High Five For Friday

I’m trying something new this week and posting my High Five for Friday!

I’ve been lusting after a pair of red patent leather heels for months to go with a few black and white outfits I’ve gotten recently. I finally snagged this pair from Steve Madden with the Amazon gift card I got from my mom for my birthday. Every girl needs a pair of red heels!

I mean, lugging different versions of a big old stroller (including a double when I had a two year old and a newborn) with me where ever I went has just been part of my life for the last seven years. It’s just kind of something a mom with babies/little kids always does. And now that part of our life is over, just like that….*sniff*

But anyways, I snapped this photo of my two big walking kiddos strolling along all stroller-less to remember the moment forever. I love how I captured them in deep conversation! What the heck are they talking about, I wonder?

3. I’m Spidermom

This is a view of part of the back of our house from the deck. That second story balcony (which is woefully under used and under decorated, as in it’s completely bare) leads to our master bedroom. My point in telling you this is not to point out boring details of our home architecture but to show you the balcony I scaled the other day when we got locked out of the house while the hubster was at work. I somehow managed to drag a twenty foot ladder from the garage by myself, hurl my 5 foot 2 inch frame over that railing, wrench open the window screen and crawl into the house (because, of course, the porch door leading to the bedroom was also locked up tighter than a drum).

In retrospect, that was really dumb and I could have killed myself. But, I was desperate and feeling all ” I am woman hear me roar-y” or something…

It was nice to hear Mr. Man say all impressed-like when I came back down, “Mom! You’re like a super hero or something!” I kind of am.
