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!

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 ...
