Daily Diary – June 30 2010

Fair warning: this post has a LOT of photos. Even more than my usual many. So if you don’t like seeing a ton of photos of my two boys, feel free to skip it. (having said that, if you don’t like seeing my boys, you’ve likely long stopped visiting my blog.)

I got home at 2:30am last night from the movie and wasn’t even tired. So, of course, this morning, I was. Tired and grouchy and cranky and so much more. I yelled, threatened, whined, sulked. And yet. My kids were mostly unfazed. Bless them. I captured tons of hugs, laughter and love so I wanted to post it all mostly to remind myself that even I can’t get in the way of their joy (not that I should be trying to, I need to be on better behavior.)

love.

He’s trying so hard to make Nathaniel laugh.

and succeeds easily.

he kisses him.

watches him.

hugs him.

hugs him some more.

and he hugs back in spades.

my toothless boy.

laughing together.

Nathaniel discovered a drawer full of plastic cutlery and has been playing with them nonstop. He gets very focused.

In the afternoon, we took out some time and all 3 of us played legos. It was really wonderful.

And then there was more hugging.

And I am so glad I caught this face. It’s one Nathaniel makes too often and always cracks me up.

I feel all out of sorts for the last two days. I am hoping it will be better on a good night’s sleep which I plan to get tonight. Let’s hope I do.

Note to Self:
In the beginning of this month, I worked on some layouts for an upcoming free BPS workshop called Big Idea Festival. I haven’t seen the other designers’ work but I am pretty sure it will be fantastic and it’s totally free so you have nothing to lose. Click here to sign up. (And that’s my layout there on the right, love me some orange.)

Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. Lego time with David (and Nathaniel).
2. My husband letting me sleep in this morning, I surely would have fallen apart without it.
3. I am thankful for my kids putting up with me on days like this.

Two Things David’s Grateful For:
1. playing legos with mommy.
2. daddy.

    I love the pictures of your boys! They’re so precious, especially when they’re hugging.
    I was wondering whether Nathaniel’s hair was getting darker, but I think he’s just growing more of it!

    Congratulations on all your June projects! You’ve been very busy and have tried your hand on many different crafts. Very inspiring!

    I’m stuck on Day 28 of my LOAD challenge because the last few days have been very busy. So not a 100% success but pretty close and it’s fine by me. Will let you know when I update my blog with my pages!

      I think you’re right and he’s growing more hair! I just noticed that yesterday, you’re way ahead of me. 28 days is amazing if you ask me! that’s 28 more layouts than you would have had before. I look forward to seeing them whenever you do post them.

  • I love the pics of your boys. They are unbelievably sweet. You’re so fortunate 🙂
