whatever

robin bird - good morning! i stopped by today (it is sunday) for another visit but since you hadn’t updated your blog i went backwards 🙂 these photos are simply the sweetest ever baby shots! i also really laughed seeing explanation for all that tongue wagging 🙂 yes you were quite lucky!
xo

JimaieMarie - what a GORGEOUS little girl!! oh my goodness!!
you captured such PRECIOUS pictures of her!
so cute.

Lanny Stanard - Megan, you make me laugh!
Lanny:)

Peggy Rice - Hi Meg!
That is so exciting that you emailed. I love your blog! I have been a blog stalker for a while now and thought I would share it with others.
My family and I did recently move to Paris and it has been an adventure. I think my blog doubles as therapy. Stay tuned I just might go crazy online for all to see.

PamperingBeki - Megan, those are beautiful!! I love the one of her picking flowers.

traci - she is so cute and getting so big already. i just love her name!!! great photos of her – love the tongue – so cute!!

Jenny Pocknall - Gorgeous!

Amy Walker - She is absolutely beautiful and she has two great parents! Megan, you take such great pictures, always capturing the wonderful things life has to offer if we just slow down enough to “catch” them:)

chris - Hey hey , thanks for stopping by as always I love to hear from you , did I talk you out of getting a puppy , if not today’s dog dilema was that my dogs anal sac is absessed , yes that right clogged and infected but it burst through the skin and is now oozing constantly , a slow ooze , the vet came by and tried to empty it and treadted $240.00 later he should be able to get better now , if you want I dog I will mail you one of mine, kidding of course, but wow what a crazy life I lead in part to those two dogs I have .
Yes that show is a show , it is Canadian show , you would be great , I do believe they go everywhere , you should sign up , they allow you to makeover a room , then the designer does it his way , they go to the street and ask people to choose which one they like than the home owner gets to keep which ever one they want , not bad huh. Heck I should sign up too.

PamperingBeki - How fun! My kids don’t even bother with the rainboots, just splash in their bare feet. 🙂 (the boots are much cuter though)

Nancy - Wish I had me some kitty boots to go outside and play in the puddles. What fun. The photos are great!

Staci - We had a day just like that last week…except, we weren’t able to take advantage of the dark clouds and sleeping in because of ZOO CAMP! Darn it! Dark clouds…if you are out there, please come back on a day when we really can sleep in! Great Pics by the way!

traci - fun in the puddles – i remember those days. i so love how you capture your kids doing all the fun stuff. i use to love to ride my bike in/and after a big rain.

Shanan - What great pictures! We haven’t had rain in months and I miss it.. the smell, how green it makes everything, and the kids playing in the puddles.

Chrissie - Back in the day was Toss Across remember that game. Now here country people call it Corn Hole. People are serious when they play too.
Take care, Chrissie

Michelle - i’m going to target today! i hoooopeee they still have one! love your photos meg and your inspiration to have fun : )

Shanan - OK, you have to tell me what state you live in! Everything is so green and beautiful. That game looks like a blast.. good old family fun in the sun. Nothing better.

melissa @ the inspired room - Looks fun, I am going to look for that!

emily - That looks like such fun. I may have my dad whip me up one of those (he’s a woodshop teacher.) and send it to Texas. I love it!

mom - Should I bring the croquet set over the 4th?

danelle - games? oh you mean we are supposed to play with our kids?? ha, so kidding. but seriously we have not done much playing this summer, just been to baseball/softball games…playing catch in the front yard is the extent of what we have done. we need to get with it and be good parents too

traci - that one is cool. i have never seen one with that many holes – ours only has one. the kids love to play that. it’s a huge thing with karlies friends right now. they have “bag” tournaments (as they call it).

Lanny Stanard - How fun, and did you say Target! looks like a great game for all seasons really!
Lanny:)

Stephanie - Absolutely creative! I wonder what your daughter will be when she grows up! Her junk man is a keeper for sure!

mallory Heffron - what a great idea, way to cute,

traci - talby – MR. JUNKMAN IS AWESOME!!!!! you did a wonderful job.
how cute meg. i bet the boys are very jealous and out scouting for junk even as i type. you have wonderfully creative kids. i love seeing what they create!!! i wonder where they get it from?

Jennifer P. - I think you’ve got a little mixed media artist on your hands! And “green art” IS all the rage right now….
Way to go Talby!

Allikayesmama - Not surprising that you have creative kids!! I love that!

mom - That is fabulous! Tell Talby that grandma is very proud of her too, for being so creative. I love the pumpkin head! What are the pieces across the bottom?

Rebecca R. - that clip?
says it ALL.

Liz - Oh Meg. Me too. Last week, very bad. Even when I know it’s coming… somehow that doesnt help. I’m surprised, depressed, pissy and crying anyway. So sorry.

Jennifer P. - That commercial parody was just on SNL last night! Too funny! Although I found myself totally weighing the options of turning into a she-wolf once a year if it meant no aunt-Flo for the rest of the year. PMS-ing is the worst…
Hope the coffee and tears combo. did a little to calm your spirits. Hang in there!

Liz - At least you got a clean fridge out of a crappy day. Sending soothing vibes your way!

Lanny Stanard - Oh my goodness I’m laughing so hard… I no longer get PMS… I so very happy but when I did watch out. Hope you have a good week-end.
Lanny:)

Crystal - Sounds like something my husbands would say. He is away on a business trip at the moment…when he was about to hang up with me yesterday he said “Holla at you lata girl” in his best playa voice. THAT is my husband. (as I shake my head)

lorel - I am with you too – after telling you the other day that I thought I didn’t have PMS symptoms very often anymore! Last night, Kevin was walking up the stairs, and I was following. He stopped and turned around and I ran into him, and his elbow hit my eyebrow. I said, “that kind of hurts” and next thing I know I am bawling! He just hugged me, bewildered, and said “I’m sorry, you’re okay…”
Whatever… glad you made it through. We all do somehow.
Thanks for all the beautiful family posts you’ve been doing lately. They are just amazing. So glad you’re doing this.

Leigh Ann - I am SOOO with you. It was one of those lonely, incredibly frustrating days for me too!!! Let’s hope the rest of the weekend is better.

Linda - I hear you…I am PMS-ing big time!! I feel frustrated, lonely, irritable, bored, overwhelmed, underwhelmed, and whiney!!
Surely you’re not that bad??!!

trish - I so feel your pain!!!
and that clip is freakin hilarious.
what was that from sonic that had a double shot in it?
we just got our first sonic in our town and it is still 20 minutes from my house, but maybe worth the drive?
deep breaths!

Leah - I think I know what your talking about! I had a nervous breakdown yesterday from buying a bed on craigslist that I ended up hating and it smelled like smoke! Thankfully, God blessed me with a great husband who held me as a cried (most of the night) and got the guy to take the bed back today. By the way… my tiny house is clean now too;)

Melissa's Cozy Teacup - For me, it’s usually a steak and a glass of wine that gets me through. Hang in there.

kristin - bless you.
and bless me.
i hear you.

Joy - I know from bad experiences with dogs. What I learned is to research, research and research some more to find out what breed of dog is best suited to your lifestyle. Some dogs are bred to work, and they will need lots of discipline and exercise. Some are bred for companionship and need less exercise. That’s why we chose the Boston Terrier. Also because they are marvelous with people of all ages.

melissa @ the inspired room - We just got a hamster. Eek. Not as cute as these pups!

meleea - we have a 9 month old goldendoodle and we are not dog people. we have had bad dog experiences before, so i worked my butt off for the first 5 months raising this baby and we would not trade it for anything! he is fabulous and adorable and amazing! everywhere we go people love him!!

chris - I just had to clean poop out of my dog’s mouth , nice huh , he even had a muzzle on to prevent him from digging up goodies , grubs out of the earth like he tends to do, so the muzzle had poop in it too, cleaned that , then I scraped poop and dirt out of his paws, its not every day these gross things happen , but I’m sure you have plenty of time for these kinds of events , five kids can’t keep you that busy.
🙂 reality .

Andrea - Oh my goodness….how adorable…..How could he say no? I agree, take him with you and let him hold them and see the munchkins holding them….if that doesn’t soften him up….then he is surely related to my heartless husband who continues to say no to puppies!!!!! Good luck. I am pulling for you!

Mrs. Fox - Oh my goodness! I’m a big softy when it comes to animals anyway. But those first few months are a trial. Even my Gerrard, who was the worlds easiest dog to house train, had me in tears a time or two.
Gads! Those sweet little faces . . .

chris - I smell poo in your future.

cynthia - “the logical sane one”…
there always has to be one in the group!
we have one too.
his name is daddy.
good luck to you!

pam - AHH! We just came from those puppies. My girls beg to go back all the time! We have a dog from an earlier litter…all golden…and he’s so great with the kids. Wonderful temperment. Awesome blood line. And we have never had a dog we were good with either. (although he did get out and chase a skunk a couple months back and had to go into quarantine for rabies…but other than that we’re getting better with dogs) 🙂
But if Craig says NO…

Leslie - We have a labradoodle and she is the most amazing dog! I have pictures of me holding her when she was that size. You would never regret bringing one home.

kari & kijsa - Sigh!! We are in love with that little cutie!!! Beautiful photos!!
blessings,
kari & kijsa

Liz - oh oh oh those puppies are tooooo cute. i love it. we are picking up a puppy in the next week on our way back from a road trip. sooo cute.

Linda - Your little Annie is the funniest kid!! My youngest son could sleep like that…anywhere, anytime!! Did I mention she is scrumptious??

Jennifer P. - Are you sure you didn’t slip something into Annie’s drink? That’s one CRASHED kid :)!
It looked like such a fun visit from your sister.
And about your dad post (which I loved!)–I think that that’s the second time I’ve seen a picture of you as a child and you and Lauren look soooo much alike!

Heather (aka Digby's mom) - Lorel — you look so great and your girls are so beautiful!! (Megan — you know you always look great and your girls are gorgeous too — and your boys are so handsome!) I love the photos!

southernseven - I thought your comment on Annie dressing herself and it was unique was funny because Annie is always unique and just as cute as a bug. The toothless grin niece looks like Lauren in that photo with her coloring. I wish I could tell the story with photos like you. I always have them smiling at the camera, I am trying to study you to see the angles and way you capture them so I can be like you when I grow up.

Jilly - I LOVE the picture of Annie!

Mrs. Fox - That last photo is priceless.

traci - all the pictures are great but the last one of annie is just crazy funny and sooooo sweet!! My kids have fallen asleep in some odd places but never standing up. I have a sister and I agree…they are the best.
