It certainly has been a good long while since I did a Friday phone dump. These days I try to keep our DSLR around at all times to capture the moments of our days; however, with three littles around that sometimes just isn’t possible so I capture a lot of our days on my camera phone. Here’s just a little taste of our ordinary which is pretty extraordinary.
Also, I post very frequently to my Instagram feed if you would like to follow me my username is KRISTENPERREAULT
While somedays I long for calm, quiet and order I can’t help but enjoy my crazy these days. There are hugs, smiles and laughter each and each day; we are blessed. God is good!! No complete Friday phone dump today just two of my recent favorites…
Happy Weekend to you all!
I haven’t had a phone dump in quite some time so here you go. A little bit of random, a little bit silly and a whole lot of everyday love.

what, you don’t wash foam letters in your dishwasher?
he is not a huge fan of the gate
he couldn’t quite get his hat off when he was riding in the car and this is how he looked when I opened the door
how many pears can I fit in my mouth all at once
paper, scissors, glue
impressive coloring skills for a 2.5 year old if you ask me
My immediate response when people ask lately how we are/ how I am is “Crazy, good but crazy”. However, the more I think about this the more I realize we are less and less crazy and more and more normal. You see, before we had any kiddos we had plenty of time to do whatever we wanted whenever we wanted and honestly I am not all that sure what we did with our boat loads of free time. After we had Jay we thought we were seriously crazy and had no free time and then we had Charlie (bringing the parent child ratio up to one-to-one) and actually had less free time. If you would have asked me about our free time when we just had Jay I would have found it rather laughable; now I am not sure what we did with it all. Perspective is funny that way… All this to say that we are crazy or normal; however you want to think of it and here is a taste of our crazy brought to you by the ever present iPhone.

reading the Monster at the End of this Book on the ipad… he really didn’t like it at first but enjoyed it after he realized “the blue guy” (Grover) was the monster
watermelon- Jay eats EVERY last bite
I apparently haven’t dumped my phone photos in forever so instead of overloading you all in one day I will post the rest tomorrow- stay tuned for part two ;)
