Ten on Ten

My friend Kathy posted this idea she found and I LOVED it!  So today, I carried my camera around, and realized how much I've missed it!  The idea is to take and post ten pictures that narrate your day on the tenth of each month.

Today was an unusually busy day for me, so while sorting through the 63 pictures I took (yes, sixty-three!) it was hard to pick out just ten.

Oh, and before you think I had THAT exciting of a day, some of those 63 were ten or so of the same shot... I'm reallllly out of practice!

But, here you go.  Enjoy. :)  I had a TON OF FUN doing it! :)


I've had a sick, non-sleeping infant for 4 or 5 days now (I've lost count).  After maybe a total hour of sleep last night, this was definitely the first thing to start my day.  And yes, I had a few extra cups...


Between two kids with double ear infections, and a severely injured dog, this was step two of my morning...  The only thing missing was the Tylenol bottle that I had just emptied and threw away. :P


This is not to show off our ornament.  This is to show it's currently the only thing on the tree.  Seriously.  We had our tree up, then a friend called and asked to trade, so yesterday I took it down and swapped with her.  I gave away a tiny 3 1/2 ft tree, and received a 7 ft monster that took up 1/4 of our living room.  It was BEAUTIFUL, but just not doable.  So today, for the third time, I took the tree apart and more or less cut it in half.  After that, decorating it was not a desire I had.


Lunch.  My kids {and hubby} could live on this.  Good thing it's cheap.  


Between these two pictures I had a PTO meeting at Noah's school.  However, I didn't think standing outside a school taking pictures was the smartest thing to do.  Didn't want to come across as ... creepy...


SO, after the PTO meeting, I went to renew my license.  This is all you need to see of it.  Trust me.  But someone tell me, why in the world are they pink now??


This evening I kept a friend's kids... 3 wonderful, helpful, fun OLDER kids that are a blessing to watch!



Guests = Take out pizza.  Thank you Little Caesar's!  And FYI, I wanted a pic of the pizza with just one piece missing, but by the time I got to pick up the camera, one entire pizza was gone, and two slices from the second!  5 hungry kids and a hungry hubby tear through it pretty quickly! 



For something fun, I decided we could make cut out cookies and decorate them.  Because of my super busy day (and lack of baking skills), I just grabbed a tube of sugar cookies instead of making homemade.  BAD idea.  The cut outs swelled and melted together and made pans of one giant cookies.  So I quickly cut a few shapes out of the HOT cookie.  It worked. :)


They depleted FOUR batches of icing. :)  Love it.



And I had to go back and edit this and change my last photo.  This is my youngest, sleeping soundly at midnight.  The past 4 midnights he's been awake and screaming (until 4 or so in the morning).  So I HAD to add this sweet ending to my day.  Now off to bed and hoping he and I both get sleep tonight!



Join the fun next month!!!
