February Mini Vaca

I took the luxury of planning out a long weekend every month till Christmas. My March one is in 2 weeks for my little big girls birthday! I think everyone needs 4-5 days off in a row once a month, don't you??

Here is a little of what went down in my house.  We didn't finish everything, but that is okay.  And I started working on some really cute props that I still have to keep under-wraps until the sessions :)

we rearragned the girls room and this big open space will be the home of their new ballet bar this week! 

of course, there was lots of playing.  





playing all together! 



the best part about this...no one told her to do it! sweet love for her bother. 



we got a timer for the kids room - this is when it went off! - and it seems to be working like a charm.  timer goes off and we clean up and go to bed.  wonderful! 

when sisters turn their backs on their brother....he eats their tutus.

then we started on painting the new studio! 

the kids like the desk moved now - it has turned into a tunnel


I always do a horrible job at taking before pictures so you can tell the difference in the afters. So here is my last minute before - the original color of our office before it went very, very white. 

going white.  Did you know it takes a lot of paint to go white??? we do now. 

does this happen to anyone else when they repaint/move/etc? everything in the entire room goes in one corner?



we can finally sit up! 


Next months mini vaca will hopefully include hours of setting up lighting equipment, refinishing furniture in the kitchen and more playing :)

Superbowl fun!

GIANTS WIN!! Wohoo! Now I will have to wait till next week to see if I need to get a new jersey for next season...my loyalties lie with my quarterback!

Here is some football fun we had last night - those who are dieting, Im sorry. Disclaimer, I did not eat any of it while making, which killed me! I had to rely on the on kids "mmmmm" to know that it was all good!

cupcakes taking shape! 

yep....dinner is served.  

I think we like cheep pizza!  She was a complete mess by this point.

yep. mess....but lovin momma cooking and dancing in the kitchen! 

I didn't want my football to have holes - so I cute pieces of cupcake and stuck them inbetween. 

ready for kick off! 

ready for the game! 

:)

and yes, Ella was here this weekend, BUT...my big girl decided she didn't want to clean her room and do her chores so she didn't get to have much baking fun with us.  She did, however, redeem herself and had a great Superbowl time with her cousins  :)

Our week

Since my last post was kinda down....I thought I would show you what our week looked like this week.  A lot of nothing!  It was great.  We finally caught up with the rest of the technological world - I got a new laptop so I could leave my office when editing and because the store ran an awesome deal - we got a HP tablet too!! Awesome! I don't know what Im going to do with all these fun new toys - but I know I won't be bored during Ella's dance class anymore.  I am grateful for the slow week...because I had 2 sessions today, 2 tomorrow, one Monday, one Tuesday and one Thursday - sigh.  See why I wanted a new laptop?  :)

Fall Picture Time

Today we did the kids fall pictures (as you can see I didn't wait too long to edit!)  As many of you know - I despise taking my own kids pictures.  You know how your kids act better for someone else than you?  Same thing goes for a photographers kids.  But - I do see light at the end of the tunnel - Ella has improved greatly which means, hopefully, that Avery will too in time.  Nevertheless - I love them! :)






this is typical Avery - and the one most likely of the two to go on the wall  :) 

love. 

my little man. 


this is how she spent most of the session....
