Weekend Highlights

It's Pajama Time! Jamma, jamma, jamma, jamma P.J.! That's a line from one of the books we read at bedtime, and what I said to Beau last night around 7:30 (our pajama time). He gets up and runs in to the bedroom. I thought "wow, that was easy". I followed him into the room and realized he wasn't waiting to get his pajamas on he was looking for a book....the Pajama Time book. I chuckled when I realized what he was doing and sure enough he found the right book and handed it to me with a big smile. The kid never ceases to amaze me.

This weekend was filled with lots of painting. Luke started bright and early on Saturday morning. Beau causes the productivity level to drop significantly so we stayed upstairs and did some painting of our own. He got some finger paints from Santa that we decided to try out.
He starts out so innocent.



A little messier...




And there you have it...nothing innocent here!
As you can see, a bath immediately following was an absolute necessity!

I spent nap time pureeing up some more veggies. We now have a pretty good supply of carrots, cauliflower, spinach, squash, and sweet potato.




And finally...our first trip to FAREWAY! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am to have a grocery store in Stewartville, and the fact that it is a Fareway makes it even better.


Here are some pictures of our newly painted rooms. The blue is much brighter than it looks in the picture. Actually, it's so bright that it glows into the hallway, you kind of have to squint when you walk in the door.

    I love the colors that you picked for your rooms! So pretty!

    We're doing lots of purees around here, too. I'm thinking about making some meat ones soon, but I'm a little nervous for some reason. Have a good week!

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...
