We had a relatively uneventful Mother's Day this year. The entire family is now on a clean eating adventure, so there was no pancake breakfast to wake me up. My gift from John and the girls this year won't come until next week when I go shopping for a new swimsuit and clothes for the beach (side note: when did swimsuits get so expensive?). It was pretty much just another day of mommyhood. Winsley decided to wake up and stay up at 6 am + Ellington decided milk was not acceptable for breakfast and had the opportunity to spend a good chunk of time in timeout for throwing her milk across the room. Yep - Just another normal day of mommyhood. And I wouldn't have it any other way! Cheesy, but true. :)
Last week, we snuck in a little Mother's Day photoshoot. Ellington is a bit persnickety these days when it comes to letting me take her picture. You have to snap a photo real quick like the paparazzi before she decides that she is having a bad hair day and no longer wants to be photographed. I give props to all of the children's photographers out there - it's hard to catch two little ones smiling (with their eyes open) at the same time. Here are two outtakes from the photoshoot (below).
I love love love Winsley's smile in this one and the fact that Ellington is giving her a big kiss.
This one is just silly - the perfect word to describe my little girls on most days.
But, seriously, how do photographers do it?!

I love the look on Winsley's face when E is kissing her. Sweet moments of motherhood! "The days are long, but the years are short"....glad you are enjoying cherishing this precious time. LYMI
ReplyDelete:) That one is one of my favorites! I just wish they would both stay still long enough for me to capture both of them smiling in the same photo
DeleteI love that first picture! She looks so happy.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hear you on the thrown milk. Most days I am wiping up food on the wall across from his seat at the table and I always marvel and just how long his range can be.
Raising a toddler is messy business!
