{connecting}

I love having time on the weekend to sit on a shaggy rug with the boys, eat teddy grahams, and play with flash cards.

These are the connections I will cherish.

Bouncing on the bed with Dad is pretty darn fun...

We've also been practicing our self-defense moves. It can get dangerous around our house!

And don't forget the kisses...

Happy Tuesday friends!

I'm in love with the Pioneer Woman's Photoshop actions. (especially the "seventies" action)

And I'm even more in love with these two boys...

Happy Tuesday friends!

{the reality tour}

So I've noticed a few blogs lately posting pictures of how their house really looks now that they have babies. Now no offense to those who shall not be named, but I don't buy it. Even when our house is cleaned up, it still doesn't look as magazine ready as these homes do in their so called "keeping it real" shots.

So I'm going to lay it all out there and share what our house looks like on a daily basis. No staging folks. I didn't touch a thing...just started snapping.

This is where the bulk of the carnage happens...

I must say that I love these close up shots of their toys. There is so much meaning behind these piles of matchbox cars and crayons.

Ready to ride...

War zone / car dealership...

Double trouble with velcro straps...

This is where we crash with the boys first thing in the morning to watch cartoons. ..

And this corner is where all of the molded plastic toys hang out.... you can grill a fake hamburger and fill up your trike with gas. What more could you want?

How's this for keeping it real people? :)
