insta-friday and week 3 of photo-a-day

i really have been trying to blog more often. i have photos from fall shoots that are just sitting here waiting to be posted. i thought this was going to be the week, but then i caught a little of the sickness that has been going around so i've been logging major hours on the couch with my dvr and a box of tissues. 

i'm not the type to set un-realistic expectations for myself, so for this next week-my goal will be to post again before friday. as much as i love linking up for insta-friday, i don't want this blog to turn into posts full of instagram photos. 

here we go with week 3

saturday started early for us

we were watching the nephews for the morning

one wanted hot chocolate, with marshmallows of course. the other didn't want the hot chocolate but still wanted the marshmallows...in his milk

we also modeled rain boots and made obstacle courses

i love these square mugs at my sister-in-law's house

this was the view from my seat of obama's second inauguration 

i made an amazing pot of chicken & white bean chili earlier this week

sweet-tart hearts! love holiday candy! 

i actually don't really care for sweet-tarts unless they are hearts, eggs, or skulls & crossbones...[i think those are my favorite but that is for obvious reasons]

another part of the living room makeover checked off the list
