Oh there is one big weekend coming up. I have 6 photo sessions this weekend. I'm excited to meet new people and get some great pics. But I'm also a little worried. I've never done that many sessions in one weekend and in this kind of heat. I'm sure it will be fine. I just need to remember to pack lots of water!!!
Sunday our Heather is coming home. Thank goodness. Hulk and I have been missing her like crazy. It's only been three weeks since we saw her but that is a long time for us. Hopefully we can get the house all put back together and redecorated with her help. She is so good at that stuff. And maybe she can manage the kiddo while I edit all the pictures I will have taken.
If you don't hear from me for a bit don't worry. Nothing will be wrong. I'll just be swimming in pics.

Love These Children!
Darby's babies are getting so big! And Caden is such a super star brother. I just love them! I really really love them. Even that girl. Who knew I could ever become fascinated with hair bows and tutu's. But I am when it comes to her. Go figure!

Some Things I Say
"Why are their dinosaurs in the toilet?"
"No dinosaurs do not swim in the toilet."
"No don't bring your floaties in here. That won't help! Just don't put the dinosaurs in the toilet!"
"Please don't step on my leg fat. That hurts Mommy."
"Licking the window is not a good choice."
"Well your finger would stop hurting if you would just not bite it."
"Do you understand anything I say to you???"
"Dinosaurs should not go in the dishwasher either."
"Please take the rocks out of your mouth."
"I'm sorry your leg is scared but you will still have to go to bed."
"I love you but you must go to sleep now!!!"
"No dinosaurs do not swim in the toilet."
"No don't bring your floaties in here. That won't help! Just don't put the dinosaurs in the toilet!"

It Worked!
Well my plan worked. I got some fun new pictures of the boy. He did great! He cracks me up. As I was editing pictures I was laughing out loud at some of them. He is so animated. He is turning into such a big boy!
He is 28 months now. He has become obsessed with the movie Finding Nemo and would watch it 10 times a day if I let him. He also still really loves his dinosaurs. He likes to pretend to be a dinosaur and scare me. He is also really sweet and calls the small dinosaurs his babies. All the big ones are mamas. He will get my dish towels and wrap them up and rock them. He really is a gentle giant... Well most of the time anyways.
He is singing and talking more every day. He can completly do his ABC's, Jesus Loves Me, Row Row Row Your Boat, 5 Little Monkeys, and a silly song I made up about fish and sharks. He likes to "help" with "jobs" and often says to me "Sylas did job". And anytime he has done something a little naughty like draw on the wall or dump all the raisins on the floor he looks at me with these big sad eyes and says very loudly, "Sylas did it". It's like he is tattling on someone else. Crazy kid!
So that's my boy. I love him. I think I just might keep him!!!

Blessed To Be Busy
I've been busy. Really busy with pictures. And I'm so very blessed to be busy! My photography while fun is also what keeps us afloat. My regular job pays the mortgage and daycare and gives me insurance. But those pictures pay for everything else. So the busier the better! Busy is a blessing!
However, I just realized today that I haven't taken pictures of my own kid in awhile. So this evening the goal is to get some good shots of my own boy. We will see if he cooperates with that plan. He has been napping for 2 hours already so I would think with a great nap he should be a happy boy. I guess we will find out soon enough...

My Desk
My desk is a trap. If anything attempts to pass by my desk it is sucked in and cannot escape. My desk seriously takes hostage any item that considers meandering by. What's really frightening is that every Friday night I set the timer for 30 minutes and clean my desk. Every Friday when I go to bed my desk is clean and pretty and neat. Today is Wednesday. Do you want to see what my desk looks like by Wednesday???? Cover your eyes if you scare easily!

Once Upon A Time
Once upon a time I was a vegetarian except on Fridays. I didn't eat meat or dairy except on Fridays. And I ate lots of veggies and fruit and rice and beans. And my blood sugar got a little bit high. And then I got a kidney infection and my blood sugar got really really high. And the dietician says I can't be a vegetarian anymore. Not even just 6 days a week. I have to eat the meat my friends.
So since last Thursday I'm no longer a vegetarian any day of the week. My stint as a 6 day a week vegetarian didn't last long. But I tried it. I am good at some things. Being a vegetarian is not one of those things. Along with telling me I can't be a part time vegetarian the dietician also gave me a lot of other rules. There are lots of things I can and can't eat. In fact this diet is much different then the first diabetic diet I was on years ago when I was diagnosed. In some ways I think it's harder and in other ways it's easier. I can tell you though I'm hungry. Hungry, hungry, would almost eat my baby hungry. It's a good thing I'm not a canibal.
But my blood sugar is stablizing. I know my infection is improving so that helps but I've been following this stupid eating meat and no other stuff I really like diet and it's working. I can complain all I want but the truth is if I just do as they say I feel better. It's a lot of damn work but I do feel better. So I'm gonna stick with it I suppose. But for the record I would like to be a vegetarian except on Fridays and I'm very hungry!
