Sometimes, when Paige is sick, she makes this awful moaning sound with every breath. It’s particularly awful since there is nothing you can do- she doesn’t want food, drink, being held, put to bed, etc. Awful.

The Adventures of Matt, Shannon, Liam & Paige
Month: December 2011
I found these in a file on my desktop from months ago. Â I thought I’d already uploaded them here. Â I’m losing my mind.
“Smile, Paige!” (aka: “My name is Paige Connolly and I don’t do a dadgum thing I don’t feel like doing. Â Ever.”)
Farmer Paige:
An attempt at getting them in the same shot:
These were taken so long ago that this outfit no longer fits her. Â Which to be fair is also true of clothes she was able to wear two weeks ago…
“Oh, dear me!”
I just love what sibling rivalry has done for my ability to get good pictures of Liam. Â All I have to do is try to take pictures of Paige and Liam jumps in front of the camera and volunteers a pose. Â After failing to get good pictures of him on any regular basis for over a year, this is a welcome change. Â Just look at this face!
Photobomb:
So sweet.
Cheese!
Why do my children insist on playing under the kitchen table (which is the dirtiest place in the whole house…and that’s saying a whole lot these days)?
Partners in crime:
It’s shots like this one that make me feel justified in following them around with the camera from time to time:
Sneaky girl:
Caught!
“Check me out!”
Another attempt at a shot of them together:
This was the day Liam’s monkey costume came in the mail. Â He rushed immediately to try it on and gave me this pose which made me feel much better about ordering his costume rather than making it…
Tambourine (wo)man:
Paige gets in on that sweet dress-up action:
A boy and his top hat:
“HELLO MAMA!!!”
Monkeying around:
“Hey, Liam. Â Show me your best monkey impression.”
Sweet girl:
Paige gives the top hat a try:
Naked wheelie-bugging:
I have no idea what this face was about but I love it.
Love.
One goes in. Â The other comes out. Â Rinse and repeat. Â And again. Â And so on and so forth. Â Until someone starts crying…
What is it about a baby on a bug?
After a day at the fair with Gran and Granddaddy:
First face painting experience (he loved it so much that there were tears when it had to be washed off):
Sleepy, happy boy.
Posing in his school-photo-day duds:
You can’t tell how much I’m loving being able to take his picture again, can you?
I have no idea what the context of this picture is, but I love it.
That’s all for now. Â And possibly for a while. Â I make no promises these days…
I’ll refer you to the last post to explain why I’m posting Halloween pictures in December. Â Also? Â Baby Girl can’t quite decide if she’s going to give up her morning nap or not but as of this week she’s not napping in the morning. Â And this? Â This means that there is no time for anything that does not directly involve keeping children alive. Â The house is filthy. Â The laundry pile is impressive. Â The number of times we’ve eaten food that wasn’t prepared at home (and to be clear: Â right now I count Trader Joe’s pizzas and giant bowls of cereal for dinner as “prepared at home”) is insane. Â I honestly have no idea what happened to the month of November. Â With all that said: Â here’re the pictures from Halloween.
Monkey boy:
The dynamic duo:
Like Daddy, like daughter:
Getting ready to head out:
As soon as Paige caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror she started giggling and didn’t stop until we got her out of the car. Â It was awesome.
A banana tree, two bananas, and a monkey:
Paige’s first bit of Halloween spoils:
Love.
We started out at the Koulouris’s house since their street has lots of kids and much less traffic than ours. Â Paige and James spent most of the time riding in the wagon together while trading candy with each other (or putting it in Liam’s bag: a major big brother benefit). Â They were adorable!
Heading up a neighbor’s driveway:
Paige makes sure the goodies are safe:
Liam cashes in:
“Look, Dad! Â No hands!”
We let Paige play with a lollipop she found in the treat bag. Â Her very high interest level should have been a clue to me but I just thought she’d seen Liam eating one and was mimicking his behavior. Â As it turns out? Â She managed to chew through the wrapper and was helping herself. Â Oy.
Banana bug:
“Whoa, Liam. Â What a haul!”
Paige got to try one piece of chocolate:
She almost took my finger off going back for more!
We have a “you can eat all you want on Halloween night” rule and Liam took full advantage. Â Even still? Â The bowl where we poured the remainder isn’t yet empty. Â I’m pretty sure this means the statute of limitations hasn’t run out on posting Halloween pictures…
