Everyday Moments

Life...unedited. 

These random iPhone photos are dark, blurry, and untouched,

but they capture everyday moments from the last couple weeks.

Hadley fell asleep on the ride home from her babysitter's house (which is unusual):

Savannah, who was fighting a cold last week, fell asleep on the way home from school:

This was my Valentine's Day homework assignment from Savannah's teacher:

On Valentine's Day, Savannah loved reading the reasons we love her:

Last Thursday, Savannah had an afterschool playdate with her friend Caleb. The kids enjoyed playing with kinetic sand at our kitchen table:

This weekend it was Savannah's turn to take home Charlie, a stuffed dog and her class mascot. As part of a class assignment, I took pictures of Savannah and Charlie on their adventures:

Charlie rode with Savannah on our way to get groceries at Walmart: 

Charlie went with Savannah to the Sweetheart Dance:

In a class notebook, Savannah wrote about her adventures with Charlie:

Savannah wrote about how Charlie went with her to the Sweetheart Dance with Daddy and to the mall with Mommy and Hadley:

Last Friday night, our family went to Home Depot to price out blocks for the retaining wall that Tal will be building in our backyard:

While Tal was looking at blocks, Savannah and Hadley entertained themselves by riding in a wagon:

Hadley pulled this wagon by herself:

On Saturday morning, Savannah fell asleep on the way to the mall:

At the mall, the girls played in the play area:

For about 15 min, we were the only ones in the play area:

Savannah enjoyed walking around the outside of the Cape Hatteras lighthouse:

While we were at the mall, we texted Tal to see which tie he wanted to wear to the Sweetheart Dance. He chose the top one:

We spotted Hadley's name on some mall merchandise:

After playing and shopping at the mall, the girls and I ate lunch at Chipotle:

At the mall, Savannah used her birthday money from Grandma Barbara to buy a reading, spelling, and math workbook...

...and some new earrings. 

Over the last two days, Savannah has worn the emoji earrings and heart dangly earrings:

As I've mentioned before, Tal and I do our cooking on the weekends and eat the leftovers during the week. While the girls and I were at the mall on Saturday, Tal baked salmon and talapia, as well as cooked hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill. He also made rice and potatoes for side items (in the Tupperware containers):

Happy Hadley

As a toddler, Hadley is always moving, so it's hard to get a clear picture of her:

The girls and I baked and decorated sugar cookies (Savannah's request). Savannah picked out the blue frosting and sprinkles:

Hadley enjoyed eating a few spoonfuls of frosting:

After eating some frosting, Hadley had blue teeth and a blue tongue:
