Things

 

(Pictures from this past weekend with the inlaws at the Oregon Coast)

- I just ate 2 Drumsticks.  If you just pictured a chicken leg instead of a chocolate filled, chocolate and peanut coated ice cream treat- well, gross.  And you should know better.

- I am contemplating a third.  No Caitlin! BAD! Bad girl! But maybe?

- I got a bit of a sunburn from my Memorial Day weekend at the beach . 

And I know it is SO BAD for you to get burned, and I know that it ages you and I am usually really great about sunblock and embracing my whiteness, but MAN!  A tan looks sooooo much better you guys!  Why, society, why have you brainwashed me?

- Brian laid down for a nap after the boys went to bed, intending to wake up about 30 minutes later to watch Madmen with me. 

I just made an entirely half-hearted attempt to wake him, which he refused, and I happily left.  I love my husband, but sometimes a quiet evening with a book sounds just lovely too.

- And by book I mean dinking around on Facebook first.

- Every day I forget I am pregnant for some amount of time. Sometimes hours.

Usually a kick reminds me, but today it was when I glanced down and thought Woah Caitlin!  Suck it in girl! Before realizing that…well…I can’t. 

So bring on the Drumsticks-yes?

- Why is it every night when they are in bed and I am looking at pictures of the boys I am all choked up with love for them, but every day at about 1pm I am giddy with relief to chuck them into their nap beds?

- This evening I had a few minutes of free time with just Joseph and I had to choose between putting away some laundry that had been staring at me since 7 am and doing something with him instead. 

And I chose the laundry. 

In the back of my mind I was thinking- I might regret this some day! Savor every moment!- and the like, but c’mon man.

Sometimes the laundry just has to be put away.

- Well, I am off to the freezer…to…check on…something…?

Pictures full of love and joy. I'm so happy to pop over and see all these wonderful pictures :)

So funny about the ice cream!! Since you don't like breads or rice during this pregnancy, I don't see the harm in THREE! And....your own mother would totally have chosen the laundry too! THEN maybe a book or an art project with the boy!

Great photos - seems like a wonderful family outing. I hope the bronchitis is all better - at least drumsticks can make it seem better even if not.

Oh, and I am charmed that Isaac lays like his dad to be like him. Naughty charming fellow - you have your hands full!

Yes .. your freezer is making a weird noise. Better go check it out.

I knew what Drumsticks you meant.

You can choked up with love when looking at pictures because they are not making noise then. :)
