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!

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

State Fair 2023

The end of summer is officially here (although, not by calendar standards, as G likes to point out.) The Minnesota State Fair 2023 kicked off on Thursday, and we were there to cheer on the RHSMB. Per tradition, they were the first band in the parade on the first day - what an honor! We're so used to long parades, that when the whole thing was past us in less than 15 minutes, it was a little shocking. Due to copyright issues, I can't post any video of the band online, but trust me, they were great! We ate the perfect amount of fair food that we weren't stuffed, and since it was opening day, it was a little less crowded than the weekends (which was a great thing for us.) G did so well this year, and didn't complain or beg for anything. Now that he's older, it's much easier to bring him places like this, and we can all enjoy it. We even managed to meet up with my friend Emilie who was there for a work event. It was great to catch up for a few minutes, and take a br
