Momof2peas's Blog

So as most of you know who either know us or grace my blog with your readership you know the battle of hair began with the oldest Pea.  Well the littlest Pea  is always trying to keep up with her sister and that includes her  tremulous locks!  And so begins the never ending battle of hair…..again. 

We never had to worry about Py’s hair at this age because believe it or not her hair was straight! It didn’t really curl until she was three.  Phoebe’s hair is half curly half knots!  Now she loves it when her Aunt Dawn or her sitters brush her hair she even asked then too!   BUT She seriously can’t stand Mommy or Daddy trying to brush it out and she will run and hide in her castle to get away…..

That stinker she even tries to go incognito but we still try to get those knots out!

When we eat any meal Daddy can usually get a head band in because if he doesn’t it’s hair soup, spaghetti or hair pizza none of which is appetizing at all because she will freak out and scream hair if she sees it.

Every once in a while if I sneak up from behind……I may get a tiny pony tail to keep the hair out of her little eyes.   So she can see!

But I guess just like her sister when all else fails even in the dead of summer WEAR A HAT~!   

This weeks challenge for IHeartFaces.com is photojournalism….their defenition for this challenge is “Using an image (or images) to tell a story”. 

I chose one image to tell this story:  

The story of the elusive red-haired  MeerPYsle, as sly as the weasel, feisty as the Meerkat with the ting of a fiery temper like that of  the mink.   Little if anything can get this beautiful creature to come out of her hole but we were lucky enough to catch that moment.  A moment like none other, do you see the curly red mane? the blue eyes? the fashion forward shades…wait what?  since when does the MeerPy wear sunglasses?  Oh yes paparazzi must be prepared for the flash bulbs of all those on the hunt for the perfect picture of the perfect creature with the perfect curls.  How did we manage to get this rare shot?  Well we can’t give away our secrets but we will give you one hint…Beiber.

We are very happy to share this rare find with all of you and would suggest that you check out all the other stories at IHeartFaces.com!

This weeks challenge was Beach Fun! 

I alwas go back to 2005 when I see any beach theme not only is that the last time we were there but it was Py’s first time at the ocean.    I took lots of pictures, the only thing was she actually hated the water when she felt it, fell in the sand and freaked out then wanted nothing to do with outside the house the family and we had rented.  So I look at these shots and laugh it was Py’s only 2 minutes at the beach that she had fun!

Don’t forget to check out all the other awesome shots over at IHeartFaces.com !!!

I will be getting my garden blog up soon. I have to go through the best pics and I will be including an interview with the oldest pea about what she loved most about our garden.

My favorite catagory !

I love this shot because we have unwittingly trained Professor Puffington to look at our garden every morning.  Pyper and I are trying the vegetable garden again this year and every morning we wake up and run to the window!  We see it growing more nad more each day and just pray for vegetable to show up!  Well it wasn’t long before we had Phoebe and Puff running with us.  Only some mornings Puff would beat us to the back window and get tangled in the blinds so we had to leave the middle blind up.  Soon we were meeting Puff at the window every day!

I took Pictures of Py for her 5th birthday to make posters to hang all over, today a year later they are still everywhere! I have one in my office, one in her playroom and one on her bedroom door.  Even gave some away to friends who hung them up! To see last years party look closer at my blog and see my rockstar birthday party post.  It’s my most viewed to date!   She had so much fun playing the rockstar for our “photoshoot”.

For those of you that may follow my blog you know that we lost our Gram on Mother’s Day, she meant the world to me.  I have really had a hard time trying to find some kind of normalcy and do the things I did before that day.  I haven’t entered the iHeartFaces contest in a while and thought baby steps this will be easy; the theme was yellow.   I remembered this picture and while I looked for it I found the sweetest pictures of Gram and the oldest pea it made me so happy that she was able to enjoy my children even if only for a short time so I think I will blog about that later……NOW this picture.

Py was two and a half years old and it was her first trip to the Columbus Zoo, she loved the monkeys we saw on the way in and the house of birds.  But her favorite thing there wasn’t an animal at all!  The Zoo has a playground and boy was it tough to get her away from there.  Here she was running up and down the tubes and just giggled the whole time.

Last week the oldest pea had her biannual dentist appointment and came home with a balloon.  With no cavities and a great report to celebrate she gave her balloon to Phoebe and was so happy to share. 

Phoebe was ecstatic I never heard her giggle so hard in her little life.  I should have grabbed the video camera! But instead I grabbed the trust Mamaratzzi Cam.

One word this little pea can say very clearly is balloon so she just kept saying it over and over throwing the balloon up in the air!  Her head kept going up too it was too cute…….

Static!

She just bounced her way through the house ……

All it took for my baby girl was a little balloon she played with this all night.  As much as she giggled we all giggled with her.  She slept well this night she wore her little legs out!

Sadly the balloon only last three days, but if it lasted too long the next balloon wouldn’t be as special!
