InstaFriday – take 2

My unabashed love for Instagram continues.

It’s so fun to snap random throughout the week.

And tweet it.

And sometimes post it to Facebook.

But I think it’s a fun way to document the tiny details of your day in a fun and hip way too.

Here’s a few of my favorites from this week:

Our Target was just remodeled and added a grocery section!  Gasp!  This might be bad people.

But even more than that: TRIPLE KID CARTS have been added in!!!!  COULD THIS BE MORE PERFECT???!!!  I think not.

Except of course when a woman asked me: “Triplets?”

“Wha?  No.  The girls are twins.  But he’s two years older.”

“Oh!  I totally thought they were triplets!!!”

To which the random dude a few feet away said “I thought they were triplets too!”

That’s a new one.

Henry started swim class this week.

Except that it’s not Learn How To Swim Class…

turns out it’s Playtime In The Water Class.

Whatever.  It’s cute.  He thinks he’s soooooo grown up.

Lucy insisted that she wear her baby legs down below her knees.

She then insisted that she wear the pink glittered tennies.

It was quite the look.  How gray is my hair?  I feel like I ask that every week.  Oh wait, it’s because I do.

Now I know what some of you are thinking: she’s not even TWO, how can she “insist”???!!!

I know.  I would have thought the same thing.

But y’all haven’t met Lucy yet.  It’s like stubborn on steroids.

I’ve been meaning to get Henry one of those caterpillar turns into a butterfly kits for a while now.

So when my friend Liz blogged about it, I instantly placed an order.

And they came FedEx super quick.

And we set it all up excitedly.

And it’s boring.

Like, super boring.

Plus, I have to field “Did they turn into butterflies yet?” questions about 458 times a day.

Everytime I use windex I think of the dad from My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

Which makes me then think of my family.

Which makes me laugh.

Because the first time Andy and I watched that movie we sat with our jaws on the ground.

THAT’S TOTALLY YOUR FAMILY JEANNETT!!!

DUDE, I KNOW EXACTLY HOW THAT GUY FEELS RIGHT NOW!!!

SERIOUSLY THIS MOVIS IS MY LIFE!!!

Disclaimer: Andy’s family is not the ultra boring forks clinking type like in the movie…but compared to my Portuguese family…it’s quite the contrast.

Joy.  Happiness.

I can’t wait until he can do it for real.

Is that mean?

Whatever.

 

If Heaven had a scent, I’m convinced it would smell like this.

Somedays, if I’m having a bad day, I’ll wipe my kitchen counters off with this stuff.

Just so it smells pretty.

Now, I want to warn you: it’s not cheap.

Like…$10 for one bottle at Target.

I know, right?!

And I’m ULTRA CHEAP!!!

But I promise it’s worth it.  Scouts Honor.

Which would mean more if I had ever been a Girl Scout, but let’s ignore that fact.

It’s worth buying just to have and use right before you have company over.  It’ll make your kitchen smell like unicorns and rainbows and sparkley sparkles for HOURS.

Or you can be like me and use it all the time…because you found five bottles on clearance for 75% off.

Sorry.

It’s totally okay to hate me.  I would hate me too.

 

Okay, now YOUR turn!  Do you Instagram?  (see how I made that a verb?  awesome.)  Pick a handful of your favorite pictures from the week and blog them…and then link up!  It’ll be fun!  I think.  :)

I'm a mom to four. A wife to one. I believe in story. I love telling you about mine and would love to hear yours. There's really no sense in wasting our suffering and not sharing in each other's joy. We're all in this together...even if it doesn't always feel like it.

    I was totally looking forward to this! I am SO in. I love instagram. I even had an insta-sunday post this week as well. Nothing wrong with two. :)

    What a fun way to show off all the fun pics! The triplets thing is so funny. :) And all that sunshine in your pictures makes me long for summer. Thankfully yesterday we had quite the summery day :)

    Hey there!
    This made me smile on a Friday morning :).
    I don’t instigram … I mean I don’t even have a phone that can I download Apps to (Apple or not) … I know seriously. How do I live like this?!?!

    BUT … we do have the same caterpillars ;). I think we’re about 5 days ahead of you. They do get slightly more interesting (er, disgusting) as they grow and defecate (bleh). Enjoy!! :D

    Happy Weekend!

    Love the pictures!

    And YES, love Target and their big carts and groceries, love, love, love. I may or may not have been there yesterday, and I may or may not have bought a bunch of stuff.

    I have many a fond memory of the Santa Maria Target by the way, when my kiddies were little. One of the first places I took the oldest three by myself.

    I wish I had Instagram photos that were cute enough for a post! Love the sparkly converse, sometimes I wish I wasn’t an adult so I could wear cute things like those all the time.

    Your disclaimer about the Atkinson/Gibson family didn’t mention that we Scots argue for sport. As I remember, that was a little hard on you. You thought we were mad at each other all the time!

      I’m the same way but I have a blackberry tour, as much as I’d like to convert to a iphone just for the cool instagram app. I need my phone to work in the US as well as Europe, when iphone makes that happen… count me in!

    I do use instagram. But only because some crazy Portuguese told me to. She insisted and I caved. They are on my FB page….

    Cheers!

    I do not Instagram b/c I don’t have an iPhone. And I don’t use the camera much on my Droid. I think it takes crappy pictures, 8 MP or not.

    But I have to say…we cannot let little Lucy meet my Libby. It would be like stubborn on…I don’t know what. Steroids times a million gazillion? Libs will sweep the floor like Henry did (so sweet!), and then when I go to redo it so you know, something actually gets swept up, she says, “No, Mama. I already do that. No need do it again.” And then argue/throw a fit if you don’t listen to her. Ack. The teenage years ago gonna be fun. ;)
