The Month by iPhone :: April 2015

Life seems to go by so fast! It's crazy how fast each week and month seem to fly by, and yet some days (like Friday) just drag on forever.

Here's a look into what happened in my month, complete with clouds, Luna, cookies, and cats.

it had been too long since I last took a picture of Luna.

{from Marcel the Shell: the Most Surprised I've Ever Been} I love Marcel the Shell (from the YouTube videos here), but I remembered that the last time I read a Marcel the Shell with Shoes On book {Marcel the Shell with Shoes On: Things About Me}, my preschoolers didn't find it that funny, so I just read this one myself. (:

this guy.

Easter view.

I was working on some accounting at work, and I really wanted to take a picture of the stapler, so I threw some file folders in to make it a little more normal.

it annoys me that everyone thinks that my shoes are green. here is proof that they are blue!

the morning of their First Eucharist retreat, the second graders share loaves of bread with members of the congregation. one of my favorite little ladies gave me this one!

if lanterns count as lamps, I know own a lamp because my wonderful manager found it at Target and said that it was my color. it fits so perfectly on my dresser. {it's from Target}

finally feeling like spring in Door County!

we have two sets of magnetic poetry on the fridge at work, and I love making sure that gold is next to star. (:

I really dislike receiving cut flowers because they're just going to die anyway, but this rose is so beautiful.

my new friends Crankshaft and the Gear Grinders at Benny D'z.

time for my second Stitch Fix!

rule of thirds.

big dirty things.

new Converse! (:

how many pictures of your car is too many? and how many pictures of the same building?

what a funny vase.

this is my favorite Christmas present.

baking fun.

I love the redesigned Door County Living!

house envy at my aunt and uncle's house.

another picture from their house. all I had to do for this one was try to get Sherman to look at me.

I nearly forgot to replace the filler text up here this week!

This week was Easter, and I baked some chocolate chip cookies to take to the family gathering at my grandparents' house. I might have to post the recipe on here because they were adorable.

I started watching SNL a few weeks ago, starting with the 2004-2005 season. I've now made it into fall 2008, and Seth Meyers is so adorable! I would love to meet him and Amy Poehler (the cutest pregnant lady ever). Actually, no, I would love to meet the cast for like all of the seasons that I've been watching because they are incredible.

aaaaand no transition into the pictures...

Thursday 2 April // day ninety-two :: April showers hopefully bring May flowers.

Friday 3 April // day ninety-three :: making cookie dough to bake cookies the next day!

Saturday 4 April // day ninety-four :: too cool for a photograph.

Sunday 5 April // day ninety-five :: Easter on the bay.

Monday 6 April // day ninety-six :: preschool books for this week {Marcel the Shell: the Most Surprised I've Ever Been // Where's Walrus? // Little Owl's Night // Up, Tall and High! // Little Owl Lost}

Tuesday 7 April // day ninety-seven :: I'm up in the sky, I should consider myself blessed. {Just a Star by pat mAcdonald}

Wednesday 8 April // day ninety-eight :: I just really like fun socks.

The Month by iPhone :: October 2014

Please be prepared for a lot of pictures (:

I went and took some pictures outside of an abandoned house! {more pictures here}

I read Liane Moriarty's Big Little Lies

my manager accommodated this special request for some daughters wanting to help their parents celebrate their anniversary. so sweet!

visiting Max.

I still want one of these desks.

the unicorn said so.

I just love these bright colors!

I just really love French bulldogs and Boston terriers and any little dog with a wrinkly nose! (:

I used to bike over the bridge to go to my aunt's house when I was younger, and I don't remember the sidewalk being this wide. it seemed so narrow at the time. on this day, I walked nearly six miles because I didn't feel like driving over there when I had a lot of time to do whatever.

I got back in the pool for the first time in over five years! I don't remember swimming being so difficult, but I guess I was just used to it at the time. I still ended up swimming a mile.

books for my class (: all four are by Hervé Tullet: Help! We Need a Title, Press Here, Mix It Up!, Blue & Square

is it Halloween yet?

 I participated in Fat Mum Slim's photo a day, so this was "j is for" journal!

...and "k is for" a Kerr Mason jar full of Chimes ginger chews! (:

Luna Lovebug

adventure awaits.

Lake Michigan

moonroof view.

I think I'm going to add a little color to this print before I hang it. I still don't know where to put it though! {print from here}

Portage Park in autumn

pretty roses.

new favorite shirt, if only it wasn't too big.

bring your sculls to work day (;

twinning.

loving Charles' mug.

a little reading before work. {Women in Clothes}
