10 on 10 (i did it!)

oh yah.
yes i did.
so. i was determined to do 10 on 10 today.
i have never made it past 3 or 4.
i get distracted and i forget.
so today i brought my real camera in the car and set my iPhone to alarm ever hour on the hour as a reminder!
got out that cannon at 9 am and.....guess what. no SD card.
this is ella and i feeling sad about it....

then i quickly got over it and decided to iPhone it!
the photos aren't all that interesting, but i love that for once there is one an hour.
not just 10 in a day since i'm sure i do much more than ten lots of days.
but the good and boring moments too.
i think it's good for me.
and if i'm being honest this was not the best "fanciest" day to document.
i hurt my back so i was sitting on the couch more than i'd like to portray...
and i took ella to burger king...classy.
but its good to not be too put together right?
this is my day.
today.
honestly.

9am
ballet stretches
 10am
tappin' like shirley
 11am
this is when i knew my back needed rest, so i decided to make it into a party. just me and ella. the sound of music. popcorn with m&ms and ice water in mommy cups.
and oh my gosh i seriously love this movie.
i cried three times.
 noon
poor mommy
 1pm
he's home!
 2pm
LEGO mania
 3pm
karate trek
 4pm
ella was the queen of saying "yes mom" today.
so i told her i loved having a daughter who has a respectful voice for me and that it made me want to do something nice and special for her.  i asked her what she'd like to do while the boys were at karate for an hour. she said, "how bout go to burger king for some french fries and a sprite?" and i obviously said, "yes ella!"
(although i did get her to change her order to OJ...lets not get crazy here)

daddy's home!

dinner: rainy day soup
(thanks for the recipe, momma)

  10. i love the normal, everyday documenting. it's good to see that there are other mamas out there doing the same things. just living life and loving the ones God has given you.

    blessings today Shauna!
