Project 365 1/31 - 2/9

1/31/12 - last day of January and it was 60degrees! So after picking up the kids we headed to the park and played! Kids had the BEST time...and so did Babe& I :)

2/1/12 - looked forward to this time with her all day

2/2/12- princess and monkey are already into video games?! Fun night :)

NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED ON THE 3rd...Oops!

2/4/12 - BUSY day filled with a baby shower and 2 birthday parties, then to nana and poppops! They got out the popcorn machine and all the kids were amazed! Sooo much fun :)

2/5/12 - picked up kids from nana and poppops and headed over the Ernests for their superbowl party! The kids played awesome together! I swear princess & F could pass as sisters :)

Happy Birthday, Nana...miss you soooo much

2/6/12 - there was so many pics to choose from today. From Buddys 100 cheerios to Princess's stamps on the wall to Monkeys big bump from the falling stool...so I decided to go with a "happy" pic of Princess and Monkey dancing to a sign language video that had them captivated :) Happy Monday!

2/7/12 - The moon was incredible tonight. This picture doesn't do it justice to how big and beautiful it was!

2/8/12 - fun day. Worked from home. It snowed. Kids were great all night. :)

2/9/12 - oh this girl. She's def a night owl and def doesn't get that from me. She knows how to drive me crazy, actually, we know how to drive each other crazy. But at the end of the day, after she's changed her pjs 10x and come back into my room 20x, one thing is for sure...I couldn't love her more

Project 365

So I'm behind on my once a week post for this Project 365, but, I've been posting them daily on my FB! Here are the ones from 1/11/12 - 1/30/12 :)

1/11/12- these 2 are inseperable. If it werent for school (and a couple other things) theyd hang out all day. And yes, They include Princess, But i cant help But adore their brotherly bond :) It melts my heart to see them laughing and playing together

1/12/12- I LOVE nights when Babe is home! Unfortuneately he's home tonight bc he had a Dr appt...more meds for him...2nd time since I've met him! Crazy! Anyway...I'm so glad he's home tonight! And so are the kids!

1/13/12 - Friday the 13th...cant be a bad day when you wake up to this! Worked from home then went over Kats for some girl time while the Kids went crazy :)

1/14/12 - Just HAD to get his Hair cut today after basketball. Tried a new Place and i think the boys found their "small town" barber shop :)

1/15/12 - Ravens sunday! We went to church then headed to Babees parents for the game! They won :)

1/16/12 - Happy MLK day! It was just Buddy and I most the day. And we relaxed. He played skylanders literally all day. I helped him play after finishing up the 2nd Hunger Games book! And C came over for a little, too!

1/17/12 - these 2 + bath time = lots and lots of laughs and splashes :) I'm surprised I got this pic without getting my phone soaked ;)

1/18/12 - I'm not sure when it happened, but at some point Buddy turned from little kid to big kid. And it amazes me. The things he knows...how he learns so quickly and easily...the amazing big brother he proves to be...I'm just in shock. Before my very own eyes he's "grown up". I hope his next stage isn't overnight...or I hope I realize when its happening.

Also, Happy Birthday to my sissy ♥

 I DO NOT HAVE A PIC FOR THE 19TH. THIS IS B/C MONKEY BIT BUDDY...SO HARD BUDDY STILL HAS A BRUISE. SO...I COULD OF TOOK A PIC OF THAT, BUT WHO WANTS TO REMEMBER IT?!

1/20/12 - Thanks Aunt Jul for the (pay it forward) Ravens scarf! I LOVE it :)

1/21/12 - First snow of the year! Not a lot, but PERFECT for sledding! And I think we did this at least half the day :) Kids should sleep good tonight ;)

1/22/12 - during half time of the ravens game, colin and buddy decided to wrestle! The adults had a blast watching them...even monkey was cheering em on...and no one got hurt :)

1/23/12 - momma girl :)

1/24/12- I was going to post a pic from our fun night out at chic fil a with friends, but had to post this pic after hearing this conversation on my way back from putting Monkey to bed...Princess to Buddy: "Buddy. Why you have your shirt off?" Buddy: "b/c I like to" Princess: "Ok. Me too!"

1/25/12 - Thanks to Pinterest, the kids had a super fun bath tonight! :) glow sticks in the tub = awesome :)

1/26/12 - I had put tape on the drawers to keep Monkey from opening them (cheap way, lol), but he got the tape off and then couldn't get it off his hands. Lol

1/27/12 - we've got a lot of birthday parties coming up so the kids started making the birthday cards tonight. We always do home made birthday cards for friends and family...means more :)

1/28/12 - sarahs baby shower was today! :) Baby T is one loved baby already!

1/29/12 - Babe made spare ribs for dinner and Monkey is the only kiddo who enjoyed them with us! And he LOVED them :)
It was a pretty relaxing Sunday...I went to brunch with friends, babe took buddy to a friends and we all just hung out the rest of the day :)

1/30/12 - this is our elliptical. Its not the best, but, I WILL start using it again :) I went to the gym at work today and plan on making it a part of my normal schedule again :)

Project 365

I love taking pictures. You know this. I know this. So when I heard about Project 365 I thought "Wow! This is so for me!" And i've been doing it! I have the album on my facebook, and update it daily there, but I think I'm going to update it weekly here on the blog :0)

So from 1/1/12 - 1/10/12...here are my pictures :)  

1/1/12 - Happy New Year! Monkey slept in til 6, Princess woke up and willingly shared (without us asking) and Buddy woke up stating since it was the new year he wasn't going to play video games or on his ipod - he was going to spend it with us (without us asking!)

1/2/12 - Spent the day with Babe's parents - Babe and his dad went to the movies - then we all wentto Cracker Barrel for dinner :)

1/3/12- Monkeys home with a fever :( I'm working from home and so is Babe. Buddy is back to school and Princess was excited to show her friends at school her new Minnie pillow pet :)

1/4/12— too cute. Princess is swimming in these XS pjs but insists on wearing them :) She even put a belt on! This pic will be awesome to look at when She actually fits in them...I say at around 7 yrs?!

1/5/12- this is the project I'm working on at work...BOND. I am very thankful for my job and the opportunities I've been given working for SSA. And after something I was told today, and talking with Babe about it, I'm choosing to take what I was told in a positive way. :) I'm proud of what I do to help the public and can only get better at it!

1/6/12 - first, a very happy birthday to my Daddy! Now for the pic...I took this while sitting at the bus stop waiting for Buddy. Its very rare that we *dont* see beautiful skies like this where we live. It reminds me how happy and blessed we are to have made our home here. A great place to raise the family, for the kids to go to school and the perfect place for all to make beautiful memories ♥ I seriously love it here!

1/7/12 - celebrating my dad and sisters bday today! We've been doing these bday celebrations since I can remember and I really hope they continue with ours kids, too :)

1/8/12 - my parents got Buddy this basketball hoop for Christmas :) Buddy LOVES sports...basketball being close to the top of his list! Today Babe and my dad put it together! Buddys out there now playing with his best bud C, Babe and Mr. E :) thanks Mom and Dad for the awesome gift!

1/9/12 - Evenings are pretty crazy in the Harper household. Between dinner and homework and changing diapers and playing and baths and reading and watching Caillou...whew...but tonight we put on some music and just danced. The kids always love it and so do i :)

1/10/12 - Buddys 1st spelling test :) Makes a momma and dadda proud :) He came home with his 2nd list this week and kept bugging me to test him, LOL! I'm glad he's so excited about it :)
