I am comfortable BEHIND the camera but not in front of it.? Therefore, I have pathetically few pictures of me and my children and NO family pictures since Tori has been born.? Shame on me huh?? I need to get our match letter written asap and it requires at least a few shots of mom and dad so I asked my sweet friend Erin to shoot a few for me in her backyard (www.ErinMcFarlandPhotography.com).?? As you can see, Tori was the wildcard – as usual.? I have no idea what that last picture was all about but it made me laugh (and glad to see she harasses Erin as well ;).?? Since there is RARELY a photo of me on this site, I thought I’d share.? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

And THANK YOU Erin for doing this for me!<\/p>\n

******<\/p>\n

Tori:? Mommy I can’t really find my panties.<\/p>\n

Me:? Put a pullup on.<\/p>\n

Tori:? Okay.? That’s fine.<\/p>\n

Ha!? That was her end goal all along.<\/p>\n

*******<\/p>\n

Tori:? Mommy can I have a mint?<\/p>\n

Me:? Someone ate all of them yesterday and based on your icky diaper last night I am going to guess you.? Do you have anything to say about that?<\/p>\n

Tori:? Um………………………………………………………….no.<\/p>\n

********<\/p>\n

Tori:? Mommy can you change me?<\/p>\n

Me:? Can you ask Daddy?<\/p>\n

Tori:? No his hands are dirty.<\/p>\n

(A minute later on tv there was a commercial where the actress says “Don’t change me”)<\/p>\n

Tori:? “DON’T CHANGE ME?””!!!!!?? I don’t like her!<\/p>\n

********<\/p>\n

While watching Life as We Know It yesterday, I was snuggled up to my honey on our couch.? Tori was laying on her tummy watching tv across our laps.? Her face was near our knees and her feet were stuck in our face.? Apparently, we both picked up on her obvious cue and we each had one of her feet and were softly tickling (just like she likes it).? When I realized that little Queen Bee had both of us right where she wanted us without us even realizing our joint servitude, I had to giggle at the irony.? Unlike the movie, Jim and I DO know how to co-parent.? At one point I asked Tori which of us was doing the better job on the tickling and she said “Your all good<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

Domestic policy today – foreign ambassador tomorrow.? She’ll be great.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
