My Instagam Life: July

Ugh... I might be quick with my camera phone, but I'm not quick about getting the photos on here... am I?  Oh well, let's just call it a day and sum it up in a month... shall we?

Hold on to your seats ladies and gents, mama's got a lot of ground (er... days) to cover.

Early photoshoot recipe...
She jumps in now.
Lil Sis prefers my hip over the cold water.
Baby Pool
The doc and her assistant.
I've been wondering all morning why Lucy's skirt was hanging so low around her waist.  Then I changed her diaper and realized she's wearing Molly's size 5!  Funny thing is, it fits!
Yet another reminder she's five... annual checkup.  Makes this sentimental mama super sad. :(
Paint that pot sista.
Annual Flowerpot Painting...
In training...
Parade
We used to call it "pre-partying".  Now we call it "going into survival tactic mode"... Cheers to 105 degrees, 15 screaming kids and daddy's playing with fireworks.
Potluck dinners got a whole lot fancier since Pinterest came to town...
She insists on a ham sandwich, but won't eat a lick of the bread.
"Don't worry mom, I got my spoon out of the 'fent' all by myself."
Riding to the park in style...
This stuff is going to be the death of me.
Taking the kiddos prop shopping... hope I don't regret this. :)
I {heart} baby jellies.
It's official... she's a shoe thief.
Cupcakes on the plaza... this is my kind of Thursday.
Retail Therapy
Barnes & Noble
Best party favor... ever.
Oh Nelly, you start a morning right.
Getting made over by Aunt Susie at Sephora.
These heels are made for walking...
I bet happy people live here.
First day of theater camp...
Theater Camp... Day Two.
First piano lesson today... we might just have another musician in the house.
Go speed racer...
Theater Camp... Day Three.
Lil Sis wanted to dress up too today...
Goose would read this book 100 times a day... maybe that's why she's not even two and already knows her ABCs??  What a smartie I've got!!
 It's 103 outside and I want to kiss the person who invented air-conditioned seats...
 Star of the show!!
 After standing in line for almost an hour at Lego Land... this smart little guy chose to not wait another hour to go in.  Thankfully, Dinoland was across the street, air-conditioned, and free.  Genius.
 Dinoland.
 Lite Brite
 "Mommy!  Why did you eat all the donuts!!!???"
 Watch out world... she's armed and dangerous.
 Muskateers
 Hand-me-down
 Chores...
 These two earned a trip for ice-cream after assisting me at today's super HOT photoshoot!
 Tonight at dinner, I used the famous "you need to eat all your dinner because somewhere there are kids with no families and no food" line... An hour later she brought me this big bag of hairbows and said "those hungry kids really need my bows too".  A bit misguided, yet oh so sweet.
 Emily's Birthday Night Out
 Mama's exercise...
 Love my little artist...
 Long lost friend!!
 Scouting out a new photo location with mommy...
 Picnic in an apple orchard... yes please!!
 I'll be channeling my inner-Britney come Halloween...


Whew... that felt good.  Now I have plenty of room back on my phone to fill 'er up with more Instagram.  Stay tuned...
