Quirky Cutes: Procrastination Edition

I am in a bit of a frenzy trying to get out of town for a little getaway this week (NOT THAILAND) (SAD FACE) (It's Chicago and actually that deserves a big ol' happy face because I have cried enough Thailand tears and now I am ready to snuggle into a fancy hotel bed with Mark and sleep for hours and hours and then wake up and eat fancy food. So. BIG OL' HAPPY FACE) which means that I have a million lists to make and things to pack and rooms to clean and laundry to sort.

So naturally, I am blogging. Hi.

I don't even have anything legit to blog about, but.... here are some cute fun things, I guess? That are more interesting than laundry and packing?

Anneliese got a new swimsuit. I have no idea where she learned this pose.

Charlotte's obsession with shoes (OMGeeee all day every day with the syooo? syooo? I hear it in my sleep, I really do) is not limited to just her own. Nathan's new boat shoes (which he adores; he is also not one who lacks for Shoe Feelings) are fair game too.

 Her summer wardrobe also still includes this winter hat in the blazing heat, in case you were curious.

Fashion over comfort, yo.

Oh and speaking of fashion, I think Anneliese gets the award for most awkward outfit at the library. Normally I don't let her wear dress-up clothes out of the house but I was distracted that day. I honestly didn't see what she looked like til she got out of the van. (Attentive-Mom Alert!) Between that the sunglasses headband and the wet pool hair, she looked a hot mess. I mean, adorable. My kid is adorable.

Unrelated: Nathan has a new method he would like to share for getting rid of brain freeze when you're eating ice cream. Just put a napkin on your forehead! This brilliance is about to go viral on Pinterest, so be ready.

Random cuteness: where's Charlotte? Peekaboo! There she is! *giggle giggle giggle*

More random cuteness: Anneliese is a baby-wearing baby! (That is not post-pool hair. I have no explanation here.)

Even more random cuteness, with a side of Nathan photobomb that had me laughing (and cringing) all day.

Oh and speaking of photobombs, here is a Thing I like do when I'm bored: creep up behind Mark and insert my cheesing mug into his nap for a selfie photo op. Don't you wish you could be married to me too??!

(Someday, if y'all are nice, I'll do a whole post of nothing but these nap creeper pics. There are, um... several more.)

Okay I think this concludes today's portion of leaving-town-tasks procrastination. Back to the frenzy of lists.

(No wait! Here is something else! This is the first blog post I have fully written on my chromebook including cropping and uploading pics and everything! I wanted to try and see how non-clunky it is. And... non-clunky indeed.)
