I admire your sense of style.
Technically, it was a Halloween costume. But this is the kid that asked for owl vomit for Christmas
You let me dress you funny.
He will hate me one day. But for now, plays along.
You love me even though I wouldn’t know a Geonosian from a Clone Trooper.
The kid loves Star Wars more than life.
You haven’t killed each other yet.
This is an old picture, so you'll have to take my word for it. They're all still alive.
You appreciate the value of naps.
You can caption this one yourself. I go with "Awwww! But I'm still not having another one."
You lead me to amazing places.
Following my dreams
Happy Valentine’s day!
This is great! I love seeing people acknowledging the unique aspects of their kids. Owl vomit is, in it’s own special way, awesome.
Owl vomit is amazing. And seeing her face light up when she finds an intact skull is pretty special, too.
What a wonderful post from a wonderful family! Praying for all the wonderful places you will be led in the future!! Love y’all!
Thank you!
What a perfect valentine. Our kids (and sometimes, even spouses) take us to a world we never thought existed, don’t they? And, uh, sometimes we wish we hadn’t heard about it. But most of the time, it’s the best, the juiciest, the most over-the-top feeling we can imagine.
It has definitely been an adventure!
But you knew the word Geonosian, so that counts for something right there!
I had to look up the spelling, though. He would have taken me to task for misspelling.
A beautiful valentine!
AwesomeSauce…
Love it! Thanks for sharing your precious’ with us 🙂 Happy Valentine’s Day to you!
Hahaha!, I know, when you start the journey you are simply clueless that you are about to get waaaayyyyy more than you bargained for. Sometimes I have to count to 10 in my head before I remember that I love the little monster (there is a reason for this nickname!).
We do get WAY more than we bargained for. Often in good ways, but there are times…
Happy Valentine’s to you and yours!! Thanks for sharing your quirky outlook on family life with us!!
Quirky. That’s a great word! Not creepy. Quirky. YES!
Quirky one of my favourite words. It says so much without giving too much away 😉
Love it! You have a great looking family. Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you!
AWWW. Lovely post. have a great valentines day! c
Reassembling a mouse skeleton from owl poo is educational… 🙂 Happy St. Valentine’s Day.
It really is! And finding a mandible with the incisors and molars still intact is spectacular! Did I just cross the line over to REALLY creepy?
Not at all. There’s beauty and humor in all things. At least, I like to think so.
Happy Valentines Day to you too! 🙂
Awe I love it! Way better than any card.
I love this! Although I have to say that baby-in-bunny-suit gets me more than newborn sleeping on Daddy. I didn’t have PPD, but the newborn stage was really rough for me. Smiles like the one on your little bunny more than made up for it, though!
The bunny suit gets me, too. My kids all had to wear outfits with ears until they were old enough to verbally protest “NO MORE EARS!”
Ah, bad timing ! A couple years back we had a pair of owls that took residence in our yard (we had a regular parade of bird watchers for 2 summers) ….we regularly found body parts all over…..I’m sure it was educational on some part (Discovery channel woulda loved it) but it grossed me out.
That kind of thing would be right up our alley! I was handling an owl for some kids at the zoo once and explaining about their digestion, and he puked up a pellet. It was awesome.
beautiful!!! Having kids really puts things into perspective doesn’t it? Especially the stuff we learn through them. For instance I learned today that Elmo prefers eating pears over cheerios. Which is why my daughter graciously gave him her pear pieces and ate all her cheerios. Mama then got to clean pear off of elmo’s fur and fuzz. Fun times. Happy valentine’s day 🙂
See, I did not know that about Elmo. He always looks so tidy on Sesame Street. I totally had him pegged as a Cheerio monster.
He’s sneaky that way, I find. He tends to restart my laundry, eat eggs, drink cranberry juice. Oh and he LOVES to dump the rest of her toys all over my kitchen floor. I blame false advertising 😉
Great post! Happy Valentine’s Day to you, too.
Absolutely adorable…and I don’t mean that in a patronizing way. Happy Valentine’s Day!
I’ll take it, even if you DID mean it in a patronizing way!
Great post. I’m a little concerned that my husband has a life I don’t know about (your napper and mine could be twins – especially in this pose).
Is yours where you can see him? Mine is standing here scarfing candy out of my kid’s Valentine’s bag.
He’s cooking dinner (a Weight Watcher’s recipe – no chocolate for us). They really do look alike (but I can see mine has more grey) – found a post with a couple of photos. http://worrywarts-guide-to-weight-sex-and-marriage.com/2011/07/05/men-in-apronschiang-mai/#
Perfect. Love the pics, the sentiment, the captions, everything! You make me smile!
Fantastic: what lovely pictures too
I loved this!! And, btw, they don’t hate you for long on the picture stuff.. my son is getting married soon and they WANT those cute, embarrassing, funny, sweet pictures that we, as parents and grandparents, take because we just cant help ourselves!!! Hugs!!
And really, we CAN’T help ourselves. It’s a compulsion. Gotta take the picture.
