Hello Monday

Happy Monday everyone, going back to work is such fun isn't it? Beau finally got to try out his sled this weekend, and he loved it. Actually, once he was on he wouldn't get off of it.... not to walk around in the snow, not to play with the neighbor kids that came over, and definitely NOT to go inside! It was pretty cold though, so we had to make it quick, but he loved it all the same. This morning I got his snow pants out of the closet to pack up for another week at daycare and he got all excited. Total bummer when they just went in a Target bag. We (and by "we" I mean Luke due to our uncooperative child and lots of stinky fumes) finished priming the basement and painting the ceilings this weekend, so now we're ready for paint. Thank goodness...putting actual colors on the walls instead of white primer gets me a little more excited about picking up a paint brush. (Now if only I could decide on the colors!)


As many of you know my son has boycotted anything even resembling a vegetable so I'm trying out this new cookbook I got for Christmas. It's all about "hiding" the good for you stuff in the food that he will actually eat. I haven't tried any of the recipes yet but have been working on getting some of the veggie puree's made up. Yesterday I made sweet potato, cauliflower, and spinach. That will show up in mini pizza's and homemade mozzarella sticks later this week. Luke is NOT a fan of the mini food chopper I have, it's not ideal, but it works....even if you do need ear plugs anywhere within a 10 mile radius.

Beau had to go back to the Dr. today to make sure his ear infection was all cleared up (it is) and then get another wonderful round of shots. He must have remembered the Doctors office from when we were there with an ear infection a couple weeks ago because as soon as we walked in the room and he saw that bed it was a total melt down. Once the nurse left he settled down and liked playing with the toys and looking at the pictures on the wall. Of course the shots were not pleasant be he recovered quickly. Actually we thought he was crying afterwards because of the shots, but turns out he just wanted to get down and play with that toy some more. What a trooper.

    Hi Lindsay - thought I'd stop by and say happy new year to you and your fam! Happy pureering - it's sad, but I got that book for my HUSBAND who hardly eats veggies. The mozz stix took a couple tries to get them from melting all over the pan, but were worth the effort - yum! :)

Life Right Now - November 2025

 Right now Beau is a senior and has a schedule that has him home most of the afternoon.  He is currently between jobs.  He worked at Hartmann Lawn Care for the summer and fall, and is re-starting at Fleet Farm this week (today, actually).  He worked there throughout the school year last year too, and they hired him back for this year. Right now Cora is a sophomore and just finished up her school volleyball season.  She played middle hitter for the JV team this year, and then was moved up to Varsity for sections and state.  She got to spend a week up in the Cities with the team, and they ended up placing 3rd.  She will play for the 17s team for JO this winter.  Practices for that will start after Thanksgiving, with tournaments starting in January.  She will be doing an off season workout program through the school this winter until softball practices start up in early spring. Right now Sylvie is in 7th grade and starting her first year of sch...

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...

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of My First Half Marathon

Nearly 2 years ago my friend, Casey, and I set a goal to run a half marathon.  The plan was to train for a 10K (which we ran in Mankato last fall) and then go back and do the half the following year.  It seemed so far off.  That far off date was last Sunday.  I'm happy to say that our goal was met.  We both ran the half marathon.  13.1 miles without stopping.  But, as all things do, goals evolve.  In the time since that rainy, shivering, post 5-k goal setting ride home I decided that I wanted to run not only a half marathon, but a sub-2 half marathon.  This is the story of what is undeniably a great accomplishment, but sometimes even great accomplishments can be laced with disappointment ( read, not overly inspiring ).  I will warn you that there may be a bit TMI, so if you're turned off by "potty talk" I encourage you to stop reading now. 2015 Mankato Half Marathon Recap In the days leading up to the race I was feeling excite...
