Black and White Wednesday

I didn't coordinate a black and white Wednesday post this week. I just picked up my camera and snapped a few shot this morning of us doing what we do everyday. Playing in the living room. Looking out the window. Hangn' in the playroom downstairs. Just wonderful, simple, fulfilling day to day life.

This morning the thaw broke with a spectacular mini blizzard. James was memorized.
This kid is so funny. He has a house full of toys and his favorite things are a 10" piece of rope (seen here), a granola bar in its wrapper, the mustard that he insists that he get out of the fridge each and every time I open it and the tube of toothpaste.
Last weekend James, E and I went to IKEA so we could pimp out the playroom in the basement. We are so thrilled with how it is coming along but it isn't quite done, so no photos yet. My favorite part of this entire room? This amazing retro airplane lamp from Pottery Barn Kids. It was expensive but we'd been longing for it for so long we decided to just bite the bullet and get it. So glad we did.
