Project 365ish

I wanted to do this great project where I took (and posted) pictures every day for a year. This was supposed to give me a few months practice before Baby Girl got here so I would be in the habit of taking daily pictures. I have not done such a great job, but I will post what I have and attempt to carry on! I want to capture some of our day-to-day moments instead of just breaking out the camera at
Christmas, birthdays, etc. I am going to backdate the photos to the date they were actually taken. :)
Today's photo: what our school table looks like most of the time. My kids are addicted to crayons and markers, although they are currently on a marker ban. Landon decorated his nightstand with guns and deer, while Allie colored herself green one day while I was in the bathtub. I knew we were in trouble when I heard her tell Landon, "Look Landon, I'm not white anymore, I'm green!"

Because I don't want to forget

I read recently that women lose brain cells in late pregnancy- well let me tell ya, I believe it! The kids have said some incredibly funny things this week and I can only remember 2 of them! So I will write them down before I forget:

Sunday morning, I asked Landon if he was ready for Kindergarten on Monday. He looked at me in surprise and said, "What? I thought I got off of kindergarten for hunting season!" Oh, what a good Hays he makes!

Monday afternoon we were driving to dinner and Allie was whining. We are trying to get her to tell us in an "unwhiny" voice when something is bothering her. So Ben asked her to tell us her problem. She said immediately, "My pants aren't straight, I don't have a belt on, and you just ran that stop sign!" Oh goodness we laughed and laughed. Which she did not find funny. (on a side note, the stop sign was not run, I guess she expected us to sit there all day!)

Girls' night!

Saturday night I was in the homeland and my sister was nice enough to get together a group of girls from my previous church together to hang out, eat, and talk. We had a fabulous time! My cousin from out-of-state was also able to join us. I miss these ladies!

The nephew's 1st birthday!

My sweet little nephew A and my beautiful sister Lindsey. Brother-in-law was not home from work yet. Isn't the baby so adorable?
