Essence Of Now: Weddings and Sunshine

See this couple below? They look all sweet and innocent, right?

Well, take them to a wedding, let them have a few drinks, throw them on the dance floor and tell the DJ to play “Baby Got Back”. A different side comes out. That’s all I’m saying about that one.

Ahem.

Oh, and the little rascals? They had some shenanigans of their own this week, too.

They learned how to climb a tree…

They ran through the fields…

They played in the leaves…

And climbed to the top of the jungle gym…

And the little peanut? Well, at least he kept a smile on Mommy’s face this week…

I mean, seriously. Melts. My. Heart.

Now let’s hope that the weather stays this gorgeous. I am not ready to be stuck inside again!

I am a busy mom of four, trying to keep my head above water as I swim through the sea of testosterone that has taken over our house. I'm a coffee addict and book lover. My family is everything to me and I often write about my journey through motherhood. This blog captures those special moments in life. This life isn’t easy. It’s not always full of sunshine and rainbows. It’s hard. It’s a struggle. But it’s MY life. Welcome to it. Don't want to miss a post? Be sure to subscribe to my RSS feed.

    You guys look fabulous!! It’s good to shake the booty every now and then isn’t it?

    We had gorgeous weather all week too. The kids were back in shorts, but now cold and rainy.
    I declared a movie day in bed — which is fun too!

  15. Looks like a great week and the weather looks beautiful! YOU, my friend, look fantastic! :) Hope you guys stay safe during the hurricane!

    Dimples and fall’s crinkly crimson leaves. Quite an awesome combination. And what “Baby Got Back” in combination with cocktails can do? Pretty awesome too. ;> :>
