The Eerie Quiet

School has been in session for a week and a half... but today for the first time it feels and sounds very quiet. Too quiet, even with Ryder snoring a few feet away. Maybe it is because I am really good at just living in the moment or maybe it was because Lucas was pretty stuffy so I debated if I should send him to school or not.... maybe reality is finally sinking in, so well I might just cry a little today.

So while I am being all nostalgic and realizing my babies are growing up and I can't always protect them every second, I figured I would get more nostalgic by linking up with Oswald Cutie's Monday Mugs for an easy Monday post.

This week's theme is Oh the Things they Get Into

The dishwasher (Lucas about 1 year old)

The bathroom cupboard-and trying to get mom's makeup- that was quickly stopped

(and yes we did have pants for Lucas)

Cereal--and Seriously look at that attitude already! I should have known


And more cupboards-the kitchen ones this time

So head over and link up!
And speaking of linking-- Next Tuesday--the 31st will be the day to link up with Ten Things to Smile About!!

  11. I love her face in the cereal shot! You really can see her personality! Love that Lucas wanted to get into your make-up :-) ha ha!

    Sometimes a good cry is necessary! Grab your box of tissues and go for it!

  12. It's ok to cry. I managed not to, but only because I was so busy moaning in pain all day.

  13. Ha ha! My kids are so dirty today, I am afraid the dishwasher might be the only thing to get them clean.
