full steam ahead

 

I spent much of last night scrolling through my blog and smiling as I enjoyed the photos and videos.  I need to shoot more video!  I love hearing the little voices of my munchkins.  2015 shall be the year of film.  Aside from that, I love this message.  Beyond a day, I'm going to try this for the week.  Who's with me?

Welcome 2015, this will be the year.

  

saturday

 

This day was top to bottom, nonstop fun.

We do weekends right, y'all!

Though, I do wonder.  Any other 40+ year old moms left gasping for air come Sunday night?

 sunday night = exhausted

{mmm, fresh berries!}

 

 

 

And from here, Maxi Bear hit Chuckie Cheese and sissy had a sleepover.

What a day!

This day was sandy toes and salty air.  Towers and flags, ice cream and fireworks. 

Here is the fourth of July!

 

 



 

 

 

And from here, we dragged our exhausted, fun-filled bodies back to Gpop's/Gmom's where I instantly fell asleep on the sofa, and according to Billy Webb, was "snoring like a drunk sailor".  a.w.e.s.o.m.e.

 

This day.

 

 

 

may day

 

I'm lucky enough to have a family that loves me to bits and makes me smile every single day.  Sure, Mother's Day is a treat.  But so is everyday.  I'm lucky in love. 

Here, is this day.

 

 

And from here, the sofa was calling, the dirty dishes were not.  :)

This day.

a day in the life.

 

This day was an ordinary day with two extraordinary monkeys {and one cute hubby}.  Who else loves little girls in glasses and little boys the age of two? 

 

{a cousin Noah sleepover!}

and from here it was me to the movies and the munchkins to the tub. 

what a day.

This day was a boy and a cat, snow and sledding, a girl with a smile, and a whole lotta love.

...and from here it was popcorn and a movie. 

1/25.  this day.

 

 

Saturday.

 

While we spent a good portion of the weekend flopping around the house {you should see my pile of tearsheets!}, we also managed to enjoy the outdoors.  Saturday night we made the quick drive to Peddler's Village in New Hope, PA.  It's a family-friendly destination full of shops, restaurants, music, and even a kids' playzone.  This weekend was their annual Apple Festival where Emerson enjoyed her first cup of hot apple cider, we picked up some Thanksgiving Dinner napkins and everyone had a ball. 

 

 

 

And from here, we headed home for a bath and a movie. 

 

...and that's how we roll.

 

 

go. see. do. {Center City}

It's like I have this little sight-seeing angel who sits on my shoulder.  I'm not sure how it happens, but every time I have an all-day, out-and-about kind of day, it ends up flawless.  Better than the last.  Even with a few no shows {party of 3!}, Saturday was one of those days.  The outdoors, the arts, the food, the company ~ just as good as it gets. 

This day in the life post is all about fun in Philadelphia.  It's a bit abbreviated, as I saved a few pics for a separate post and you won't see any nighttime photos.  After we kissed the city goodbye and arrived home around 6:00, I was too tired and full to do anything but give the munchkins a bath and collapse on the sofa.  What you will see are pictures from a day that I will forever love.  I made two comments that have stuck with me  {1} "I love having a girl" and {2} "Miss Pippy, isn't this fun?!? These are the days that become memories and one day you'll hear me say, remember when.... ".

*photo by Emerson Webb. ...mmmmm, Champagne.

  

And from here, we waddled out to the car. 

...all those beverages, all that yummy food.  We're regulars at tea, if you've never experienced it, you're missing out!  See our spring outing here.  Thanks, Mom!

  

 It feels good to get out.

Love the place you live.

Sunday.

 

{ Miss Pippy after some read-a-longs }

 What a day.  From sun up to sun down, this day was about play.  Puppets, parks, pools, presents {one for me, one for Billy Webb} ~ we did it all.

While I got to sleep in {8:00 wake-up, yeah sleepy babies!}, Billy Webb hit the trails early.  It was a hot one!  With blazing 100 degree sticky heat outside it finally felt like summer.  I actually liked the hot 'n' hazy heat wave.  Though, I will say I was EXHAUSTED last night!  This forty-year-old body can barely keep up with these rascally rabbits.  Thankfully, my backyard now has the perfect jump starter ~ a pool!  Billy Webb put up our high brow inflatable pool last week and my Miss Pippy loves it {and, of course, Baby Bear loves anything his sister does}.

Here's a peek at our day.

 

From here, it was indoors for ice cream sandwiches and tooneys {at 9:00!}.  Isn't summer the best?!? 

Then off to bed we went!

What a day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

a day in the life.

Here's a peak at our weekend fun.  Dreary weather meant no Egg hunt {hello, April showers}, but we had loads of fun, nonetheless.   Including one little girl sleepover at Mimi's and one yummy meal out. 

...and that's how we roll.  :)
