These are a few of my favorite things...

When I saw that this weeks Trendy Treehouse challenge was "Favorite Things" my first thought was some kind of tribute to Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes with maybe a few snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelases throw in for good measure. But then I remembered that it's 90 degrees right now so snowflakes are out and if I put my girls in white dresses they would only stay white for about 30 seconds. So, dreams of a Sound of Music tribute were cast aside. And Lord knows I post enough pictures of my girls on here.

And technically speaking, my girls aren't things,they're people. Which leaves me in the clear to admit to my very favorite thing. Bacon. I love it. Really.





And one more to make your mouth water!

Sophie takes picky eater to a new level.

Sophie has always been a really picky eater. If she had her way it would be noodles and parmesan cheese or french fries for every meal. We keep offering her new foods, but most of them don't even make it close to her mouth let alone in it. And at 2.5 she tells me "No thank you. That's too yucky for me." Seriously?

Anyway, one of the few new foods that she actually likes is orange peppers. She won't touch the green or red peppers with a ten foot pole but can eat an entire orange one by herself.
(And by the way, am I the only one who gets crazy looks from the grocery store employees when I break out the camera and pose my girls in front of produce?)



For more fabulous stories and photos of orange, check out the Paper Mama.

Got to Wear Shades Photo Challenge

Both my girls love their glasses so this one was a hard choice. I finally went with this one of Isabelle, not because of the glasses but because of the attitude she's throwing around behind them!

Black and White Wednesday- Who's hungry?

I'm pretty sure our three year old is going to eat us out of house and home. It usually isn't more than twenty minutes after any meal that she is asking what kind of snack she can have. She also for some reason is having a hard time remembering which meal comes when. I think she's gotten tired of me correcting her because now she just says "Mommy, when is breakfast, lunch, dinner?"



For more beautiful photos be sure to visit black and white Wed!

Vintage Sophie

The theme this week over at RAW(e) is Vintage. I know they list the themes in advance but I totally dropped the ball on this one. Luckily my little Sophie is a lover of all hats and will gladly put on one of the twenty or so that she owns any time I ask. So, for my vintage unedited photo this week I give you Sophie Ingalls Wilder.



Check out RAW(e) for lots of other vintage shots that are straight out of the camera!

Vacation?

The photo challenge over at Trendy Treehouse this week is vacation. I was going to skip it after seeing all of the beautiful photos that have been coming in. After all, we don't do a whole lot of vacationing since having two kids! But then I decided I still wanted to enter something. And the one vacation we take every year is to go camping with 25 of my extended family members. I know camping doesn't sound like much of a vacation for most people. What other vacation do you have to pack everything you could ever need, set up your own sleeping arrangements, cook your own food and poop in yucky public toilets? But for some reason we still do it every year. And it's always a fabulous weekend!

This first photo is my choice for this weeks "vacation" challenge just because I love all the colors!





This was also the first year that we went out of our way to take the ferry to the campsite. Isabelle could not believe we were driving our car onto a boat. The ferry ride takes about six minutes so by the time I got both of the girls out of their carseats to look over the side of the boat it was time to get back in the car!



And everyone has to help out with dishes when we camp!


Who doesn't want to just lay in the grass and enjoy an oreo?


Did I mention it was in the 90's all weekend?


I'm not sure Sophie understood the rules for this game!


And last but not least, here we all are. Every family tree has a few nuts but ours is loaded with them!
