A Good Week

I took this shot of Libby with her teacher last week when I got to take her to school. She loves her teacher!

This was a good week. I finally started to feel like I was getting (a little) caught up at work (not ahead, mind you. Just not so far behind.) and like I might be able to pull off being a working mom. It's all I ever talk about, I know. It's just that I'm totally caught up my own world over it. I question every minute if I can hack it, and this was a good week.

On Wednesday I picked the girls up and brought them back to school to get some work done. They usually fall asleep in the car and last week it worked out perfectly. I managed to get them from their car seats into the stroller without waking them. Then, I wheeled them into my classroom and turned the radio on to some white noise to drown out any other noise coming from the hallway. They slept this way for about an hour and a half. It was so peaceful. Then, by the time they woke, we were ready to head home.

Crashed.

When we got home I ran a broom over the floor and had the girls get into the corner to get outta my way. The light was so perfect, I set down the broom and grabbed my camera.

We just ordered Libby some new shoes from Zappos. I'm putting Zappos on my list of things I love. I ordered them at 4:30 on Monday. They arrived at 2:00 on Tuesday. Shipping was free. She wore them to pose for a picture and hasn't touched them since. Sigh. I guess Peyton can wear them eventually.

Dr. Peyton listens for a pulse?

Puppet theater. Only it killed my knees to be in there.

Look who's gonna be a junky. Just like her momma.

Thursday night meatloaf by Grammy Jane. We've been eating a ton of sweet corn lately, too. Soooo delish. I do love corn in the fall.

Corny.

Yesterday as we ran errands we came across this HUGE nest on top of a streetlight. The girls were impressed, but we wished we could've seen the birds....

I was going for the shot of my little scientists spellbound by such an enormous nest. What I got instead was a whole bunch of (almost) four year old goofiness caused by pointing my camera lens in her direction. She's a total poser these days.

Peyton takes it all in.

This child WILL NOT keep her clothes on. Every time I turn around someone is naked and needs to be dressed before we can leave to go do anything. And it's not just Shane. The girls are just as bad. Ha! Bah dum bah! Seriously though, I asked her, "Peyton, where are your clothes?" Her reply, "My backpack!"
