friday phone dump

March is here, and marching right along.

On Saturday, we made a cake for Ryan's birthday. 



Mia smothered her brother.  
He survived.
Barely.


On Sunday, I washed the sheets.
Which means they jumped on the bed.





Mia sat still enough long enough for her first french braids.


And we celebrated this guy's birthday.



On Monday, I paid bills while drinking coffee and holding a baby.
Probably not the best spot for my cup of coffee.
I moved it once I realized how dangerous it looked sitting there.


On Tuesday, Mia gave Noah shots in his hand.
And listened to his heart.
And prodded his eyes and ears.


She also took control of her wardrobe choices.


It was just a pink kind of day.




On Wednesday, more sisterly love.
It doesn't look like it here, but this boy really does love his smothering sister.
He lights up when he sees her.
Even if she puts her fingers in his mouth.


He also really likes his feet.



This girl eluded the camera most of the week.
On Thursday, we had a tea party.
After many, many interruptions over the span of an hour,
I did finally sit with her to eat Fig Newtons and drink "tea."


I may have stepped outside for a few minutes in the afternoon
to breathe fresh air
while everyone inside the house was either whining or crying.


His foot is just cute.


And that, dear friends, was our week.
Good night.

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.
