help please?

I need some serious blogging inspiration.  I mean, it's not like I don't have plenty going on in my little world.  But I'm just not so sure that laundry and diapers and dishes and discipline (or lack thereof) is exactly what people are dying to read about.  Nor is it what I am terribly excited to write about.  So this is where I need some creative input...
 
What exactly would you all like to hear about??  Caroline's recent attachment to socks?  My latest obsession with the television series Friday Night Lights (yes, I realize I'm a little behind the times)?  Ellie's newest skills like high-fiving and scaling small mountains?  I would LOVE for you to just drop me an idea or two in the comments below...and I will do my best to deliver on those suggestions.  For reals.
 
And if this is a total flop, perhaps I'll whip out an inspiring post on a recent foray into carpet stain removal.  (Did I use the word 'foray' correctly?  I think my vocabulary is slipping these days.  Fancy Nancy hasn't covered that one.)
 
In the meantime, at least you get to look at a few new pictures!  Enjoy.
 
Hey peeps!  Just chillin on my wood pile, rollin' in style.

She seriously wouldn't let us take her off of here when it was time to go inside.

Sweet sisters...


"Umm, Mom??  I think you need to do something about this!"

A late summer snack on the porch = MESS


It's a race!

a little morning Bible reading with Daddy

I happened to have my camera along after church last Sunday when we decided to stick around for a little picnic after church.  It was a gorgeous day, and I was excited to get some cute pictures.  Here are my two darlings!




She is just sheer fun right now :)

SAND!  Caroline asks every week if we can play in the sand after church (we have a volleyball court).  We finally obliged her, and she was ecstatic!

Ha!  Such an Ellie expression.

This captures Caroline right now pretty well -- silly, a little crazy, and still pretty darn sweet.  She's growing up mighty fast these days.
Two peas in a pod

I just love this one.  Daddy and his girl (well, one of his girls).  Makes my heart happy :)
Thanks for muddling through a really random post!  See ya next time!

I agree with Dan. That would be a good post. Or write one about some of your fav. things you've made in the kitchen lately. Or do a post like "How to cook with a three year old helping and a one year old at your feet" that would be funny…do it like "Step one: Locate plastic tupperware to scatter on the floor for the one year old. Step two:… etc" It would be good.

Seriously write about anything. For pity sakes I just wrote a blog about bobby pins so clearly people will read anything :) Just do a "day in the life" post or something.

Also: you used "foray" "for reals" and "peeps" all in the same post. Excellent.

LOVE all the pics. [Did you know you can make them bigger by clicking on the picture in your draft and then selecting a larger size? Well, if your camera takes them bigger anyway…mine takes MASSIVE pictures so I can do them big on the blog…]

I'm rambling now…time to go. Love you. Love your girls. Love your Dan. Love your blog…even when sporadic!

[write a blog about Dad's visit…i.e. how he falls into the same schedule as Ellie when he is there!]

Can't wait for November!!!

Kali, I just love hearing about your life, no matter what you write about! Especially a sock attachment...

I'm just thrilled when you blog - don't care about what. Although I do love pictures of your adorable little girls! Such sweeties - and you are getting more beautiful by the day! Marriage and motherhood look good on you.

I know that if you just blogged about some of your crazier days it would help you remember them better. What seems mundane to you now will seem heroic 15 years down the road. You forget too much in the intervening years, believe it or not. One of my favorite signs on FB says "I'm a SAHM. Ask me what I do all day, go ahead--I dare you!" lol

I will agree that I LOVE when you blog about anything. The tails of two girls are helpful for those of us that are yet to venture that route...however I sock ideas away for a later date! You all look great...the girls are soooo cute and their pictures make my heart melt.
I will also give you a "high five" for the use of foray, for reals and peeps all in the same post. So proud!!!
Love ya!!!
