mmmmmmm……sweet baby emmet.
i love his name.
and he was dreamy.
have you noticed our lack of craft thursdays???
my kids have.
i realize that is a sign of having too much on my plate.
i just can’t do it.
and with so many sports practices we just don’t have the time.
BUT once the photo season is done for me….27 more days….i will be able to do it.
football will end.
volleyball will end.
we will have more time at home….i hope.
and craft thursdays will return.
annie just came up with her own project instead.
lauren’s volleyball team is so much fun to watch.
they are serious.
they hit so hard….i would never stand on the other side of them!
there is BIG NEWS at our house…..
ANNIE can TIE HER SHOES!!!
she was so excited to tell me.
she kept saying “daddy is going to be so proud of me!!!” 🙂
pretty darn cute.
she came home from school yesterday with this face.
i said “you have a mustache”
and she smiled so big and announced “YES!!! my friend did it with marker FOR FREE!!!!”
well ok…as long as you didn’t pay for it.
oh annie.

chelsea - Where did you find your sign in the back ground of your picture? the grey sign that has family rules on it/ I love it!
leonieke - pffff.. it’s a relieve to hear something is not going your way ( crafty thursdays) you still sound like a miracle mother to me! making beautifull pictures of your own children and others.. enjoying your daughters sport, and still visit lots of blogs and write your own. wow..
this dutch girl is still impressed. 🙂
Heather G. - Go Annie!! And I’m dying that “the mustache was free.”
Kimberly Dial - Emmet is soooo cute! I loved volleyball in high school (I feel certain I’d die if I tried to play now! 😉 I love your Craft Thursdays so I’ll be glad when you have more time 😉 and that Annie is a girl after my own heart. I have a feeling (a strong one!) that my oldest granddaughter Emily & her are kindred spirits! Gotta love ’em!
Shaina Brown - Love a sweet little baby named Emmet, my “baby” Emmett just turned 3. The volleyball pics make me miss my glory days, love that she isn’t wearing knee pads! And Annie? what can you say, it was free after all!
Michelle - ahhhh. . . it wasn’t even a year ago you were taking pictures of my sweet babe & that sweet Emmett makes me want to rewind to clock (or get pregnant!) Love Annie’s stash. . .too funny!
Valerie @ Chateau A la Mode - Heehee Annie…way cute!
Lori Austin - Hip hip hooray! Good job Annie! We just celebrated this milestone at our house too. I think our girls are close in age. Fun times!
Lauren looks so intense.
The baby pics are about more than I can take. Why did we stop at 2????? Sniff….
Happy weekend.
Christine H - Hi! I’ve been searching your website for awhile tonight trying to find out where you got that print on the top of the cabinet that Annie is painting in front of (see 2nd photo from the top on this post). It has all the words/sentences on it like “use kind words” ” be considerate” etc. I know that you’ve probably mentioned it before but I had no luck finding a source reference. If you wouldn’t mind sharing I’d appreciate it! thanks!
Jenny B. - Yay that Annie can tie her shoes! We’ve been working on that at our house too. I’ll have to show my 6yo son this post. Maybe knowing that Annie can do it will give him a little boost. 🙂 So funny about the “free” moustache! Has she read the book Moosetache? It’s funny. 🙂
Jenna@CallHerHappy - O my gosh! Annie cracks me up. She has an eye for a deal.

Angie G. - I love the photo of Emmet – we can’t wait to see them all!! Thank you so much! Angie
Tracy Fisher - If we lived closer I’d let you in on our whacky carpool! haha. It’s one of those carpools where everyone starts texting each other by 3pm trying to figure out how to get all of the kids to their sports… and trying to get a night off every once in awhile to make a nice dinner…haha.
Love the baby in the photo!

Kat - Oh gosh that little baby Emmet makes me want to have #5 now!!
Annie is so sweet – love the moustache and that Lauren, she is gorgeous. (Oh to have toned legs and a butt like that!!! You go girl!)
I so get why you are so busy all the time and I only have 4, but wow it is always busy!!
shauna - that top baby pic!
aaaaghh!
so great.
you are so great.
even without crafts.
Ashlyn@Pinecone - Ooooohhhh that sweet babe!!!!!! Happy weekending!
Tanya H - I love the links you share, gets me thinking about gift-giving!
heather - friends that give free mustaches are THE best kind of friends.
happy weekend!
This Farm Family's Life - We haven’t been doing very many crafts either. My oldest has been begging me. We finally made spiders last night. Ready for things to slow down also.
seriouslysassymama - Your Annie should get together with my Abby. They would totally hit it off! Oh baby Emmett. I would almost ask for the Doc to untie my tubes for a cutie like that.
Kimberlee Jost - Yay, Annie!
So glad she didn’t pay for the mustache.
Tell her I’ll give her one for free, too. 😉
Elaine Entz - oh good… now for the rest of us moms who rarely do crafts with our kids, we can feel less guilty 🙂
love love love that b/w print behind the globes. did i see that at kitchen corner?
lauren’s fun to watch… great to see her blooming in her volleyball talents…
Sarah - What type of lens/settings do you use for the volleyball pictures. I’m trying to get better pictures of my daughters games. Thanks!!
Ashley - that picture of emmet? my ovaries hurt. thanks for that. 🙂
Jodi @ The Un-Soccermom Blog - Baby Emmett is a dream!
Love the VB shots! Lauren looks fierce!
Annie is cute as always!
ingrid lapp - I just found your blog about a week ago and have spent a lot of time reading thru all of your old posts. Very enjoyable….however the laundry piled up and we didn’t eat very good meals 🙂
ps. loved every one of them
Jen Brandt - LOVE…Annie’s moustache and sweet baby Emmet. Have a wonderful weekend, Meg!
Jennifer - Oh my goodness, Emmet is one handsome dude! Beautiful photograph.
Kate B. - Lauren’s not wearing knee pads. How tough is that girl?
Holly - cute little Annie!
happygirl - Such a precious baby. LOVE the free mustache. LOVE the kids noticing the crafting is missing. It lets me know they LOVE it and it’s not just a photo op. Things like this are what make you the authentic and special blogger you are. 🙂
