today is an "I am so lucky" day

Saturdays usually aren't my favorite. Mark always works (so that he can have Sundays off) and I'm here with the kids by myself. But today, I feel good. I feel like a good mom and lucky to have healthy/spunky/naughty children. This is despite the fact that my house is a mess AND that I went to the mall with all 3 of them by myself this morning.

I banished them to the back yard this afternoon, and I kept hearing giggles coming from outside.

So for today, the mess can wait, and I'll just enjoy them.




Normally up-the-nose shots wouldn't make the cut, but he is a spitting image of his father here...

Have you noticed the lift-the-shirt theme?

They also enjoy anything involving butts, burping, or "tooting."

Notice that Gray's ribcage is bigger than Miller's. I am trying not to imagine what it is going to be like feeding that child as a teenager.


Miller is impossible to photograph right now. I'll take what I can get.

Apparently his hands were dirty. He spent a lot of time inspecting his hands this afternoon.
