what a November day

Yesterday was beautiful.

it was a spectacular autumn day.

Sunny and 17*C

i was determined to get out and enjoy it with the kids when they got home.

with their bikes in the back of the car

we headed to the nearest trail

i walked, Gertie around my neck, 

and they biked short distances ahead of me, finding ways to play while waiting for me to catch up.

I am so thankful for this beautiful day in November.

Couldn't have asked for a better day..

or after school time with the kidlets.

When my timer let me know we had to turn around 

the sun was beginning to set.

shorter days in November, 

but what a beautiful day it was.

family

I am mom to these two crazy kids.

i just love them so much.

i wish they could pause at this age right now.

The Lord saw me as the perfect fit for them.

they are so different, 

yet, so much the same.

They love to have fun.

they love to challenge themselves.

they love to laugh,

and laugh loud.

they love mommy and daddy.

they love each other.

some moments i get so mad or frustrated with them.

sometimes they feel the same about me.

that's what family is.

one minute you want to yell, scream and rip your hair out.

you want to lock the person out of the house or your room so you don't have to hear or see them.

the next minute you want that person to be right there with you.

to laugh, hug, cry.

to play with and be silly.

you don't want to be without that person.

ever.

they see your worst and your best and love you for it all.

Friday Foto

this morning my little one and i were talking about peeing.

yep.

honestly.

boys stand.

we were talking about that.

then she said she doesn't want to be a boy, 

she's glad she's a girl, 

because she wants to born babies one day.

and girls born the babies.

i said you're going to be a great mommy one day.

"i know mommy.

because you are my mommy.

you are a great mommy"

oh my girl.

thank you.

Furry Friday Fotos

our beasts.

Lord Cliverelli.

he has his minions do his bidding.

he kills them whenever he feels like it.

we are here to care for him and make sure he has the most comfortable life.

He owns all the land he can see. 

no matter where he is standing or sitting.

Jack Jack.

he is a minion.

he loves Lord Cliverelli.

He is here to please Lord Cliverelli and Dan.

if Dan is not in his sights life is not complete.

he lives for head rubs in peoples crotches and for food...any type of food you'll give him.
