embrace the camera: 9/6/12

 
i promise you, thursday sneaks up on me every week.
and then i'm all "oh shoot!  quick kids, take a picture of me.  right now.  do it.  i need to get in a picture with you."
well, this time when i yelled that, nobody answered me because THEY ARE ALL IN SCHOOL.
so, kohen, olive and i embraced the camera.
and a lego man (ninjago to be exact) made it into this weeks photos.
we don't go anywhere without that ninjago man.
mothers of boys, do you know what i'm talking about?
 
 
 
 
 
i'm still getting used to just these two chickens around all day.
 
 
if you're new here, we like to embrace the camera every thursday.
read all about it here, then join us below!

    2. My husband's mother has saved EVERYTHING from his childhood. That has its drawbacks, and I don't recommend it as a policy--but the Legos!!! We discovered a treasure trove on our last visit. I am so seriously happy that she saved those. I say keep 'em! They'll bless the grandkids one day.

  13. These are so cute. As a mama of two lego-loving boys (plus my prima donna daughter), I especially love the Lego-man picture. And Kohen's accompanying face!

  17. My eldest would LOVE legos in the house, but somehow his little brother gets his hands on them EVERY time...and into the mouth they go. So he has a VERY select few...and they share a million Duplos. Love upsidedown baby pictures...they always turn out so fun.
