Real Life

I feel like so often my pictures are edited, cropped, and touched up before they ever make it on the blog. In the same breath I also feel like I am really good at documenting fun things we do, or special occasions, but I really want to be better about documenting what is REAL. What really happened during our day, how my house really looked, and what Emma Claire really acted like. SO here's our day how it really happened 

Funny story. I was making soup in the kitchen and Emma Claire was playing in a cabinet that holds Tupperware and bowls. I turned around and saw her carrying a big bowl into the living room. I was wondering what she would do with it. Turns out she had big plans. She flipped the bowl over in front of the loveseat and climbed on top. Then she grabbed my phone that she couldn't reach before she has gotten a little "lift"! Such a smart girl!

"What mom...I'm not doing anything wrong. Promise"

Then she decided to play with more bowls. Whatever works, right? 

Most of her teeth that have been working their way through the gums are almost through so she has been MUCH happier lately! You can see almost all of her eye teeth are in as well as her big ol' MOLAR that has been causing us all sorts of problems!

I made homemade soup so my kitchen looked like this pretty much all day.

....and I told you she's teething. 

SHE ACTUALLY ATE DINNER TONIGHT. Miss priss eats like a bird. It's usually a battle to get her to take two bites of dinner. Tonight she ate almost an entire hot dog {all natural, organic, and preservative free for those hot dog haters out there}, three strawberries, several bites of banana, and half a container of yogurt. SCORE!

And the entertainment of the evening...Gracie was trying to get the last cheddar bunny out of the box and GOT HER HEAD STUCK INSIDE. I just about fell out of my chair laughing. she ran around the room in circles trying to get it off. I helped her...after snapping a few pictures, of course! ha!

And here we are at the end of the day together. Not my favorite picture of me but she looks darling and this blog is for preserving memories. In ten years I probably won't care about how I looked in this one picture.

I only semi got ready today. I didn't do my hair, put on only a bit of makeup, and wore leggings and a t-shirt. Emma Claire stayed in jammies all day. We lounged around, we played, we read, we had fun, we listened to Christmas music almost all day, and the TV was turned off. With the cold weather it was just the day we needed. I love days like this.

There you have it. No fancy clothes, no bows, no photo editing/staging/photoshop magic, just us. Lounging around our house in comfy clothes.
