Week In Pictures - October 5, 2008 - October 11, 2008

Join my lonely meme and create a running, photo diary of your week.
I am trying to create a legacy for my children and Photos are the best way. When I look back at my childhood photo albums I wish my mom was around to tell me the details of the photo like:

Where we were going?
What was happening?
How old was I?
Who are those people?

Scrapping is a great way because you get some photos and some journaling, but who has time for that these days?

October 5, 2008 - Here is a picture of the Goddess taken at her request. She is hugging baby jaguar from Diego.

October 6, 2008 - The Goddess wants to be Pablo from Backyardigans for Halloween. She has said this since July. I was dying to dress her in something frilly and girly but she insisted. I waited until now to buy it in hopes that she would change her mind but...she never did. She couldn't wait to get it in the mail and has worn it two times since the 6th.

October 7, 2008 - We signed our son up for Tao Kwan Do and couldn't be happier. He was ecstatic when he was given his uniform and his kick pad.

October 8, 2008 - I love walking around with my daughter during the day. We explore our world and I really get to just chat with her and be. It is heaven and I love every minute of it. This picture was taken as we waited for her brother to come out of school. We were sitting on at a picnic table and she noticed a ladybug. She was thrilled to pick it up and have it walking on her hand. More photos to come for this day.

October 9, 2008 - Last week we were supposed to bring stuffed animals to gymnastics for walk like an animal week. We forget as well as EVERYONE else in the class. Crazy! I thought about it until the moment I walked out the door heading to class. My son was very excited to remember his animals this week even though we didn't need them. He didn't care and neither did I.


October 10, 2008 - We do a lot of dress up in this house. With the Halloween bins out of storage the kids are seeing things they had forgotten about. This is a hand-me-down costume from my girlfriend and my daughter was loving it.


October 11, 2008 - This is from today's dance recital. More on that later. How friggin cute are all these 3 year old's tap shoes.

September 21, 2008 - I got my daughter the cutest rag doll outfit last year for this year but it is too small. Doesn't it figure. She was only wearing 12-18 months last year and shot up this year to a 2T-3T. This is a 2T but damn I should have gotten 3.


September 22, 2008 - This is a costume she wore on her 2nd Halloween, and it still fits! Go figure.



September 23, 2008 - I used the video camera this day!

September 24, 2008 - Here is my baby. Come on, could she make my heart swell an bigger? She loves her preschool and wants to go every day. All dressed up with a little hand-me-down backpack she can't wait for those school doors to open.


September 25, 2008 - My favorite man and my favorite 3 year old were having a very educational moment. More on this cute moment this week.


September 26, 2008 - Indoor picnics are big in this house. My kids think anytime you place a blanket on the floor it is called a picnic. This was their first time watching Super Why and they were loving it. They actually asked me to take this picture and you will never hear this photographer complain. Ok, it's not the best composition but my camera has been having trouble with it's shutter, so I press and hope for the best.

September 15, 2008 - Here is a picture of my two with my girlfriend Sheress' baby. This was our last trip of the season to the local ice cream eatery. I love that no one has the same expression in this picture.
September 16, 2008 - Here is the Goddess thinking that she is taking Karate. She isn't but every time we go she takes off her shoes and yells Kiai with the rest of the class.


September 17, 2008 - My daughter and I have been heading out after dropping Handsome off at school to feed the ducks and enjoy the crisp September mornings. There is nothing like it. I love it and she looks forward to it too.

September 18, 2008 - Here we are showing off our PakNaks (BTW...see my giveaway here), I love seeing them going to school together. It just makes my heart happy.
September 19, 2008 - I took my baby girl to the "barm" as she calls it. She loves seeing all the animals and I love taking pictures so it's a win, win. We love going to see all the pigs and piglets. The babies are so cute. Can you see how big that mama pig is?
September 20, 2008 - My son and I took a walk alone this evening. His sister really wanted to go but she had been told to eat her dinner and she could come. She didn't, so, so couldn't. She was screaming to my husband how much she wanted to go when Handsome and I left. I took the opportunity to tell the king of tantrums why he was allowed to go and she wasn't. "why do you think you were allowed to come out with mommy and Goddess wasn't?" We walked in quiet conversation which just tells me how absolutely loud my darling daughter really is.

Week In Pictures - 2nd Edition

September 7, 2008 - We have been taking walks around the neighborhood right before it gets dark. It is great therapy for my son and wonderful bonding time for all of us. I can also see how paroinoid I have made my children about cars and being in the street. They see a car coming and they are like deer in headlights. They just stand still as I am telling them "car!" I have to physically move them to the side of the road. "The future therapy" jar is getting a payment this week from mom. I posted more pictures from our walk here and here.

September 8, 2008 - 1st Day of Pre-school and all is well. I wrote about his first day here. He did fabulous! I was so proud.

September 9, 2008 - Was the Goddess' very first school day. She was eager to go and asked about leaving for school for the 2 hours before we left. For more detail and photos come over here.

September 10, 2008 - This was a photo I snapped as she was getting ready to go to ballet. She was ready 4 hours before we had to go. Talk about loving her ballet class. This is a totally staged face which has always been her specialty.

September 11, 2008 - Here are my babies as they leave the car and head toward school eager and smiling. What more can a mom ask for?

September 12, 2008 - The end of the evening after a very long week. Here is my son brushing before bed. He had just taken his brand new beloved boxing gloves after wearing them for 4 hours so that he could actually use his hands. More on that later.


September 13, 2008 - I watched my daughter tracing her foot. She was just quietly sitting there, usually she tells us every single line she makes. This time she was just experiencing on her own. I love that she can find things to keep herself busy. She shocks me with her ability to entertain herself. My son was never like this when he was younger. Probably because he never had to. I was his playmate 24/7.

September 14, 2008 - My son called me in to take his picture with his cat and dog. Not the living breathing kind, but his stuffed animals. He was in his sister's room waiting for her to come out of the bathroom. (I love that they play with each other most of the time). Seeing my son lying in what used to be his room and his old crib makes me melancholy sometimes. It is a reminder of how fast life is.
