a smoochy sun-day...

today's 60 degree weather had us all in the kissiest of moods.

we headed to north carolina to seize the sunshine and the quaint historic district of old salem. i had an engagement session with a sweet and smoochy couple and the girls had a date with their daddy at the children's museum.





i hated that i couldn't be with my little polka-dotted bandits on their great adventure, but since the girls stay home with me every day, quality time out with their daddy is key.  plus, i can't tell you how wonderful it is to chat with people that can pronounce their r's and k's... or how good it is to be back in the company of those who can't after an afternoon apart.





i've spent my night editing pictures and having a good laugh and a good cry with my sister in law.  if i had the energy, the perfect ending to this smoochy sunday would be a good makeout session with my husband.

realistically, a heavy duty face plant into my pillow is about all i have left in me.
i hope your sunday was just as sweet...
good night <3

this little piggy had a poor paint job...

i hope you are laughing rather than gagging. i know some people have a problem with feet so i debated not posting this entry for that reason (i am the thoughtful type, you see) ...but this set of poorly painted piggies comes with a sweet story.

last night, while haley and i were miserable on the couch, cameron got ahold of the fingernail polish. she came up to me saying "paint paint paint" but i told her i didn't feel well and sent her on her way. she's a very smart girl and knows that when mommy says "no" she can use those cloud-like cheeks and baby blues to sucker in daddy.

while the outcome isn't the prettiest, i can appreciate the gesture and the happiness that followed it. nick sure did try, cameron's wishes were granted and i have another reason to laugh/yell at and (secretly) adore my husband. we're all winners over here.

i do apologize for the lack of thrilling updates as of late:  feet, puke, and bare butted toddlers... haha. thanks for hanging around. <3
