Picture This…

Last week I posted about the woes of potty training babygirl in the spirit of all things potty, imagine if you will my excitement (complete and utter sarcasm here) when I walked in baby girl’s room to find that she had pottied in her “big girl panties” while surrounded by her toys and I was left with the task of sanitizing each. and. every. one.  However, something amazing did come of it, the vibrant colors of all the toys struck me as a totally photo worthy moment.

But First Let Me Take a #Selfie

My mom and I bought my granny an iPhone a couple years back for photo, video and FaceTime purposes when she cares for Babygirl. She keeps accusing us of giving her the phone and saying here figure out how it works, I can’t agree with that. Anywho, she’s done a great job of becoming textually active and mastering taking the cutest action pics and videos of Babygirl. As far as I thought I knew, all questions had been answered regarding the functionality of her iPhone until last night.

As I’m standing at the sink washing dishes the convo went a little something like this…

Granny: Hey Mo

Me: Yes granny

Granny: Did you get the pics I sent you today?

Me: Yep, thank you. Oh, I have to change the filter on your camera.

Granny: Ok, while you’re at it you might as well show me where the selfie button is.

Me: *blank stare*

Nothing in my being is prepared to ever in life hear her say, sure I’ll send you a pic of Babygirl but first, let me take this selfie. Nope not ready! The curse and blessing of having a hipster grandparent who isn’t afraid of a little technology.

Picture This (Snow Day)

Today we had what feels like the 1000th snowstorm of 2014.  I decided to venture out just a tad and take photos of my backyard since the snow was so fresh and picturesque.

Picture This…date night

Knicks game for date night like a true New Yorker!

Yesterday my family got together for “family day” at Rockland Lake State Park.
It was a beautiful day, not too hot, sunny clear blue skies, plenty of food, laughs and love. As I sat basking in the glow of the gorgeousness of the day I took this picture that summed it all up.

Picture This (April Photo Challenge)

For the month of April my weekly Picture This posts will be replaced with a week’s worth of pictures taken for the April Photo Challenge. I always try to do the challenges but I never follow through plus I told Lou at http://www.louslabyrinth.wordpress.com that I would give it a try. While finding a photo challenge for April my sissy Tammi and I found 2 pretty cool ones, because I’m uncertain that I can complete 1 nevertheless 2 Tammi is going to tackle one of the 2 that we found. She takes pretty awesome pictures so this should be cool.

Here are the two photo challenges that we’ve found for April

Tammi’s working on the left, I will be working on the right.

So here goes week 1 of the photo challenge:

Day 1: Selfie / Play

Day 2: Something Pink / Blue

Day 3: Handwriting / Something that Starts with A

Day 4: Black & White / This Happened Today

Day 5: Weather / Something Good

Day 6: Handwriting / Air

Day 7: Spring / Dreamy

So week one is done!! I think we did a pretty good job. Looking forward to week 2. How did we do?

Picture This (Butterflies)

This past weekend babygirl, my sissy Tammi, my mom and I went to see the Butterfly Conservatory at the Museum of Natural History. I’ll admit that I was probably more psyched than everyone all put together. In addition to displays of some of the most beautiful butterflies I’ve ever seen, we actually got to be in a room with live ones flying all over the place. Two even landed in babygirl’s hair, that was a special moment for me even though she was wondering what the hell was going on and why everyone was looking at her and taking pictures lol. The conservatory was everything I hoped to see and more. And by more I mean the room was about 200 degrees, I felt like I popped a couple mollys. I was sweating Whew! If hell is that hot I need to start living right IMMEDIATELY…I digress, the trip was so much fun. Next visit will be to see the frogs. I’m also psyched about that. Here are a couple pictures from our trip!

Picture This (Dawn)

I woke up at about 6am Monday morning and was stunned by what I saw out my window. Because so far I’ve been blessed to have a baby that sleeps like I do I am usually not up at that time. I sure am glad I woke up and I witnessed this.
