Go Vikes...?

By
I picked up the cutest little Minnesota Vikings outfit for Ava at a garage sale this past week. Now, we don't follow football too much, but when I realized today was the Vike's home opener, I thought, "Perfect! What a great day for her to wear it!" But, apparently, not so perfect - the Vikings lost against the Colts. You can see Ava's displeasure below...

Oh well! Maybe she won't be a football fan after all...

We went through the Parade of Homes today, and Ava didn't do horribly, but she has been fussy all afternoon, so we're hoping she's not sick. I'm sure it's because she doesn't want her Mommy to go back to work tomorrow...!

Work has been really busy for me, which is good, but I still look forward to leaving at 4:15pm each day to pick up Ava from daycare. She had a really good time at daycare last week, and she's exhausted each evening, so the other kids must be wearing her out...works for us! :)

Something new...Ava flipped over from her belly to her back the other morning. Scott was in the room with her, and I was watching on the monitor - I think it surprised all 3 of us! And she also learned to turn her head to the side when she's on her belly, so she isn't laying face-down in the mattress. I'm not crazy about her being on her tummy at all to sleep, but it seems that's what she prefers. I'd much rather have her sleep on her back! I got a cute little pic of her snoozing yesterday morning, snoring away...

Have a great week!

Dylan said to tell Ava that there are cute Packer cheerleader outfits at the Target in Hudson!

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
