pictures, pictures, so many pictures

Is it even necessary to say, "I take a lot of pictures" ? Probably not.  Sometimes I don't know what to do with them.  Some go on Instagram, some go here, some live indefinitely on my phone.  And yes I'm talking just about phone pics here because my "big girl" camera took a whopping 50-something photos in the past couple months.  I'm thinking I need to do something about that.  But right now, I need to do something with these pictures.

So, here are all the random phone pics from February that I haven't posted already.  At least I don't think they've been posted yet.  Apologies if there are any repeats.  With this many, you can't really expect me to keep them all straight. 

 Cousins!!!

 Maverick stayed the night with us.  These two are best friends.

 I changed a lot of diapers.

 We ate ice cream outside.  In February.  Such confusing weather this year.

 Direct quote from Mia:  "I not sitting on him.  I just standing here."

 Harper the walrus.

 This is the day she decided to wake up at 5:45,

so it makes perfect sense to rest on a pile of rocks in the sunshine.

And then we finally got some rain, so we had to jump in muddle puddles of course.

And sometimes, you get so excited about the rain that you insist you "Really, really, really want to go outside."  And you insist on wearing a rain coat, and boots, and mittens.  So your momma spends 15 minutes getting everyone zipped and hooded and mittened.  And you run outside and, in 90 seconds, you realize it's also really, really windy and cold (just like your mom said it was), and you come back inside and have hot chocolate and marshmallows.  Or really, just marshmallows and leave the hot chocolate in the mug. 

Is 34 pictures too many?  Probably. Though I'm not sorry.
