No Picture

Well much to everyone's disappointment, there is no picture with today's post. This is to represent the fact that I FORGOT TO TAKE A PICTURE YESTERDAY!! I'm totally bummed about this...since it means I failed at my 365 day challenge. But...I'm not giving up...just tweaking the challenge a bit. I have decided I get 3 strikes (yesterday being one of them). After three strikes I'm out...which doesn't mean I get to quit...it just means I have to start over from that day foreword with 365 more days. Ok...there...I said it out loud, now you all are responsible for holding me to it!
In other news...we got a WHOPPING blizzard yesterday. And it really was a blizzard, the weatherman said so (apparently there are special criteria to meet)! I left the office to pick up Beau and work from home at about 11 AM. I couldn't see a thing the whole way...it was actually really scary! Here is something to put it in perspective...I couldn't see where to stop to turn into Racine. When I finally found it and was waiting to turn I couldn't see the flashing neon sign at the gas station that you all make fun of. Yeah, the one that was 2 feet in front of my face. Holy Moly...that's a whiteout!
And now for your Beau fix...he is good, the weather hasn't phased him a bit. Still rolling like a wild man, and last night was just about getting pushed up onto all fours. Something tells me we're going to have a crawler on our hands very soon.
Ok....TTFN (ta ta for now for those of you not up on your Tigger talk).

Around here.....

Here's just a little snapshot of what life looks like right now. Around here we're starting to get into the basketball season.  Both Beau and Cora are participating in traveling basketball through SYBA.  The crazy weekends of tournaments haven't started yet, but they're both having practice regularly.  Luke will be the assistant coach to Cora's team this year.  Sylvie will get to play too, but her season won't start until January and is one game on Saturday mornings in town. Around here are three kids are going to religion class on Wednesday nights, I'm teaching Cora's 3rd grade class.  Between that and basketball practice it's rare to have a weeknight where we are all home. Around here we're getting excited for the holidays!  I'm starting in on some shopping, planning and thinking about getting the house decorated.  The kids are getting Christmas lists made, and my desk is full of December Daily prep work.  Around here I...

WITL Day 5 - Friday

Friday began, as predicted, with a steady soaking rain and I was glad I switched my run to yesterday.  At 5am Georgia decided I've hit the snooze button enough, puts her paws up on the bed and licks my hands until I get up.  She didn't get the same glad feeling about not getting to head out on a run, and lay pouting by the front door. I fill her food bowl while the coffee brews, and she decides that if we can't run she'll ask to be repeatedly let in and out instead.  The result was lots of muddy paw drying. Around 6 Luke leaves for work and Georgia settles down.  The house is finally quiet and still and I'm thankful for the few minutes of peace. It's daycare appreciation day, and this year I am showered with gifts from my families.  It definitely adds a boost to the otherwise dreary and slow start to the day.  As the kids are packing their bags for school I find that some homework has been neglected throughout the week.  I'm ...

Not The Only One

Another Halloween has come and gone.  This year we had a dinosaur, vampire, and Snow White (returning for the second year in a row).   Holidays like this are always such a stark reminder of just how not babies my babies are.  Once again I just wasn't in the Halloween spirit this year.  We didn't even go to a pumpkin patch or apple orchard.  The few free hours we had were cold and rainy and the kids weren't in to it.  I definitely wasn't into it. This year, as if I needed more of a reminder of how fast my kids' childhood is slipping away, the social media trend seemed to be "Halloween from years gone by".  Everyone, at least in my "friend" feed was posting year to year Halloween pictures of their kids.   As I was busy liking and loving everyone's past Halloweens I came across a post that stopped me in my tracks.  In her post she stated that she felt like the Scrooge of Halloween and that what was once fun now felt like ...
