Good Times...Right?

Ava had spring break this week, and while we didn't go anywhere exciting as a family, she had a ton of fun each day at SAC.  We loved hearing about all of the fun things that she did during her daily adventures.  Needless to say, I think she had more fun that anyone else did this past week!
  • Monday: arcade/mini golf/bumper cars/batting cages
  • Tuesday: bowling
  • Wednesday: gymnastics
  • Thursday: Good Times Park (indoor playground)
  • Friday: Como Zoo (the highlight for Ava was seeing a spider monkey and a zebra both pee...sigh)
Even with all of that fun, she is excited to get back to school tomorrow and have her computer class, along with library, music, PE, etc. I'm just excited not to have to pack her a lunch each day.  That's one of those things where it takes less than 10 minutes, but I dread doing it.  Thank goodness for hot lunch at school!

I'm not sure if this is a sad giraffe, or a really angry one...
 Actually, the more I look at it, the more I think she's trying to give the death stare. Yikes.


In the meantime, G was off biting a little girl at daycare this week.  Fun for him probably, but not so much fun for the little one who has a bruised arm.  Ugh.  Her mom is a teacher, so she understands the whole biting thing, but I feel horrible!  I did poke around his mouth a little bit yesterday, and both of his first molars are popping through on the top, so I'm sure that's part of what's causing the biting. Plus, he's been trying to put his entire fist in his mouth to chew on it so I'm thinking that they are bothering him quite a bit.

Oh!  Scott did have an exciting part to his week.  He's been wanting a popcorn machine forever (like, seriously, forever) and he finally bought one.  It was delivered on Friday, and he and Ava enjoyed some really tasty popcorn on Friday night.  My only concern was that we find a permanent home for it outside of the kitchen...so, it will be a great addition to our family room/bar in the basement (once it's finished.)  Yay!


Now, it's time to make some coffee, breakfast, and spend some time with the fam!

Snuggly Warm

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

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

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
