just us

 so...for a whole week, it was just king and i. daddy had to go out of town to 2 different conferences so we held down the fort. and...it's still standing! ha! actually we are pretty used to this and i secretly cherish these times where it's just the two of us. do not get me wrong, i love it when we are all together-nothing beats that. but, when it's just kingston and i, it's special.  and because his 4th birthday fell into this week, my snuggles were a little tighter, we found a little more adventure, and somehow, when i didn't think it was possible, we bonded a little closer.  king is my most  favorite person to hang out with in the history of ever. i am so enjoying living life through his little eyes that are just full of wonder. what an awesome week it was! (let it be known that the feelings of triumph and happiness were balanced with exhaustion and dirty dishes. all worth it.)
target makes me happy too.
target...how we love thee. let us list the ways (items we'll be needing). best shopping partner ever right here.


and a few un-instagrammed iPhone shots from our week. 
reading to your class, adventure at a new park, bubble bath, and your last night as a 3 year old.

we will finish up kingston's 4th birthday celebrations this weekend! happy week to all!

  2. Target Love + King Birthday Goodness = Good Stuff!! I love seeing the "Uninstagrammed" photos, too. I always have a camera roll full of ones "on the cutting room floor", so to speak. They deserve to see the light of day. I completely sympathize with enjoying your time when it's just the two of you. I am the same. So glad you had the extra time together on his birthday week!

    1. Ahh, Target. I'm sure you've seen the photo on pinterest that says "look deep into my eye" and a stick figure looking at the target logo...it's so me! and probably you too! ;) Yeah, i always have so many photos on my roll that are unposted. They DO deserve to see the light of day! :) i do always have an instagram spread in k's albums so some of them end up there or just in the album in general if they are good enough to make the cut. :) thanks for reading my posts, Naomi. means a lot! xoxo
