And We're Off!

I am sorry to report that I did NOT win the HGTV dream home. They surprised the winner last night on live TV. (She was from Iowa, but not very excited if you ask me.) I spent the evening peeking out the windows and jumping at every car door I heard, wondering if just maybe it might be the dream home crew ready to ambush me with balloons and a multi million dollar house. I kind of felt like a little kid waiting for Santa Clause. Oh well, there is always next year!!

Beau is officially crawling on his hands and knees. He started last Friday night. He was playing on the floor and all of a sudden was taking off on all fours. It looked completely effortless, like he had been doing it all along. Luke and I were both left with our mouths hanging wide open. We knew it was coming soon, but I expected something a little more gradual. One day he was dragging himself around on his belly, barely ever even getting up on all fours, and the next he is crawling around the house like a wild man!

I am also including a picture of our Easter tree that I've decided can only be described as creepy. I actually had a lot of difficulty even getting a decent picture of it, so you'll have to use your imaginations. It may not be the most elegant thing you have ever laid your eyes upon, but it is our first Easter tree nonetheless. Besides Beau loved it and immediately grabbed at the branches and tried to knock it over...and that's all that matters right?!

Oh yeah, and Happy St Patrick's Day! We celebrated by trying out a new Reuben casserole (thanks Jill!) which is kind of like corned beef and cabbage. I must admit, I am not wearing green. Although that is a mistake I will not make again...it is amazing how many people have pointed that out to me today. I did however make sure my child was dressed in green from head to toe, so I figure I did my part. I am also diligently sucking down a wonderfully green Mt. Dew if that helps my cause. Alright that is all for today, and smile...you survived Monday!

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 ...
