Yes, I went missing for nearly 2 weeks. Well, we all knew it was bound to happen…. To be fair, though, our house has been hit by a lovely wave of sickness, so things are definitely not normal around here. I did take all of my pictures, I just didn’t post them. That halfway counts, I think. Alright, we’ve got a lot of pictures to get to, so we’d better get to it!

Day 16: Something New

This was easy! The weekend before, I’d just got a new stove & refrigerator. I’d been wanting new ones forever, but since ours still worked, I couldn’t justify buying new appliances just because I loathed the old ones. Finally, they decided to both die on me at once. Not that Dustin was thrilled, but I may have been a little happy

Day 17: Time

You never really know just how fast time goes until you have kids. It’s insane. Therefore, what better measure of time for me than the marks of their heights on the wall? Finn only has one mark, but he was surprisingly cooperative & stood there long enough for me to capture the fact that he’s grown since he was last measured. Of course…

Day 18: Drink

Another easy one. I have an unhealthy obsession with Diet Mountain Dew. I feel so trashy, but I can’t help it.

Day 19: Something You Hate to Do

The day that I was to take this photo was the same day that I went to the grocery store. Coincidence? I think not. I don’t actually hate the shopping part, but they paying, unloading & putting away? Ugggghhhhhh…. Torture!

Oh, btw, these are the most awesome grocery bags ever. No, seriously. They’re by Baggu & every single cashier has commented on how much they like them & asked where to get them. They can hold up to 50 pounds & have handles long enough to go over your shoulder. Plus, and this is really important, they come in a bajillion great colors & prints.

20: Handwriting

Jack made this pencil holder this winter & I liked it so much I put it by the computer with some pens in it. Logical, right? Especially considering it’s the computer Jack uses & he also uses pens from there as well. Apparently he wasn’t ok with that because he emptied all the pens on the table & wrote this note on the side of his (previously) lovely creation…

Yes, that says “Not for you its for me. Myn Myn Myn” (aka mine, mine, mine). I think we need to have a talk about sharing apparently. Also, you can tell that Finn couldn’t care less what it says, he’s taking it for himself

Day 21: A Fave Photo of You

Well, if I were to really put my favorite photo of myself up here, it’d be me, at age 20, in a yellow bikini, on the beach in FloridaHowever, considering I don’t really plan on sharing that, here’s another favorite. Jack’s just a few months old here & we’re visiting the apple orchard/farm for the first time. He was pretty unimpressed.

Day 22: Where You Work

Whether it’s photography, blogging or general motherhood duties, this is where I work. I’m not complaining.

Day 23: Your Shoes

I love shoes. I mean loooooove them. I ordered these cute flats a few weeks ago & can’t wait for it to warm up so I can wear them!

On the other end of my shoe spectrum are these crazy things. Dustin & I went to a black-tie event last week (whoa!) & I found these to wear. They actually matched my dress perfectly, which, considering my dress was a few different colors, is pretty amazing. Plus, I got them on sale. Score!

Day 24: Inside Your Bathroom Cabinet

You know what? I totally skipped this one. Not intentionally, but then again, you really don’t need/want to see in there anyway. Sorry!

Day 25: Green

So many choices on this one! I ended up going with the green bell in our handbell set, mainly because I thought it looked pretty. I was going to photograph Finn’s Kermit doll, but it was in his room where he was sleeping & let’s just say, I didn’t need the picture that much.

Day 26: Night

Ahhhh… here’s where the quality goes downhill. I was already on the couch watching the Oscar pre-show & wasn’t about to get up to take a picture. What’s a modern girl to do? Why, grab her camera phone of course!

On a side note, I know that a LOT of people didn’t like Emma Stone’s dress, but I thought it was pretty fantastic. I mean, if you can’t wear a dress with a giant bow to the Oscar’s, where can you wear it? So fun. Gwyneth & her column of icy blondeness was my favorite look of the night though. So modern & classic at the same time. Love, love, loved it.

Day 27: Something You Ate

The saving grace to living in the middle of nowhere is that there is thankfully a Pizza King right down the road. After having Jack’s parent teacher conference late yesterday afternoon, I didn’t feel like making dinner so, Pizza King to the rescue. Also? Camera phone to the rescue too
