little bits of happiness | mom lyfe.

i post a lot of pictures on here of me dressed up for "steppin' out" or me at work with my hair curled & a cute shirt/cardi combo but the truth of the matter is those are the rare days.  they're the rare days where i get out of bed determined to do a little sumpin-sumpin with myself.  which is an achievement in itself.

this day?  was tuesday.  sam had a late meeting & the day was all about survival.  it was about getting through bath time, gettin the kid in pj's & making it til dad gets home.

it was a day where you never make it out of your work out clothes {yes, we did at least make it to stroller strides that morning} & you stay in your yoga pants & oversized hoodie because why get out of your stretchy pants & waste a perfectly good outfit on no one?

also?  stretchy pants.  duh.

and oh yeah, on this day parker decided he no longer liked baths & washing his hair involved clinging to me for dear life.  i think i ended up getting as wet as him.

and it was at this moment, after parker's bath as i stood in front of the mirror with my crazy unbrushed hair, no makeup & wet hoodie, that i knew i had to get out my camera.  because this stuff needs to be documented.

he's lucky he's cute.  especially when post-bath with his clean hair & fresh jammies you see him get that mischievous look in his eye...

...on come the boots.  pajamas may say it's bedtime to me but to him?  there's still room for discussion.

apparently on this particular night i needed my boots too.

and then comes the persuading... "mommy, go!  mommy, let's go!"

and just in time, sam gets home.  i guess our adventures will have to wait for another night... because daddy kinda trumps all.

i love this kid.  i love the days where everything else gets put to the side & parker & i just go through the day.  we read stories, we eat sandwiches, we take naps, we color & we don't do anything productive.  i don't do my hair, the laundry piles up & anything important waits til tomorrow.

i love being a mom.
