Crawling!

What a fun week we've had!  Lots of stuff going on at work, around the house, and with the kids.  Ava's last day of school is this coming Wednesday, so last Thursday, four of the eight Kindergarten classes presented the Kindergarten Program (the other four classes were scheduled for another time - I can't imagine what it would be like to have all of the 150 squirmy, excited Kindergarteners on one stage...all at the same time. Yikes!)

Not only was Thursday Ava's concert day, but it was also her day to bring birthday treats to school (the summer birthdays have been treating the class over the last few weeks.)  So, of course what would happen on Thursday morning?  Ava woke up feeling a little under the weather.  We watched her closely and decided to send her to school, hoping that she would last through the day.  And she did!  She was back to her normal self by Thursday night...thank goodness for short lived sickness.  She was excited to be the Birthday Girl on Thursday, and she was thrilled to be on stage, performing all of the songs they've been working on.  Check it out here!

Ava is looking forward to her last day of school, as well as hanging out with Sheila and all of the other kids at daycare this summer.  When Ava came in with me to pick up G on Thursday afternoon, right away Sheila said, "Wow, she looks like Dad."  She sure does!  If she had dark hair and dark eyes, she'd be a mini-Scott!

Ready for the concert!




Ava and Ms. Meister (her teacher)


G had a big week, too...he crawled for the first time!  He's been rocking on all fours for a while, and then he would belly flop, and kick all appendages around...but the only way that works to propel yourself forward is if you're in water.  And he was on carpet, so...not so much.  But, he finally pieced it together, and now he can move!  It's certainly not fluid or fast, but he's got the basic skills down.  And now I'm realizing how much bigger this house is to baby-proof!  He and Darla had a little meeting while he was crawling around our room.  Watch it here!

We also made it through carrots and squash, so we're expanding beyond the green veggies.  Plus, we've now added cereal with cinnamon to the menu for breakfast, and he seems happy-ish about that.  I don't think anyone could be happy-happy about rice cereal, but at least we've made it less bland.

Carrots!


A little computer time to start off a Saturday morning...


Look at me go!





Taking a break...


Now that the rain has finally stopped, Scott's going to be able to get started on our retaining wall in our backyard.  Sod will be put in next weekend, assuming that the grading of the yards will be completed.  It is going to be SO nice to have a real yard again!  I'll need to take before/after pics to show the progress.

Today should be a great day...the sun is shining, both kids are smiling and happy, and Scott made bacon.  What else could we want? ;)  Happy Day!

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
