66/365: Lefty artists

Now that we have two little dudes, it is rare that we can both just sit and play with Sam but tonight we were lucky. A leftover dinner made for an easy clean-up and Luke took his usual early evening catnap so we were able to hang out in Sam's playroom. It is no surprise that hubby has a bit of an artistic flare and does a pretty amazing job copying almost any character and tonight it was Curious George. Sam loved it! After a quick google search, interestingly enough, DaVinci, Michaelangelo and Rembrant were all left-handed...wow!
Thank goodness for lefty artists

65/365: Playdoh

There is nothing like a lazy, rainy Sunday filled with games, puzzles and our all time favorite, playdoh! I am continuing to practice with depth of field and various camera settings that I learned in my introductary SLR class. I love how you see Sam's busy hands in the background. Thank goodness for playdoh

64/365: Curbside parking

Taking Sam for a haircut this afternoon, we came across this interesting park job! One tire on the curb, the other in the air...looks like someone thought they were in Dukes of Hazard! Thank goodness for "curbside" parking

63/365: Vaccines

So today was spent mostly giving TLC to one poor 4 month old :(

Luke had his well visit and even splitting up his vaccinations didn't help his body's reaction to them. He was quite cranky for a good bit of the day except for a brief 40 minute walk outside and any time spent on his changing table. Hopefully some tylenol and he will be back to himself in a day or so. The tears and discomfort are an awful reaction but in the long run.....thank goodness for vaccines

62/365: Target

Oh how I LOVE Target! I can't go there without spending at least $100. I love the frames, clothes, stationary, how the aisles are arranged, the pantry section...you name it, I love it! I am always looking for a reason to go there, but the only trouble is that I am not working while I am home with the baby these next months...this may be my last red bullseye bag in our house for a little while :( In the meantime, I will miss you...Thank goodness for Target

61/365: Spring-like days

Today the sun was shining and even with a chill in the air, you can tell that spring is just around the corner! Between eating and sleeping it was hard to get out with Luke for a walk today so when Sam came home from school at 4:00, he hopped on his bike and practiced riding. We need to work on keeping our eyes forward when pedaling...thank goodness for these spring-like weather days

60/365: Late night library fun

So in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday, our local library held a party which was a blast for Sam-I-Am! At 6:00 p.m. I told Sam it was time to go and his response, "But it's dark outside!?!" He was so confused why were going out in the evening but boy was he pleasantly surprised! Older children read to younger ones, they danced to music, hopped on bubble wrap (like Hop on Pop) completed a wacky hat craft activity and the best part for the kiddos, enjoying a cupcake and juice after singing happy birthday to Dr. Seuss! Sam loved every minute, especially having older girls read to him. Such a ladies man! I just love his sweet, mischievous smile in this shot even though I was looking to capture more of a candid one. Thank goodness for late night library fun
