Our vacation was only four days long…but we did so much in those four days. Making me realize that the hubby and I are very boring people. We are home bodies.
We are exhausted. These last few days wore us out!
So because of all of this…this is my post. I will be just venting my exhaustion.
Also I realize all my posts lately have been poems. But poems are easy and not time consuming. I usually write it the night before, or if I wake up early in bed.
So pardon the repetitiveness. This is not becoming a poetry blog. It is still an everything blog.
Have a wonderful Friday! 🌷Fall is almost here! 🍁
Some photos from our trip.
We rented a house. Very comfy. We actually ended up bringing the mattress from the other room, placing it on the floor, and using it for baby. I love tunnels. Baby does too! She puts her hands up like it was a rollercoaster. I love it when the sun comes through the clouds! God is saying hello!I stayed over here. 350ft drop…Heights…Nope! 😳Water. As baby says…waaer Big Waaer! Baby again ran straight for it; thankfully daddy caught her in time!The dead trees mixed with the alive trees was trippy on the eyes. It was actually giving me a headache when I stared at it too long. Beautiful mountains!
This actually happened this morning. The positive side of this…is I finally had something to draw…😑
…Mama is peacefully sleeping. Not dreaming just sleeping! In the darkness…”mama…mama…”Hmmm? …??…no…Please no…no…CLICK!Light! Blahhhhh!“No Eli. Turn it off!”She was tanking the pillow off my face as she yelled at me. I knew it was early…but not that early…ugh…Mama is not happy…😒
…
You know those days where something wakes you up and you just know it’s early…that’s awful in itself… Then add the flooding of light…!
Why does she always wake up early on Sundays. I try and make her sleep in so she will be in a happy mood for church. But nope. She foils my plans every week.
I’ve been awake now 3 hours 11 min. Please pray for my head… because the exhaustion headache is going to be real later…
Again…no comic but I do have a drawing. Another picture of my sweetness. ❤️
Drawing with color always takes more time. It’s strange, when I draw the comics with pen I have no hesitation…even though, if I make a mistake it is permanent.
But with markers I worry. I think it’s because if you put the wrong color you can’t fudge your mistake as easily as a black line.
This was day one. I’m still not the best at capturing her expressions…The Parade By emily2jane 07-21-21
I’m also not the best at proportions. All my schooling from my life drawing class has left my brain. I guess it’s time to take out that notebook…
Enjoy your Friday! Maybe be filled with smiles!! 😊
Well…I haven’t had a chance this week to draw a comic…
VBS at church. Birthdays. Chasing my baby. Etc.
But I did find a chance to draw a small 4×6 drawing of Eli.
Yellow Summer by emily2jane 07-23-21
The grass was improvising. Since the actual surroundings were too gray. I used marker and color pencil, on textured paper. I’ll do another one here soon! Also I’ll post a comic as soon as I can.
But still my sweet little thing in her pretty yellow dress.
Bedtime!Eli is finally asleep and in her own bed ❤️Now mama’s turn…😪“No…no…!”Eli!!Just a dream…sleep…“Stop…stop!”“Eli…”😢“Think of something happy…”Snuggles…🥰
Right when I needed something happy she woke up, crawled into bed with me, and gave me a hug. 🥺 My little sweet sweet taking care of mama even while sleeping.
I can’t even recall what the nightmares were, but they were enough for me to almost decide to get up at 3:30am…
My sweet baby girl 💕
Give a hug to your sweet thing; whomever it may be! 🥰
The Beach!!Chase the cousins!!The wind, the sand, the…The ocean!It should be a peaceful relaxed day for mama 😎What? Wait!?! NO!!!!Runaway baby, straight to the water…!I compromised. Went waist deep but must stay with mama. Long exciting day! She napped the whole way home 🥰
So normally when little kids see the ocean for the first time you think… they will be timid, afraid, run away from the waves…
Yeah, no. Once she saw the water that is all she wanted to do. I spent the entire time holding her arms, otherwiseshe would have booked it out farther. 😳
We were at the beach for almost 4 hours and probably 3 of it was spent in the water. We played in the sand for a smidge. But two things ruined that idea. One: she was over it when I showed her the sand crabs. “She doesn’t like bugs.” Second: the water would destroy her castles, so it seemed like she gave up. 🤣
But overall it was a fun day. But I should say since we went out to waist deep, I spent the day lifting her up when a wave would seem to high. So I assumed the slight squat position while arm curling for those 3 hours. I was so sore the next day…
Hiking!Actually the first time she can walk on her own following Daddy. So big! With her backpack and ponytail!The river was rushing…Then…Mama and baby cross the bridge! (Finally a picture with mama)My two favorite people!! ❤️What is this you might ask? A spider nest the size of two hands…Yeah…nope! I zoomed in to the photo so that you could see…I was not getting closer…Stop looking! Catch up to the family…!?!A sleeping baby on the drive home…❤️
Our very first legit hike. Not one where I had to carry her the entire time. Not one where she got angry 10min in…
We did leave after about 20min. Because a storm was coming, and I didn’t want to attempt this hike wet and muddy…with a two year old…
But still it was a fun day. And it was filled with such sweet moments.
This Spring is more like Summer… I’m missing the cooler temperatures here…
It’s hotter here than where my family lives…🥵Warm weather does mean…walks in the neighborhood. Water time with Daddy!! We got a small pool. Eli loves the water. Warmer weather means happy moods.Funny faces contests…!Splish splash!! More pool time!!While making lunch she shoved an entire carrot in her mouth. (Her hair was also crazy!)Day is over. Now time for sleep…Just happy days ending with happiness! ❤️
When the warm weather is here it means we can do more things. Yes it means that Eli overheats in any temperature above 65 degrees, but playing in water she survives.
I hope your days can be warm, and spent with family! 💕
