30/365 Jealousy, Attitude, & Yet, Still Wonderful

This little boy here can make a person want to rip their hair out, 

yet also can make ones heart fill with love.

My 5 year old has explained I "never take pictures" of him anymore. 

So I set aside some time for just him today.

Would you believe, for the first 20 minutes he just whined and made grumpy faces at me?

I did get some really good smiling, laughing photographs, 

but this one just screamed "attitude" and his unwillingness to work with me. 

My typical boy. 

25/365 Arts & Crafts, & Sibling Fun

Thomas stayed home today.

I braced myself for a day of fighting over toys, 

and extreme noise.

Instead of it starting right away, I found this.

Thomas had asked for the box of arts & crafts,

and since I can (mostly) trust the boys, 

I let them have it. 

I did not expect to find all three of them coloring so peacefully.

21/365 Young, Hardworking, & The Perfect Future Husband

My 5 year old has a new obsession with vacuuming.

Every morning he asks if he can.

Only thing we need to work on now,

is getting him to pick things up before starting.

Which is the main reason he only likes to vacuum the living room.

Thomas here works hard at everything he does,

and he plans on being a "great husband and daddy" some day.

Apparently he wants to get married when he is "25."

He wants to "always make his wife happy."

And he wants to have "100 kids."

Isn't he the sweetest?

11/365 Laundry, Laundry, & More Laundry

Laundry is never ending in a house of 5. 

Especially after a weekend of vomit.

This is just a small portion of Mt. Laundry.

And another reason I need a wider lens. 

28 mm is just not wide enough in this small of an apartment.
