A weekend of love...

Ava LOVES going into our closet and pulling out all of my shoes (better the shoes than my dresser...more than once I have come into our bedroom with clothes scattered all over the floor.)  She seems particularly fascinated by our slippers.  She's learned this week to get my slippers and bring them to me, or get Daddy's slippers and bring them to him.  (It's not quite as "Doggy, fetch this!" as it sounds...!)  I got home late from work on Thursday night, and Scott was insistent that Ava bring me my slippers.  Of course, this was one time she just wasn't listening...so I went in to get them, and I found a beautiful bouquet of flowers waiting for me on my dresser!

I'm so impressed that Scott bought them in advance!  When I went grocery shopping yesterday, I couldn't believe the swarm of men in the floral department. :)


We opted to stay in this year for Valentine's Day, so we had a wonderful dinner last night of t-bones, baked potatoes, and strawberry cupcakes.  It was much better than fighting the crowds for a romantic dinner!

Note to Gramma Karen and Grampa Doug:  we will NOT let her do this at your house...!

At some point during the evening last night, Ava decided she wanted to play in our full length curtains.  She had a great time getting twisted up and then un-twisting herself.  Too funny!



 


Ava truly enjoys her bathtime, and lately she's been laying down in the bubbles, even if the bathwater is draining.  Last night, she was singing as the water was going down.  Silly girl!


This morning we are going to enjoy a yummy breakfast of cinnamon rolls and then do some shopping.  And then relaxing...ahhhh...perfect!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Good job on the flowers, Scott! Dylan likes to lay on his tummy in the tub too and pretends to swim. Love Ava rolling up in the curtains. We used to do that in my mom's old drapes. :)

Snuggly Warm

By
It's the time of year to be cozy, so there's nothing better than sitting in front of a warm fire, reading a good book/watching a good show, and enjoying the glow of the Christmas tree. Even Pria thinks so! Pria was avoiding the vacuum earlier this week...she loves to be on Ava's bed! Getting cozy inside of a little fortress After a fairly busy week at school, work, and extracurricular activities, we all enjoyed a night at home on Friday. G and I built gingerbread houses (they both look a little sad, but we had fun), and then we all played Tractoropoly for a few hours. Turns out that G was stockpiling money, so we need to figure out his secret on how to save! Love Ava's face and hand placement here And we can't forget all of the treats that George brought this week! Sunday, December 10 "Can you get a bullseye?" Monday, December 11 "I'm brining Christmas Cheer, by singing loud for everyone to hear!" Tuesday, December 12 "Don't be the o

Barbie & George

By
We had a fun week to wrap up November. Last Saturday, Scott and I enjoyed a nice dinner out, and then a spontaneous trip to Home Depot...and we got some new exterior Christmas décor! But more important was the time spent together. Plus, it started to snow, so the view from the restaurant was beautiful (but the drive home was a little sketchy.) On Tuesday night, Ava and I headed out to the Mall of America to experience the Malibu Barbie Café. We had a blast exploring the area, eating the yummy food, and then shopping for a bit. It was a wonderful night evening spent together. Even the drinks were pretty! My Avocado Toast & salad Ava's Paradise Pancakes On Friday night, my book club gathered for our holiday party and it was a blast! We had such a good time chatting, eating, drinking, and finished off the night with a book exchange. I cherish and deeply appreciate the friendships that have developed with my neighbors because of this book club. And to really kick off the holiday se

26 Hours in a Day

By
Just yesterday morning, I was thinking to myself that I could really use a few more hours each day.  We don't sleep a whole lot, both work long hours at our jobs, try to play with Ava as much as we can at night and on the weekends, and then we have to do all of the adult-stuff...paying bills, grocery shopping, cleaning, work on side jobs, house projects, etc.  If there were only 26 hours in a day, we could: *Sleep just an extra 30 minutes - we need it since the dogs have been waking us up each weekend day at 5:30am.  What could be SO urgent that they need to get us up then?!?  You'd think we only feed them once a week, or something. *Spend an extra hour with Ava...we could go to the park every night, take an extra long bath, read a few extra stories, and just enjoy the giggles and chattiness. *Take 30 minutes to talk to each other about how things are going.  With Scott leaving for work each day before 5am, and then all of the craziness that ensues when I get home at nigh
