Throwback Thursday

May 23, 2014 by Emily Kilpatrick Leave a Comment

Kyle’s working on our garage, which means a bunch of our old stuff is out on the patio, which means the kids are getting into a bunch of our old stuff.

Augie’s been bringing me pictures all evening.

Here are a couple from when we went to Disneyland with my Dad six years ago.

– I was about 5 months pregnant with Adelaide in these pictures. Now I’m about 5 months pregnant with our third kid! And we’re going to Disneyland tomorrow.

– My dad bought us Disneyland passports, which we’ve renewed every year since.

– a 1-day, 1-park pass was $66 in 2008. Now it’s $96.

– I was wearing a button up polyester shirt with a pointillist shipyard scene that I bought from an antique store in college. Kyle was wearing a yellow sweatshirt…I think it was American Apparel via the thrift store. It must have been chilly because I’m also wearing a sweater and a Members Only jacket.

– We were so young, so emaciated, so pale, so poor. But we had The Rock (our church), choir, WIC, and each other. And Disneyland passes! (Thanks, Dad.)

– The Submarine Voyage is closed down now.

– I look a lot like my dad, especially with the sun in my eyes.

A little fleece blankie and headband from Aunt Britty and a pink gingham top and giraffe hat/diaper cover combo from Grandma Cindy. Love!

Running on fumes

I ran out of gas last week! We’ve been driving our old Buick in the heat since it has working air conditioning, but it doesn’t have a gas light or alarm like our other car.

Adelaide was barefoot, but excited for the adventure. Augie on the other hand was very uncooperative on the walk back from the gas station. He just wanted to be held by his pregnant mama…who was carrying a gas can…in 90 degree weather. So he sat down and cried every few feet. Thankfully we were only a couple blocks away from the gas station. And he was helpful once we got to the car.

We just need to save up for a Tesla.

Confession

I cannot cook with children.

Every time I cook something or bake something, Adelaide and August want to help. And I want them to help. So I let them help.

Because I’m a good mommy.

They will have wonderful memories of cooking with Mom. They will be confident in the kitchen. They will like cooking more than I do.

But then then Adelaide puts her fingers in the quinoa, and Augie grabs three spoons to stir with, and they fight over who is holding the measuring cup and spill flour on the floor, and I lose it.

“No! No! No! Out! Out! Out!” I yell.

“Waaaaaaaaaaaa!” They cry.

Because I’m a bad Mommy.

They will remember how Mom was such a control freak in the kitchen. How I never let them help. They won’t know how to boil water, much less bake a chicken.

How do moms do this?

I got my hairs cut

I volunteered for a Bumble and Bumble hair demo last week. It may be the most “normal” haircut I’ve gotten as a hair model, but I think I’m OK with it.

When it was done, one of the stylists said, “Aw, you look like a mom!” I laughed and said, “Is that a good thing?”

Regardless, I like having short hair again. My hair doesn’t do anything when it’s long. Lazy hair.

My mom came to visit us for a couple of days last week. So of course, we went to Disneyland. And In-N-Out Burger. Apparently Kyle did not make it into any of the photos. (Sorry, babe.)
