A Day in the Life: 30

Since Mason gets his "A Day in the Life" posts, I figured I could do one of my own. Heck, it's only once a year. Too bad every day isn't as exciting as this one... :)

Such a perfect way to usher in my 30's.

Thank you so much to my wonderful friends and family.

I am SO incredibly blessed!

10 on 10 :: May 2011

I did it! I remembered and took 10 pictures of our day today to share. Here we go...

You know it's going to be a good day when 7:15am looks like this:

He'll eat pretty much anything served on licensed "Cars" dishes.

Technically two pictures, but the build-a-fort meets hide-and-seek game is better represented with both.

An early birthday present for Jaime. Chocolate chip pancakes in a basket. Just add an egg and a cup of water.

Nanna, graciously fixing Mason's new crew cut.

Nap time! Mostly wasted spent on Pinterest and Blogger. Please note the laundry waiting to be folded in the background...

Mason's "cupcake" (a blueberry muffin with whipped cream on top). And yep, dirty dishes in the sink. Let's be real here.

The last of Matt's birthday week. Mel's Oreo Cookie Cupcakes I made and dropped off at work for him.

4 months from TODAY I'll be in a wedding dress! So until then, you can find me here at least 3 days a week. Thank goodness for the massive and well-staffed Kids Club.

Finally, a little silliness to be found on the kitchen floor while I made enchiladas for dinner tonight. My favorite part is how you can see M's cars perfectly and meticulously aligned. That child is no doubt his mother's son, wouldn't you say?

And how was your day?

A Day in the Life: 2 years

Normally, I don't add anything but captioned photos to the "A Day in the Life" posts, but I have to share our shot experience from the doctor's office yesterday. After the doctor finished with her exam and we said goodbye, as I got Mason dressed I explained to him, "A nurse is going to come in next and she is going to give you a poke in the arm and it's going to feel like a pinch."

Mason repeated, "Poke in the arm, feel like a pinch."

"That's right," I told him, "and when she's finished we'll go back into the lobby and see the fish again."

"Go see fish", Mason replied.

So in comes the nurse and her needle. I take Mason's left arm out of his shirt and he doesn't take his eyes off the nurse as she sticks the needle in his arm.

Nothing.

Not even a flinch!

She pulled out the needle, grabbed the Band Aid, and Mason wanted to help her put it on.

THAT. IS. IT.

No crying, no tears, no screaming.

Just me and the nurse, looking at each other like, "Did that just happen?"

And off we went, to see the fish.

Such a great day with this little two year old! :)
