Lauren :: Not So Average Mama

Wordless Wednesday

Posted on March 7, 2012 by Brandy | 2 Comments

We had some beautiful weather here lately. Not too hot, not too cold. Just perfect! Now the rain is coming and there are talks of flooding. We live at the lake so this can be a concern. Here are some photos from the other day that we took on our walk at the lake.

Lauren loves American Heritage Girls. She can not wait til it’s time to go. These photos were taken when it was almost dark outside, but I still love them.

I decided that this year I would participate in Annie Manning’s Let’s Do 52! She has themes set for each week of the year and I like the challenge that it creates for me. This week the choice was Sharing or Natural. I chose sharing. It’s not to late to join up! You can do this theme until Saturday and…

The girls had a great time meeting up with their best friend Katie for some Frozen Yogurt! They love getting to add all the toppings they want at these places! I think we need to have these dates monthly!

There is so much going on as we get ready for Christmas! I’m sure you all have been busy too! We had rain for days and that kept us on lock down in the house. Cabin fever set in and we all went crazy. Look at Emma, she’s looking a bit rabid… We survived though. Another thing that has happened…

I have been working even harder than usual lately. Busy busy! The girls surprised me with a tea party to have some down time and just hang out! I needed it! My girls are great! We had tea and clementine oranges! I hope you take a break from the busyness of the holidays!

Can We Play in the Sprinkler?

Posted on December 17, 2011 by Brandy | 3 Comments

Seriously, that is what the girls asked me today when we were outside playing. ”Mom, can we please play in the sprinkler?” Just look at these faces! Lauren says PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSE!!!!! Then she tries to plead her case on why they should be able to play in the sprinkler…The kid was totally trying to con me… Then Emma gave me the…

Someone Lost a Tooth!

This was the tooth that just kept hangin’ on! It was literally swinging by a thread for the last week. Tonight though it finally came free! This is the second tooth she has lost. That other top front tooth is super loose and should be breaking free soon as well. Lauren is going to get a little bit richer tonight!

Pierced, Properly!

Posted on December 9, 2011 by Brandy | 6 Comments

Lauren has been discussing getting her ears pierced over the last two months. I wanted her to be sure. I wanted her to be prepared. I don’t allow the girls to get pierced with piercing guns. We have it done professionally with piercing needles that are hollow with a laser cut edge. These actually cut the flesh away for the hole. They do not…

How was your Halloween? Are you children in sugar coma’s yet? Have your husbands ransacked the candy bags? My kids keep tricking me. They know I am easily distracted. When I am concentrating on something they ask me if they can have “…just one more piece?” I unknowingly say “yea, sure“. Totally taking advantage of their sick mama! Seriously though, they haven’t…

They are sisters, they are best friends! They get a long so well and I hope they stay this close! They do bicker at each other once in awhile, which is to be expected, but they LOVE to be together! Makes my life a whole lot easier that’s for sure! This is from the same day that we went to…

It had been a long time since Jenny and I just got to go out with our cameras and wander (drive and walk) aimlessly looking for those special places that called us to photograph them. This time we took Lauren and Emma along with us. Morgan and Hanna were too busy being “teenagers” to be bothered to come along. So…
