Daily Diary – September 10 2011

Last night we all seemed to have trouble sleeping. Maybe it was the walk late night or maybe not. Either way, Jake didn’t fall asleep for a long time, so when he was still sleeping and it was time for David’s swim class, I took him and tried to snap some photos, too. It’s hard to get good photos there and I’ll admit I didn’t try too hard.

then we came home, rested for a bit, did some art, etc, and it was time to take David to his birthday party. When we got home, we finally got to take the family photos. My boys were awesome.

David wanted Daddy to sit on him.

Both of the kids were in an off mood. Maybe cause it was a different time of day. Either way, this was the only good shot I got.

then David started making faces.

and Nathaniel started his meltdown.

making his body all rigid.

and whining.

we tried to make him laugh but it didn’t work. And david had lost total interest by now.

so we did the only thing we could.

yey for tickle time!

Now they are both down and I am exhausted. I had a shoot scheduled for tomorrow but it’s off and I am grateful. I need a whole day of nothing to do.

Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that today went more smoothly than I’d hoped.
2. I am grateful that we have fresh fruit in the fridge again.
3. I am grateful that I have no scheduled obligations for tomorrow.

Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that I watched daddy play mega zombies. * {his pick for the journal}
2. I am grateful that i went to a birthday party.
3. I am grateful that I played wii.
