the many faces of Clara.

I think one of my most frequent forms of entertainment during the day has to be Clara’s expressions. For whatever reason, she is one of the most expressive babies I have ever known, and quite frequently her expressions are hilarious. I know a lot of you have seen me share pictures of her faces… I decided to make a post of a few pictures displaying her crazy faces, and some of her not-so-crazy ones as well. Enjoy!

The bow obviously freaked her out…

The first one she was listening intently to Star Wars music… the second, it put her to sleep.

Always soaking everything up…

If looks could kill…

*wink*

Say WHAAAAT?

Her mouth under the hood is like “uuuhhh???” ha!

Just some random cute faces…

DRAMA.

Sweet smile…

A slightly crazy-looking gleam there…

I don’t even know how to caption the first one… but the second one was her grinning at me as I cracked up at her face in the first one! She likes to laugh along with the “joke”.

 

If she continues to give me some good faces {and I’m sure she will}, I’ll do more posts like these… because they’re fun. Ha!

It’s Official: I have LOST my mind!

That’s right, folks. You read it. I have officially lost it. It’s been a long time coming, that’s for sure. And I am sure a lot of you are probably thinking I’ve lost it long ago, but believe me… I had not lost it until today.

Take a look at my Facebook status from earlier today:

“Dinner (mexican fiesta soup): On Stove”…. well, yeah. It was on the stove all right. You know, it really helps things cook if you actually turn the right burner on, don’t you think?

Yep.

Thanks to my husband, who was tasting it (“This is COLD!”), we were able to correct that mistake quickly. It’s on the stove now… the correct burner is on.

So dinner is going to be a little late.

And I wouldn’t be surprised if I did something to further prove my point that I’ve lost it in the future. Boy howdy! How embarrassing!

The Other Side

I had nothing to blog about tonight, until I visited my friend Micah's blog. If you remember, we will be staying with her family in a hotel room next week while we are in Memphis for the Memphis School of Preaching Lectureship. You have GOT to go check out her "Not-So-Good" pictures of her beautiful daughter!

Anyway, I have been saving up my "throwback" {Hubby informs me that this is the incorrect usage for that word, but I had to throw it in there anyway} pictures for a while so I could share them in bulk. After seeing Micah's post and realizing I have nothing else to blog about tonight, I decided I would share mine as well.

I just want to let you know first that if you have a weak stomach, you may not want to see some of these pictures. This involves chewed-up food, namely Benjamin's chewed-up food.

Here we go!

Our First Category is Blur!
A few pictures where Benjamin was too fast for my shutter! Oh, and Bailey.






Our Second Category is See Food!
Gross.





And my favorite... Funny Faces!
hehehe.



And there you have it! Life over here is not always picture perfect pleasant.

And I wouldn't have it any other way!

Not Me Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.


As for me ...

While cleaning the kitchen, I did not hear shrieking at the bottom of the stairs and find my child trying to bust through the baby gate (which is definitely not too short to go across the whole step ... we take every precaution to make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen ...). I did not stop to laugh when I saw he had gotten his head through, but that was it. I don't find his calamities humorous at all! And I definitely did not stop to take a picture with my cell phone because Hubby would never believe it, before helping the poor child. And lastly I certainly did not proceed to text the picture to my Hubby and my Mom.

What kind of parent do you think I am?


And to sprinkle a little truth on the situation, I'm not going to post the picture because for one thing I don't want CPS to come snag him (Ben is fine - he was just mad he couldn't get all the way through), and for another thing, I know some family members would probably get pretty mad.

So, spill. What didn't you do?
