| "Hi, I'm Max. I'm a three year-old, squeaky, screaming, tantruming, affectionate, wonder-filled crazy person." |
 |
| "Hi, I'm Mazzy. I'm a five year-old 'chattering cat' who needs constant eye contact and to be front and center at all times. I'm curious, and smart and also crazy." |
 |
"Hi, I'm Keri. Most of the time I'm a combination of impatient and hurried (are those the same things?). I adore my kids and want the world for them but often times feel lackluster in the parental department. I'm the poster child mom for crazy." |
 |
| But we love the beejeesus out of one another. |
 |
| Resilient and Lovely and Incorrigible. |
 |
| Funny thing: As we came upon what I will call a 'herd' of deer....Mazzy points and says, 'Hey, mom! What is that monkey called?' Me: 'Uh Maz, that's a deer's rear end.' |
 |
| I like to watch 'em from afar (and frankly, out of ear shot) every now and then. |
 |
| When they are not arguing over a place on the couch to sit or a toy or whether or not Max really needs to put on the purple dress, they really do enjoy one another. |
 |
| Typical in our house.: Mama #2 (aka Mazzy) bossing around the little man. |
 |
| How dare we tell him he can't take a rock home for Panda. The nerve, huh Mister! |
So we headed out on a little adventure yesterday to get the crazies in our family out and about. I have to admit the crazy never did leave our little group as we meandered through the nature center but the sunshine was good for us all. Feeling the ever holy and beloved sunshine on your skin works magic on ones "grumpy stripes".
Oh, Keri, I enjoyed EVERY moment of this. Your humor is so endearing to me and this post really made me smile. Sounds like a perfectly normal family to me! :) <3
ReplyDeleteAli, thanks for letting me spill all my crazy mom moments out on you. <3
ReplyDeleteRight back atcha, babe. <3
DeleteSanity is overrated. :-) You Creegers are the cutest crazies I know! Also, your photography has just gotten better since your blogging break. And I think we're gonna take Harlie here this weekend...thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteRight!? Thanks, sis. Love ya. Have fun this weekend!!
DeleteYou are a beautiful family regardless of the crazy that shines through ;). Your kids have SO much personality and are so charismatic in photos. Love Max with his back pack, and Mazzy being all diva-like on the log.
ReplyDeleteI like to give Mark voices too sometimes. :) It's fun! It makes him more lovable sounding when he is being less than!
Mel, that made me laugh! :)
DeleteMel, you crack me up. Like, for real.
