Well, first off — last weekend we had some serious date night. Conner, I and Paige were relegated to the home spot where we made muddy buddy chex mix and crepes. It was a lot of fun, fatty fun. We also played some wii and laughed ourselves silly at some old Wipeouts we had taped. Conner did a good job at helping with the crepes, and we know that’s no easy task! We even got some pointers from our friends on You Tube before trying it out — I think it may have actually helped. 🙂
And this little one looked SO darn cute on Sunday I couldn’t help but photograph. I loved this one in black and white… she looks so old fashioned and grown -up — and that’s rare since she’s still my baby and loves her technology. 🙂
And not to be undone by their little sister, the brothers needed to get in on the act. This fine fellow had a great parent teacher conference this week. I was so proud of him after it. I hate to let my kids know that they’re TOO amazing, but this one sure is. Even after starring in the school play he still got amazing test results, is being a bit less fidgety at school and {gasp} hasn’t lost a single jacket…. In this nice warm weather we’re having. 🙂 I love how he still looks a little goofy and little in this shot. I’m pretty sure I made a fart sound before I took it. Got him a new blazer at kid to kid. I think he looks pretty darn smart.
And, because no documentation of this week in our life would be perfect without a few of my fine finger, I give you a pictorial to advance kitchen safety….

You are so entertaining!
I, too, sliced my finger but the nail stopped the knife and after I finally got the bleeding to stop just applied a tourniquet bandaid. I guess my knives are not as sharp as yours. That’s my kitchen safety PSA.
And your photos, children and stories are awesome.

Often times when I am using my knifes I think about the sharpening tool you feature in your favorites once. I still need to get one, but maybe it’s a good think my knives aren’t that sharp. Truly looks painful. I hope all heals well and I must agree P is adorable in that dress.

LOVE the pics and your Friday posts. 🙂 I can hold your good hand when they take out the stitches . . . sorry for bringing that up last night. Eep.

Beautiful pics of your family Hil! And the one of your finger makes me go weak in the knees…

OH MY GOSH! OUCH, Hilary!! Your finger looks so painfully painful:(
I hope it heals quickly. I don’t ever want to see that picture again. Your kiddos are so stinkin’ cute. Those are some seriously adorable photos, I just had to comment. I’ve been stalking your blog for a while now and feel it is time to reveal myself 🙂 Love it by-the-way!

Ok, ouch on the finger. Still feeling bad for you. But oh, how cute are your kids. Your little Diva in her hat…I tell you our girls would be kindred spirits, of course when they get old enough not to take each others hats!!
BTW..I really like your pic as well.
Reynolds Family says
