This winter weather is insane. If it’s not really, really cold, it’s snowing. And vice versa. Scott and I decided that we’ve gotten too used to the mild winters that we’ve had over the last several years, so the last few weeks of this real winter stuff is extra hard to take! I did end up working from home on Thursday, but the kids had their places that they were supposed to go, so it was nice and quiet...and I was able to stay out of the commuting traffic.
Scott’s been working extra hard this week with all of the extra plowing he’s been doing. Poor guy went to bed at 7 on Friday night...he looked absolutely exhausted. But he got some really good sleep that night, which is rare for him. I wish we could re-set his sleeping patterns, so he could get back to normal hours.
My mom and I went to see Aquaman on Tuesday (in the midst of a snowstorm)...such a good movie and I love our theater in town. I’m so glad that we can spend time like that on a regular basis!
The next night was super crazy...we had Ava’s last elementary conferences. She is doing fantastic...her teacher has no concerns with her going to middle school next year...plus he noted that she has a quiet confidence about her, and that she’s friends with everyone. We’re excited to see what the next phase of her education will hold!
Once that conference wrapped up, I did a little shopping at the onsite book fair and visited with some neighbors who were also there. And then...I had to register my baby for kindergarten! That’s right, little G is ready to enter the school system next year. *sniffle* It’s a great thing, but man, it makes me a little sad... After a successful night of school visits, we headed out to dinner as a family, and celebrated the accomplishments of the day.

Little G lost about 10 pounds of hair on Friday night...what a mop he had! We then picked up pizza for the rest of the family and took it easy (this is where Scott went to bed at 7, after dinner!)
Look, the hair is out of his eyes now!
Saturday night was super fun! We utilized the YMCA “parents night out” program, and dropped both kids off for several hours of play and dinner...they had a good time, although I’m pretty sure Ava was the oldest kid there. But, she made a new friend who is hoping to see her again, so that’s pretty cool! G had a blast, as well. And what did we do? We went out for an early Valentine’s dinner with my parents! It was so great to have adult conversation with them, and to be able to truly focus on enjoying our time together. We’re going to make this a regular thing, now that we know the Y thing works out so well.
After we had picked up the kids last night, and had just gotten home, I got a text from a friend who was looking to get out of the house for a bit. So after we got the kids tucked into bed, I headed back out to have a drink with her. We both ran into other people we knew while we were out...it’s a small world!
It’s snowing today, and Ava is supposed to have her makeup baton class from a few weeks ago when the polar vortex caused rehearsal to be cancelled. I thought it would be fun to drop her off, have a Bloody Mary at the bar next to the baton studio, and then she and I could have a mom/daughter lunch date after she’s done with rehearsal. I’m hoping the weather doesn’t get much worse so we can stick with that plan!
