Favorite Photo Friday - IG Style

Well, this is starting to become routine and it is mostly because I have had very little time to pick up the big camera during the work week. So once again, my favorite moments were captured by my Iphone and not my dslr.

The girls have been into dress up a lot these days and the other morning Reagan decided she wanted to wear her Halloween Costume from last year. She ended up having a "Minnie Meltdown" when she realized the fancy light up shoes that went with the costume no longer fit her feet. Can you say Spicy? This girl is as sweet as sugar, but that sugar can turn to spice in a matter of seconds. She can be very strong-willed at times and this morning was one of them....... There was no reasoning with her.


After my outing with Nick on Sunday, I came home to find the girls playing on the deck. Pat cleaned out their pool and filled it up with cold fresh water. He had just given them the green light to go in and they were "testing the water". I thought it was such a cute moment.
A meeting of the minds before they decided to take the plunge!


This week I logged some major miles behind the wheel. I spent all day Tuesday in NYC with my boss visiting a very large potential client. Unfortunately, I did not have time to do much exploring, but I took a few shots at stoplights through my windshield. The one on the left was taken on Park Avenue and the one on the right was taken on Fifth Avenue. There was a time in my life I would have never driven myself into the city. I usually took the bus each time I went in, but with my GPS telling me where to go, I now feel confident and secure. The masses of people that just dart across the street in front of your car still make me nervous at times, but I am beginning to get used to it.


After returning home very late on Tuesday night, I had to wake up and get myself out the door by 6am the next morning. My destination was Philly this time. I was tired and knew I was in for a LONG day. As I traveled up the road behind our house, I noticed the sun rising above the cornfields and there was fog everywhere. I stopped the car and jumped out to get this shot and it might be my absolute fav of the week.


Yesterday was "Hat Day" for the girls. When they woke up and got dressed, they each picked out a hat to wear to school. Pat usually drops them off and while he was getting ready to head out, they sat quietly in our bedroom reading at the foot of the chaise lounge. Notice in the upper righthand corner, Reagan is holding her Barbie Cellphone while she is "reading". That phone goes everywhere with her.... she has even slept with it a few nights. You would think the thing really works:)


I bopped out of work just a little early yesterday so I could pick up the girls and go meet some very special friends for a play date. The weather did not exactly cooperate, so we had to move to the nearest indoor play center.
The girls had a blast and it was definitely the highlight of our week!

It has been a long work week for me and I am happy it is quickly coming to an end.
I am looking forward to a little R and R this weekend and a trip to the new boutique.
I need to do an update soon..... things are REALLY coming along!

~Happy Friday Everyone~

Since I had my blog freshened up, I thought that maybe it was time for a new button. I decided to design a bookmark for Favorite Photo Friday instead. I think it turned out kind of cute and matches the new look. Feel free to grab it for your posts.
