Wordless Wednesday {11.7.12}.

We had family photos taken on Sunday!

My fabulous friend Lisa of Lisa Marshall Photography worked her magic with my 3 little monsters once again.  It was such a fun shoot and I cannot wait to see the results!  In the mean time, here are a few teasers...

fun little prop that ended up failing.  miserably.

Twin Weight Tuesday {11.6.12}.

This is going to be short and sweet.

Down another pound.  So that's great.

Ran 9 miles on Saturday.  It was my last long run before my race this Sunday and it felt good.  I feel less nervous about the race than I did, but I'm still hella nervous.

This week is gonna be hard to squeeze runs in with all of my travel, but I think I have it figured out.

While the weight is dripping off a bit slowly, I'm definitely losing inches.  I haven't taken measurements recently, but things are fitting better and I'm branching out with my wardrobe choices .... mama even bought some skinny jeans.  Holy hell.

I know, horizontal stripes are a no-no, but it's so comfy!  

Pinned it, tried it, liked it {Green-ish Smoothies}.

I've had a few questions about how I make my green-ish smoothies for the boys, so I thought I'd do a quick post on it.

My whole family loooooves smoothies.  Well, sometimes Brennan declares them to be "too cold", even though he'll suck down a milkshake faster than I can suck down a Big Gulp of Diet Coke.  That's fast people.

They're also a super easy way to sneak some great nutrient-rich foods into your family's diet ... whether it's the little monsters who will eat anything, the middle sized pizza-chickie-fries addict, or the big giant "I had no idea there were THAT MANY calories in ice cream" man in your life.  Just sayin'.

Brennan - 3 years old!

**I've been working on this post for FOREVER so it's a bit late.  But better late than never, right?  

Then - 10.16.09

My Brennan is 3.  My teeny, tiny little baby has now been outside of my uterus for 3 years.  He’s a walking, talking, snuggly, feisty, wild, adorable ball of dirt and energy.  And I could not be more in love with him if I tried.  And as I write this he is in the backyard with his pants around his ankles making pee squiggles in the wind.  Boys.

Now - 9.30.12

At the pediatrician last week, Brennan weighed 34 pounds (50^th percentile) and was 38.5 inches tall (75^th percentile).  He hasn't been over the 40^th percentile for his weight or under the 90^th percentile for his height since he was born, so it seems like he’s evening out a bit.  While he definitely feels heavier lately, he’s still a tall, skinny kid.  Most 3T pants are too big in the waist, but way too short.  Luckily we live in FL where we don’t have to wear long pants very often.   And thank God for Carter’s brand adjustable waist pants (and the Grammy who buys them for us!).

Pinned it, tried it, liked it {Pumpkin pancakes}.

Two days in a row of actually DOING something instead of just pinning.  Unbelievable.

So if you follow me on Pinterest (imflyingsouth), and you take a peek into my "straight to the hips..." board, you'll discover that I have a teeny tiny obsession with all things pumpkin flavored.  It's a bit out of control.

So when I decided to whip up some pumpkin pancakes, I knew I had probably pinned a recipe or 5.  I picked this one from Annie's Eats, but of course, because I don't follow directions well, I altered it a bit.  A little more brown sugar, whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose, ground flax seed, and extra pumpkin!!

Pinned it, tried it, liked it.

If you're like me (and probably 95% of the population) you could sit on Pinterest for hours on end, collecting all sorts of amazing ideas for my someday wardrobe, someday home, someday ... life.  So much time spent planning for someday.

Well friends, I'm sick of waiting for someday.  Aren't we all?  Ha.

I told myself that I wasn't allowed back onto Pinterest unless I actually TRIED something that I pinned.

So today I decided to try something fall-ish for dessert tomorrow.  When I opened Pinterest, I saw this little lovely staring me in the face.

Favorite Posts Friday {11.2.12}.

Time for a nice quick Fave Posts Friday!  A funny one, a serious one, and one that made me drool.  Happy Friday friends!

Nice Girl Notes - This is how I feel - Part 2 -- I just found this blog today via an Instagram pic posted by Sherry & John of Young House Love.  I read this post (her most recent) and immediately clicked the RSS feed button.  Anytime someone gets me laughing out loud, I'm sold.

Okay, BA! (Formerly Heir to Blair) - Seasons change. -- It's posts like this that make me feel a little less alone some days.  And it was a great reminder to call my therapist cuz it's been way too long since I've paid her a visit.

Young House Love - House Crashing: Classic and Natural with a Twist -- Oh how I wish we lived in the house we own and had the money to redecorate.  I'm itching to transform a space!  And this post got me itching even more.  I love love love love everything about this house.  I want it.

** No one asked me to feature their blog. I'm just passing along my favorites with hopes that you might find something you like too. And if you find a blog you like, I hope that you'll do like I did and follow their blog, whether by RSS, Friend Connect, or email. And do the same for mine if you like!
