August 9 = Meme Day

Oops.  No pictures again today.  But, again, I have this:

August 8 = No Real Pictures Day

Oops.  I didn't take any pictures today.  But I do have this:

And this!  We were there!

March 17 = St. Patrick's Day/Gramps Birthday

First I'm going to do a little Throwback Thursday and share this gem from 3 years ago:

 

Liam spent most of the day in the CDC today so Malia and I did some shopping.  Here she is in an appropriately colored chair at Barnes and Noble:

 I found these super stretchy hair ties so I decided to try pigtails today since she's grown a little more cooperative:

After we picked Liam up we had dinner at Chickfila.  I'm so proud of myself that this is the only Chickfila trip we've made since Zachary's been gone. 

Also, I had to share this Facebook meme because it's so funny.

And Zachary and his chief and his chief's friend went to a Miami Heat game tonight and he sent me this picture- I was so happy for him that he got to experience it! 

March 6 = No Pictures Day

I have no pictures from today and since I'm writing about March 6th on March 21st I also have no memories of today.  But I did take a screenshot of this Facebook meme and sent it to Zachary and will now share it with you.

March 2 = Playdate Day

I took so few pictures today!  One of the two I'm going to share isn't even mine but it is funny:

Our friends, Amy and Evie, came over today. Evie had a dentist appointment close to our house so they ran by afterwards.  Amy and I tried to chat while the kids went up and down the stairs.  Otherwise, we had a pretty routine day but Liam didn't sleep very well last night and didn't get a nap today so he crashed hard.  I know this is hard to see but just trust me that he has a blanket over his head and his dead LeapPad beside him.  He was also snoring.  Sleeping kids are the best.

January 29 = Trampoline Day

First, I think this is so cool- you answer questions about your beliefs, and this quiz shows you what candidate agrees with you!  If you want to take it, click here!

Anyway- Liam has warmed up to the trampoline a little bit- he's not doing too much jumping yet... I think he's still getting comfortable with it.

Also... this facebook meme made me laugh and while I've never put laundry in the oven, I wouldn't be surprised if I did.

January 9 = Recovery Day

We were up pretty late last night and both kids were up a couple of times during the night- and of course I had one ear open, so to speak.  So today we had a super lazy day.  I took this picture to share with the grandparents to let them know she was back to herself:

Liam was super sleepy all day- you can tell because this rarely happens:

 And I saw this on Facebook and thought it was hilarious and accurate.

December 27 = Build a Fort Day

We got in relatively late last night so we did a little unpacking and relaxed.  But tonight, Zachary got into one of Liam's Christmas gifts- this one was from Great Aunt Lynn- a fort kit!  Zachary made one that we put next to Liam's bed- Liam was in there and Malia came to find him:

Also, I saw this on facebook and thought it was hilarious.  And accurate.  Sigh. 

November 22 = First Birthday Present Day

So, I've probably mentioned it before but Zachary and I are terrible about saving gifts for the day for which they are intended.  Also, Zachary mentioned, as we were planning Christmas gifts, that I am a unique gift giver.  Not that my gifts are unique, but that I am very, very practical.  I like to get people things that I know they need or that I know they'll use.  My favorite thing to do is when I hear someone mention that they need something to make a mental note of it and grab it.  So after he pointed this out, I decided to get him something with no practical use at all to show I'm flexible.  I had seen this ball in a yoga magazine- it has little knobs on it that make it bounce in unpredictable ways- it's good for baseball players to quicken their reaction times for fielding ground balls but I thought Zachary would have fun with it- I pictured him taking it into work and bouncing it through their really long hall.  He had a beer or two when we were playing with it which made him determined to "field" every throw I made and one of them bounced way out his way but that didn't stop him.  He dove for it, putting all of his weight on his pinky and it's not going to be great tomorrow.  I think I'll go back to my practical gifts for Christmas.

Here's Malia with the ball- hopefully she keeps it and doesn't let her Daddy play with it anymore.

And here are two random things I saw on facebook today that I feel like sharing.
