t.o.t, or more like, –> dirty clothes and no sense

June 12, 2012

Miscellaneous

hat: old navy . sweater: anthropologie . vest: old navy . shirt: target . shorts: thrifted . shoes: dolce vita . watch: dkny
let’s just say the title pretty much sums it up. we are all finally home, enjoying all it has to offer (the bed, the bed, and the bed), and all it doesn’t, like any clean clothes to speak of, and the food or the lack thereof. 
also, my slow moving brain that has shrunk to the size of a walnut at this point, forgot to charge the camera. good one. so those slightly noisy pictures you see above were taken by my handy little iphone. i do have to admit, for an iphone, they aren’t too shabby. still not the quality of our camera.
yes friends, that is what i had to work with this week for this oh so lovely tuesday post, all the clean clothes left in my closet and an iphone camera. still, i could think of worse things.
as a side note :: i am extremely excited to catch up on my shows especially breaking point. too excited actually, pathetically excited. 
also, i’m not sure i have ever been so ecstatic to go to bed. it has never felt so soft, cozy and luxurious. it has never really felt anything more than a bed but tonight it feels like clouds sent from heaven, like cotton balls sewn together to make one big ball of lovely fluff, like our bed. this was a dangerous place to plop myself down and start to write, but my body had no choice in the matter. it pulled me in like a magnet attracts its better half and hasn’t let go (for over an hour now). yes, i think i missed you most of all.

captured in a weekend

during the summer, my job changes from personal assistant to nanny with all of the kids out of school. for the past three years now, i have kicked off the summer craziness with a five day nanny blowout. parents have gone out of town and i stay about five days with these silly kids.
we have done everything from swimming to tennis lessons, ice cream nights out to room cleaning, waffle night to the hunger games, piano to playing ghost in the graveyard, hair cuts to bath night.
i knew while being so busy it was going to be a bit hard putting this post together by myself while documenting our weekend, so i called in the kids help sunday and had them help me capture our day in pictures. each one of them got a time and, with no rules, they were able to capture whatever their hearts desired (with a little help from me and camden when the day got too fun to step away). 
enjoy our crazy weekend in this extremely long list of photos. let me be the first to congratulate you if you make it to the end.

the week wrapped up with instagram

because i have been up since 4:30 this morning
(that was twenty hours ago now, a whole twenty hours),
and my brain has turned into something resembling soggy cereal
(a bit of blogger’s block due to a case of the mean reds),
please insert something funny and witty here. 
have a wonderful weekend everyone!
mine will be spent doing a lot of nannying, 
but more about that monday.
see you then, i’m off to bed.

disposable camera –> beautiful photos

June 6, 2012

Miscellaneous

about a year ago while cleaning out some junk, camden found an old disposable film camera of his that he hadn’t seen in years. it has actually been a while since i have last seen a disposable camera. we set it aside and sort of forgot about it, then a couple months ago, he took it in and decided to get the photos developed. he somehow managed to forget to show me what was on that little camera and stuck the photos away in a cupboard. well a bit ago, while looking for something, i was digging through that same cupboard and came across them and boy was i amazed. they were so cool and unique and frankly i was shocked at camden’s disposable camera skills at probably the age of twelve (i think he has found his calling). i found them breathtaking, all those memories trapped inside, days once forgotten captured in a little photo. they got my creative brain starting to whirl and twirl all up inside until the idea popped in my little brain, how fun would it be to get a new disposable camera, then every once in a while, pull it out to snap a picture. years down the road we can develop them and once again reveal lost memories being rediscovered. i’m seriously giddy over it.
enjoy a few photos taken by camden and his long lost disposable camera.
