go away rain

It was rainy when we woke up today so we decided to dress up in fancy dresses and jump on the bed.  I just love this little girl with all my heart.  We have so much fun, the only thing that could have made it better was if the hubs had joined us! We kicked Monday in the butt, and a rainy one at that!

After we played upstairs for awhile, we got in our jammies and sat out on the porch and watched the rain.  Perfect. Day. 

favorites

I looove my phone. I just wish the picture quality was as great as my fancy camera, because these are my favorite pics from this week/weekend!! holy balls. me and the hubs are in so much pain from our run...like going down stairs or doing anything is sooo hard...poor us.  I CAN'T WAIT FOR VACATION!!!! Also babies are following me.  I literally see the CUTEST babies everywhere I go. 

zoo

Yesterday we went to the zoo, it was a really pretty day and all the animals were out, Char loved the bears the best, and kept saying: "rarrr" over and over again.  Next time we go we are going to stay near the front so we can check out the butterfly house, and the penguins.  We never have time to do those because it is almost lunch, or C is grumpy.

This morning the hubs and I ran 13.1 miles...so hard holy crap but I think we are beginning to realize we can actually run this full marathon we signed up for in October.  I still kind of want to shit my pants when I think of running 26.2 miles in 10 weeks...but it is getting a little easier to see myself crossing the finish line.  

We are leaving on our road trip next weekend so i began my packing list and being gone for 10 days is no joke, the hubs is just packing the day before, but I am a planner so I have to know what I will wear and have to be packed like usually at LEAST three days before...its probably fine for our honeymoon I definitely packed like 3 weeks before it. 

cute little peanuts

Last night one of my best mom friends texted me saying she had a great idea: dress the peanuts up and do a mini photo shoot.  I mean I can't refuse that ever lets be serious.  This morning she texted me saying she was on her way but would run a little late because she was stopping to get balloons...is she not the best ever? The pictures turned out SO SWEET.  Her son is the cutest, and Char loves him.  They had so much fun with the balloons and picking flowers together, and we had fun watching them, it was the most beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky, and a nice breeze.  I hope we have lots more of these days until it gets grey and dreary again!

I am excited because tomorrow me, the hubs, and C are packing up for the beach that is about 2 hours away, I am hoping the weather cooperates and its nice out, but even if it isn't it will still be nice to have some fam time, this week the hubs had to work a lot so we both missed him!

memory lane

 I am feeling kind of really happy lately.  I just realized that I am super lucky to have the hubs in my life.  He makes me laugh, like REALLY laugh until the moment I pee my pants and have to run to the bathroom kind of laughing.  One time I was hanging in a tree and my brother tickled my feet, so I peed on him.  I really don't have control when I start laughing, he knew better PLUS I warned him.  Anyways.  I was looking through old pictures and I am so glad I made him take so many pictures, because it will be fun to have our kids look through them one day, even though like 99 percent of them are super awkward.  Its probably fine.

Also all of these pictures were when we were dating, and didn't know we would be getting married, or have kids.  Isn't that weird? Like hi self you didn't know that you were going to marry this guy or have Char baby.  Crazy.

I was talking to my mom today and came to the realization that quality is wayy better than quantity in friends, and I just need to be thankful for the great friends I have, and not worry so much, people drift away, come back, re-appear, and that is okay.  I think having Charlotte really changed the way I think of friendships.  Sometimes people don't understand that I can't just pick up and do something spur of the moment anymore, does it suck? Yes. Is it hard? Very. But until those friends have kids they won't realize how hard it is for me to say no, or to not be hurt by some of the stuff that they do without me.  I think at the end of the day I have some pretty great people in my life and I wouldn't change that for the world.

19 months

Charlotte you are 19 months old. I love you more every day.  You love to read, dress up, play with your baby dolls, trucks, blocks, cars, practicing with my make up, petting animals, running just about everything! You still don't like most food, but I know that will change eventually so I am not worried.  You are the best little girl in the whole world and we couldn't be luckier to have you in our lives.

5 things and pics from my weekend

1.) This weekend we had our college friend in town, it was so fun, but my liver hates me right now.  I cannot recover the way I used to! We took him to all our favorite places where we live, and it was so nice to see him again!

2.) I have that song wobble with me stuck in my head right now, and I was singing it with a british accent today in the car, Char baby really got into it and started dancing her little heart out.  Good times.

3.) I don't want summer to end!!! Our Maine trip is coming up so I am really excited but after that? School and homework boo.

4.) I want to take pictures in a sunflower field.

5.) Do squirrels poop? I have always wondered...
