i was resting (zoning in and out of sleep) on the couch.
photo booth uses the web cam to take your picture. here are a few of her self-portraits.
there were 62 pictures in all.
this is what bread (zweibach) looks like craig…it’s time to get those smoke detectors up! i am so glad those are zweibach. OMG! i thought for sure that was HAMMY in the microwave, my stomach quickly returned when I scrolled down to see it was only bread. whew! Oh-oh. I had a naughty baby this weekend too. He pulled a lamp down of a table in his room, took off the lamp shade and the bare bulb burned a hole right through the carpet, pad and all. Luckily he wasn’t hurt, that’s the good news. Bad news: carpet has to be replaced before we sell. It’s really, really ugly. oh gosh… the little lessons of life! nice. at least it wasn’t silverware in there to cause a fire!! our microwave has burn marks in it because of that. First of all..I love your microwave…very nice! I think all kids have done that, kinda surprised it hasnt happened already. For us it seemed to take FOREVER to get the smell out. I was wondering how those low microwave location workout with little kids, they need a lock. Imagine if it would have cooked the other 91:03 minutes! Oh my… lol I think it’s time you start calling these part 1, part 2 and so on :)! This picture gives new meaning to the word “zwiebach”. There may be others that know the tradition better than I do, but I believe that zwiebach were eaten fresh the day they were baked but toasted the second day, thus “twice baked” which is what zwiebach means. Since these were made on Saturday, Annie must have known that they needed to be “toasted” to be good on Monday.
i was on my way to pick up the kids from school.
tonight annie didn’t want dinner.
lauren made bacon for her meal…
i love sonic. Hope you got your cupcake…My friend who led me to Sprinkles..I saw her Nephew yesterday..the nepehew who stands to inherit a gazillion dollars..I asked him…do you bring me a sprinkle? To which he replied…”I wouldn’t pay that much for a cupcake!” Not..I won’t stand in those lines. but complaining about the price…oy he is just like his father. No wonder he is a millionaire…do you have any cupcakery near you? In response to your comment on my blog (thanks for stopping by!)lol You aren’t kidding, the ice is perfect! I remember they used to sell bags of it, do they still do that? I just posted something about Sonic this morning, so it was neat to see how much you all enjoy it! lol Love the tiara by the way, I think we should all have one… So cute, that crown. On numerous occasions, I’ve worn my sunglasses on my head while crazily searching the house for them! I can’t wait to play with tiaras! You have the sweetest family…I love following along on your journeys! no tiara’s in our house but we sure make those dinners whenever possible! This whole post makes me smile. I really need to take my camera along more often. Though I haven’t left the house in what feels like a month!!! I often get my kids sundaes on Fridays when I collect them from school. Never heard of Sonics though. There is a McDonalds just around the corner from the school so that is where we go. Annie is so cute! I love the last picture of her, getting that BIG bite =) All the days in your house look SOO fun! 🙂 you’re funny about bacon… although I must admit I was in the same position about a year ago. I HATE getting the flying grease on me… it hurts and I can’t stand it in the microwave so someone told me you could put it in the oven for 15 min. EASY!! 🙂 BTW, I can’t remember if Peter was quoting the office… but I’m gonna go with a YES because he is OBSESSED! Whenever our small group sends emails back and forth there is always an office quote somewhere in the mix. I watch it but don’t have every line memorized like the rest… I’m still catching up on you guys and your SNL lines. 🙂 Have a GREAT WEEKEND! annie… she is as cute as they get! i wear a tiara a lot when i am working…the ups and fedex guys laugh everytime i amswer the door in my pj’s and tiara! we had one of those dinners last night too. danelle When you said Lauren had bacon and then I scrolled down to the kids eating ice cream, and I thought you were gonna say everyone else had ice cream! Another enchanting day at your house!
i had the best weekend. i took them to all the best places.
we cooked together.
they cleaned for me.
they played with my kids.
but we mostly stayed in and talked and laughed. then when it was time to go home we moved away just after annie was born but our other children grew up
oh the memories. So happy for you! Good friends just make a happy life all the better. Glad you had such a memorable weekend! so glad you had a wonderful weekend with your girlfriends. they are so important!!! how neat to have such wonderful friends… that is the best! I dont have a whole slew of friends just about 3 that I simple could not breathe without and qualify in my book as SISTERS! I think that is what you are talking about with your friends and the cherry on top is when you actually really, really love your own birth sister to pieces….I adore mine too. Sounds wonderful. Good friends. How fun! Girlfriends are such a blessing! How fun, you have lovely friends. Wal-Mart and drinks? That’s my idea of a very good time!
my big sister… is having a birthday today. happy birthday. Thought the same thing about Annie and Talby too! What a similarity!!! happy birthday to your sister. what a sweet post. very cute picture of you two. No way!!! We’re celebrating a birthday in our house today as well!!!! Happy birthday to your sister!!! I love my big brother, but I always wished for a sister. You’re so blessed to have her, I just know it. awe… sisters… the best! sweet wish! I Agree that picture of you sitting there looks just exactly like annie and talby!!!! At least they know they will grow up and be VERY PRETTY. Thanks for saying all those nice things about me Meg! That photo is one of my favorites. Can’t you just feel the humidity on that summer porch? I remember that outfit too. It was aqua blue terrycloth with orange and pink knit trim. I don’t remember what color yours was-maybe lime green?, but it was all one-piece (and also terrycloth), so you had to completely undress when going to the bathroom. I am so glad they stopped making those! My birthday is not exactly how I thought it would be – we are at home for our second snow day in a row. Maya was sick yesterday, and I thought I would have to cancel everything. But she is doing better now, and so I think we are still going out tonight after all. Love you so much! Lorel Oh my heavens, Annie and Talby must be little clones of you! When I first saw the photo of you and your sister, I thought I was looking at a picture of one of them! Yes, Lorel, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! when i walked in the kitchen this morning
annie was in the best mood.
“i want to crack the egg!”
“i got egg on my hand!”
“i want to pour the oil!”
sneaky.
“mmmmm….sugar.”
“i want to turn it on!” do you make your pancakes in a blender?
this routine of pancakes with dad is special. it makes a mess but the memories are worth it. We are always looking for the perfect pancakes. Is Craig willing to share his ingredients. We make our puff pancakes in a blender, but not the regular pancakes. But my kids haven’t been too happy with our regular pancakes. Maybe I need your recipe! yes, maybe you should post the recipe. i am a bisquik mom, but it would be nice to suprise the family with homemade. yum!!! Yum. My husband makes pancakes too. He makes them with a hand whisk. **Shhhh!** **Shhhh!** We had pancakes today too….but gluten-free just isn’t the same 🙁 Never in a blender. We didn’t even have bisquick when I was growing up. Just Krusteez….only add water. It is nice when you’re just going to make one or two, but oh those fluffy bisquick ones are yummy. Would love to try the blender ones as well. I am so craving pancakes right now!! it’s not just you, amy d… the thought of even trying to make pancakes without Bisquick has never occurred to this neighbor. I’ve been poking around your blog now. And I love it! That bathroom! That mirror! I LOVE it all! Sometimes I would slurge and make them from scratch, but the bisquick ones were so quick and we thought – pretty good! My kids LOVE to cook with their dad too!!! Personally I think there is nothing like a daddy and their daughters. Never saw pancakes blended in a blender before but hey less lumps or probably zero lumps that way. Looks like a great morning. Thanks for sharing Just as I was thinking “hmmmm…I’ve never mixed pancakes in a blender before”…YOU ASKED THE QUESTION! Looks fun! Great blog! Fun read! I found you a few weeks ago and have really enjoyed your family’s wonderful antics. Have an awesomely artful day! You know it’s gonna’ be a good one when you start taking photos three minutes out of bed! 🙂 you must post that recipe, i didn’t know there was anything other than bisquick! that should come to no surprise to my neighbors 🙂
this was one of sean’s homemade valentine’s.
annie loved being at sean’s party. to make dinner special
and this is me today… ******************************************** back to the laundry. Oh Oh! That laundry reminds me of a big leaf pile. You should just throw it into a big heap and let the kids jump into it! I bet it would keep them busy for all of 3.75 minutes…then maybe you would have time to make some decent frosting, which I’m hoping you’ll have perfected by the time I arrive on your doorstep with my two kids, my big fat tabby cat, and my beaded bikini…until then ~ XO XO XO XO Oh my gosh, your laundry pile is worse than mine. You have two more people in your family though. Laundry is the bane of my existence, how nice to know it makes others crazy too. I recently spent one cold, wet Saturday watching the entire 1st season of October Road while folding & putting away(during commercials) my family’s laundry. If you haven’t watched October Rd. Mondays 9pm, I think you would love it. Great music, good story, thus it probably won’t get renewed for 3rd season. Oh my gosh, that is hilarious about the kid and the frosting. Kids can be so honest. I beg my kids to not embarrass me like that. Don’t you just hate the washing pile!! One of my least favourite jobs. ah–children! so honest! speaking of manners, one of my 6th grade students today looks at me with a funny face and says, “what is wrong with your hair today? It looks crazy.” Thaaaaanks. I actually spent time on it this morning, but good to know that it looks “Crazy”. 🙂 Amy sent me a link to your blog. How fun! I could look at your amazing pictures for hours!!! You have tremendous artistic talent. Have a great weekend! -Susan I Have a question regarding your bedroom color, I have been toying with doing a deep brown instead of the pale blue I have had for 5 years, my guess is it is forgiving light at “night” no? as it is now even in full darkness the room with pale walls seems light . who doesn’t love homemade frosting? It’s still funny….what kids say. I love that you were watching a movie while doing laundry. Maybe someday I’ll be able to do that. It actually sounds heavenly….as heavenly as laundry can be. OH MY GOSH…I just laughed out loud so hard at that frosting question.. As I was reading it at first I thought she was going to say something nice and WHAM…RUDE. oooo i should be doing laundry. Why is laundry so dreadful? I love love love the manners lesson! Hope you have a very happy weekend! A good manners lesson. I love it! Good luck with the clothes, you should rent Chocolat. It just seems like that kind of day.. |

Erica - That is way cute! Perfect for scrapbooking!
jeanetta - that is great. my youngest would be doing the same thing if we had it. good reason not to. lol.
isnt it amazing that a 3 year old can operate the computer better than my mom.
melissa @ the inspired room - HA! You know that doesn’t end when they are teenagers. I have photos all over our computer that look exactly like that but with 16 year old faces. Can you imagine the fun we would’ve had as kids if we had all these toys? We’d have much better pictures of ourselves too, instead of those blurry ones 25 feet away.
Just catching up here. Ooooo, naughty baby indeed! I love Naughty Baby posts. Funny, just like I said above, these things don’t end when they are teenagers! My 19 year old thought our toaster oven was a microwave and put a paper towel in it to cook her Chicken Tostitos. Smoke, fire, and a near death experience followed as we threw the flaming toaster oven out the back door! Phew. Crisis averted.
Kids!
PS, you look smashing in your green dress!
xo
Gini - That just cracks me up!
Karen Russell - Hey there,
Just saw you question on my blog and am hoping I can help you figure out the focusing issue.
My guess is that you accidentally switched the auto focus point.
On the top, right back of your camera, there should be a little button with a what looks like a dotted “t” inside a rectangle. If you press that button, and then scroll the top dial (by the shutter button), it should show you that it is changing the auto focus point. Camera’s usually comes from the camera shop with all of the boxes highlighted (which means that the camera kind of chooses what it wants to focus on) and I am assuming that that is the setting you are used to.
I have the center box highlighted 90% of the time – but that is kind of a complicated thing to explain.
Anyhow, I hope that helps and if you have a tough time trying to figure out what I am referring to, look up “Auto Focus Points” in your camera manual.
And by the way…you looked fabulous in that green dress!

carissa - i can’t stand it… she is the cutest little toot ever! precious!
Lauren - Thank you Annie for making me laugh today! I love the second photo in this post most – maybe because you can’t quite tell if she REALLY feels grumpy, or because she’s working so hard at LOOKING grumpy when she’s not.
Thanks for sharing Meg!
🙂
hqm - That is so sweet!
Shelly - Naughty Baby is also a Funny Baby!!
Very cute!!

Ainslie - Now that is the cutest thing ever!!! After your post yesterday about the over cooked bread in the microwave, I’m beginning to think Annie loves to get up to mischief. Those photos are hilarious…I love them!!!
Jennifer P. - I have never heard of Photo Booth before, but I would totally buy it if I got pictures this great! I think those are just about the most candid, honest photos a kid could take of themself! Precious! I love the way she had all the Little Einsteins lined up along the front there too–and the Memory game–all too cute!!!
traci - 62 pictures!! WOW…shes just adorable!!! She will either keep you young or make you old..lol

Mom - I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time!She’s so funny. Where does she get this?
Crystal - SO precious!! I LOVE it!! 🙂 Hope your day is sunnier than ours has been!! 🙂
Present Past Collection - This has got to be one of my favorite posts so far this year! Absolutley hysterical. And I love the one where she’s not looking too thrilled with her photo results. Just like a woman. And notice how she has to show us her toys? Just like a blogger. But then there’s always the kiss to greet us Hello!
Priceless and totally adorable!
Lee Ann - I love it! Those expressions are priceless. What fun to be a kid.
