Summer Mysteries

Some of these things may or may not ever be explained.

Does lip gloss go better on the lips or all over the face?

How long can this curious george book keep Lincoln entertained on the potty?

If you look closely just below the bowl and to the right a little there is a dirty footprint on my counter. Can you tell who's size 9 that is?

Why was the sky covered with this weird smoke and the sun was red? A 25,000+ acre fire pretty close to our town.

How in the world did I get my kids to eat every bite of their veggie lasagna that doesn't even have noodles in it? Grilled eggplant, zucchini, potatoes, even clearance organic ricotta.

I love this look, his playful engaged face.

And the final mystery of the summer, who does this little boy look like? I guess he looks like Warner but it amazes me how his facial expressions can change in just the few seconds between pictures. His little hair line is also starting to come in so he's not quite so bald any more. I think his hair will be more similar to Dylan's than Lincoln's so far.

His focused on Mommy look.

His watching tv look.

His handsome, almost unbearably adorable look.

Keeping up with the Sadlers

Lincoln favorite new past time, listen closely for "Dada" Dylan had cowboy day at school and could dress up and meet "real cowboys". We live in a hick town and his school was having an assembly about the cowboy way , or having character. Yes, Lincoln's bib is purplish, but it says I Love my Sister so it's ok :) Cute big boy outfit Auntie Jackie got Lincoln, while sticking out his tongue. I think it looks like a little pickle. Weird, another tongue shot, he does it a lot. While playing with a plush orange (like the fruit) it sort of landed like this and I thought it looked a little like a bikini top and snapped a pic. Hey you have to have fun with life right?

Soaking it all In

Because I have a bad habit of zoning out when the tv is on, I've turned it off and told myself it can't come on until a rerun of a show I wanted to see comes on at 11. I can't stay up late so I'm trying to watch shows that will rerun, which is most of them outside of the basic cable channels. So obviously instead of working on my homework about Intercultural Crossings in Indian Music while Lincoln is taking a nap, I'm on here updating you on the trivial matters of my day. A friend told me an interesting revelation the other day. "When you have a child that is an infant you are the most physically exhausted. When you have a child that is just entering school aged you are the most mentally exhausted. When you have a teenager you are the most emotionally exhausted." So the way I see it, since I have one in each category I'm basically the most exhausted I'm going to get and since I'm seeming to do ok, it's only going to get easier from here. Y...

New Moves

So I officially started feeling the baby moving around this week, Tuesday to be exact, and now I feel dancing all the time. It's pretty weird because it has been so long since I've housed a fetus and I know no one else can feel it from the outside, but it's really real. The picture I took on the left shows me holding a photo of a 17week baby to scale. It's hard to imagine something that big is fitting inside of me already :) We had the "Mom" talk today inside the Dollar Store. Danielle asked me if it was ok if she could call me Mom. She says I treat her the way a mom should treat her daughter and that made me so proud. I am so glad that even though we have our daily and weekly ups and downs that our family unit is really coming together.
