Movie Madness

It has been a week of movies!  Ava has seen 4 new movies this week, and went to the Saints game...lucky girl!  She watched a movie at Summer Power (last week at the school, next week she moves to the YMCA location to finish out the summer) and then we had family movie night on Friday.  I had recorded Disney's Descendants, and two out of the four of us enjoyed it.  The other two (hint: male) were both sleeping...one in his crib, the other on the family room floor.  Oh well, we girls liked it!

Totally enthralled with Descendants...check out that popcorn machine light in the back!




Ava and I went to the movie theater to watch Shaun the Sheep this morning.  The only thing I struggled with was what to eat?  We had breakfast already, and the movie was at 10am.  Too early for popcorn?  Neither of us were very hungry, so we both sipped on some Gatorades...although, my little movie date had mentioned mini-donuts initially...  In any case, the movie was SO cute!  We had watched Shaun the Sheep for years on Netflix, so it was fun to see a new movie featuring our favorite sheep and dog.  And farmer. Oh that silly, silly farmer!



I took Friday morning off and brought G to the Minnesota Zoo for his Toddler Time class (Animal Dads.)  He had absolutely no interest in the class, but loved playing with the daubers.  I think next year, when he's a bit older, he'll enjoy the classes a bit more.

We're getting him ready to play Bingo with us when he gets older...
 

He also started his first week at his new daycare.  The first day he did great, and then he was sad off and on for the rest of the week.  His teachers did a wonderful job distracting him, and keeping him focused on the fun things in his new classroom.  He also picked up pinkeye, which is a bummer.  Scott took him to the clinic this morning, and he's on medication, so hopefully it'll clear up quickly.  And I really hope that none of the rest of us pick it up!

This is a super cute pic from earlier this summer with the little boy next door!  He's just 7 months older than G, so hopefully they'll play together well over the years!


Sibling Construction...which later became Sibling Deconstruction.  Mega Blocks were flying everywhere!


Scott and I got our new phones, and I'm absolutely in love with having a piece of technology that works. Consistently.  And quickly!  My biggest concern was porting over all of the pictures, texts, contacts, etc., and Motorola made it painless...they have a great app which did it in no time!  Welcome to 2012, Dee...

Off to wrap up some more household projects!  We got our new steam cleaner yesterday, and I had so much "fun" cleaning the patio door tracks, as well as steam cleaning the bathroom floors.  At least it looks good!

Goodbye Sweet Spanky

This is a post that I'm not very excited to write.  As you probably know, our oldest dog, Spanky, had struggled with health issues (ear infections, seizures) his whole life, and recently, his health had severely deteriorated.  He hadn't been eating, his ear infection was so severe his face was swollen, he had a hard time getting up the stairs, and he very rarely wanted to play.  Last week we got a few tail wags from him, and he ate a few bowls of food, but it was a 50-50 chance that he would actually keep the food down. On Thursday, we made the decision that if he wasn't any better by this weekend, we were going to put him down.  I know Scott didn't want to make that decision as Spanky was a very special dog to him - he truly was his little buddy, following him around everywhere, wanting to be wherever Scott was, and howling his sadness whenever Scott would leave him. Throughout Friday night, it became clear that Spanky wasn't going to have a miraculous recovery...

Grandparents, Birthdays, and Sprinklers, Oh MY!

What a whirlwind week we've had...I was trying to get everything wrapped up at work so I could take my 5-day "furlough" from last Wednesday, through tomorrow. Wednesday was my first day at home, so Ava and I had a ton of "fun" getting everything ready for the upcoming activities. I did have a wonderful massage, so that started my vacation off very well... Gramma Karen and Grampa Doug drove in from KC on Wednesday afternoon. We had a great evening catching up, and enjoying the nice weather (until the downpour that happened right as they were leaving our house!) On Thursday, Scott, Dad, Mom, and I drove down to Cannon Falls and Rochester to check out the areas for potential future homes/land for us. At some point, we'd like to move south of the Cities. Ava was a very good little girl, especially considering that she was stuck in a car for most of her FIRST BIRTHDAY!!! We went to Applebee's for lunch, and the wait staff came out singing to someone else...I...

We're Baaaaack!

Wow, I can't believe it's been almost 3 weeks since I've posted anything.  But, let's be honest - it's been a busy few weeks.  Clearly, I wasn't busy taking photos, as I only have 3 to show on this post.  Let's recap what's been going on in the Goers' household: New siding for our house...!  This is a project that we've been talking about doing for years, and we finally found someone that had the right product and the right price.  Our house is no longer a light peach color, it's Tuscan Clay with white accents.  It looks so shiny and fresh!  Now, we just need to work on our monster of a garage... I was in Palm Springs for eight, verrrrrry loooooong days.  I was staffing a travel program for one of my favorite clients, so at least I liked who I was supporting while there.  I hadn't traveled for work since May 2007, and honestly, I don't miss it.  I guess everything changes once you have a kid.  I missed Ava like crazy, and kept...
