Essence of Now: Dreary Days

I’m pretty sure Mother Nature is screwing with us.

It has been dark and cloudy and dreary and rainy for the last 2 weeks. TWO WEEKS. How is that even fair??

And now she’s threatening us with a snowstorm tonight. Whatever, Mother Nature. I’m ready. BRING IT ON.

Anyways, how does one pass the time after being stuck inside for days and days and days with a couple of rowdy toddlers?

(I really don’t know, people. I’m asking for suggestions here!)

We played Hide And Go Seek about 15 billion times…

We might have taken a few extra, longer baths just to kill some time…

The big kid was able to get lost in his Minecraft world (once of which I will never understand)…

Then I caught this little guy. When he sees me pull out my camera, he does the same…

PS – Mother Nature? I was totally kidding about the snow. Please let the sun come out!

Essence of Now

Kimberly

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.

  4. Great pictures!!

    I don’t understand Minecraft either.

  5. I love the Peek-a-Boo pics! It is so cold here that we are all a little stir-crazy. Lots of tea parties, Draw Somethings and X-box. Plus, I might single-handedly be eating my way through my pantry. I need the sun, too.

  6. Baths are always a good time killer! I LOVE that picture of your oldest on the computer. Great shot, Kimberly!

    • We may or may not have been taking 2-3 baths each day around here. Just because we are running out of ideas. And patience. Ahem.

      And thank you, so much!

  7. Everytime I pull out the camera, Layla does too. What’s with these kids?

  8. Oh it has been awful here too. I lvve the pictures, it kinda looks like everyone is hiding a bit in them.

    • Wait, did I read before that you were in NJ too? I am so ready for spring around here!!
      (And if I’m wrong on that, I’m so sorry!!)

  9. I hear ya! The last week we have had rain. No snow in this area, that’s a rare quality. But today there was sunshine and you could feel the smiles all around. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny too :) Sending you sunny thoughts!

  10. Hope you guys are still handling the weather okay! It’s really really cold–stay warm!

  11. Winter sucks! We’ve had rain for three days. With a toddler, that is just BLAH!!

    Stay warm and keep capturing photos like these.
