weekends

saturday consisted of early morning errands & multiple nanny interviews- a full out busy day. so sunday needed to be simple & fun.

we started off getting dressed:

dress: gift

shoes: gift

socks: old navy

and i tortured her with picture after picture...

i tried to get pictures of alex- but she ran from me. typical.

instead, brynn decided to spit up & i put her in the onesie my best friend got the girls for Christmas:

i must admit- dresses are adorable- but on infants they seems so...difficult? they ride up & bunch up & get in the way. a simple onesie is the way to go.

i then decided my plan of attack would be getting shots of alex while she was "in the zone"- which = outside in the snow.

the husband got alex into her snowsuit while i bundled brynn up. i figured that we'd put them both on her sled & i would get the most perfect pictures of alex expressing her adoration for her sister- right?

look at the total disdain on her face. she's like- "wtf?! MY SLED!!!"

"oh.em.gee. you're still here?"

"hmmm- what can i..."

" GET OFF!"

and daddy had to intervene. poor brynn.

so i ended up with this. alex stuffing her face with snow & brynn looking like a sad, old man.

sisterly love fail.

but momma got some love!

afterwards i could see that alex's loyalty was to eating snow.

she loves me (i'm sure)- but she loves snow more.

and then it was daddy's turn:



still consuming snow. worry not- twas white, not yellow.

spit up. nice.

brynn's foot was touching alex. alex was pissed. "ZOMG MOM! SHE'S TOUCHING ME WITH HER FOOOOT!!!"

i got a few more shots of alex:

"alex- i think you've had enough snow..."

"DON'T YOU LOOK AT ME!"

got it.

a little more playtime with daddy:

and the puppies:

and it was time to head in

amazingly she didn't fight us- i think she was drunk on snow. and brynn's face was cold- so no arguments from her either.

it's times like these that i love the snow- otherwise i could do without. for real.
