was going to a different restaurant, I bolted out of my seat and across the parking lot to say hi. 

 ** I know the sensible thing would have been to pick up my phone and call him, but I am so not sensible! 

Awesome: Connor sleeping in until 9:30am! That kid never sleeps in. 

Awkward: Isla deciding to wake at 7:30am.

Anything awkward or awesome happen with you lately?

Little Moments Not To Be Forgotten {three}

You will have to pardon me. Now that temperatures are up, it is time for mostly more outside living. So, most of the pictures will be of us living it up in our yard. There you have it.

For all you people out there that love documenting life (I'm thinking you, Heidi), my friend Anna over at Two Cent Sparrow is doing a photo series on instagram with the tag #littlelostmoments. Every week she picks a different hour of the day to capture. I am trying to play along, but am not always the best at it. Anyway, it is a fun way to document life and I think you should participate, or at least check it out. 

Little Moments Not to Be Forgotten {one}

The other day someone asked me if I remember what it was like when Connor was Isla's age. Though I remember bits and pieces, sadly so much of it already has been forgotten...both the hard and fun. Thankfully I really do try to document things both on my blog and through pictures so I can go back and relive the moment. And let me tell you, a picture can instantly take me back to a place, practically like I am reliving it and that makes me so happy. 

Anyway, because of this, I decided I would start a series on my blog - little moments not to be forgotten. Pictures, memories that may seem insignificant, but that I want to remember. So I present to you the first of many little moments not to be forgotten. 

dirty bottoms mean a fun day of play // getting clean in the bath // fast arms // finger painting a present for grammy // bubble gun fun // up against a window // loving her corn // sharing her corn
