Our Little Grad!

By
The madness is coming to an end! Ava did her final 5th grade presentation this past week, and G graduated from K-Prep on Thursday. It's hard to believe that we are going to be fully done with daycare in a few months, and we'll have an elementary AND middle schooler on our hands. I mentioned to Scott that we're going to have TWO kids with homework next year...argh!

G got a lovely, sparkly feather (painted on his arm) and a new horse named Sweetfoot (??) on Tuesday night - I love our Tuesday nights at Carbone's!



Ava did a great job for her presentation on "Just One More Time" (a collection of all of the things she wished she could do just one more time at Red Pine before leaving.) She and a classmate also did a presentation on Christopher Columbus. My crazy kid decided to sit on the floor for the 2nd half of the presentation...


The 5th graders all paint a tile that is permanently posted at Red Pine. Ava (look at those muscles!) showed me where hers is...right in the front entryway!



Getting ready for K-Prep graduation!



The kids were supposed to take their certification/diploma and shake Hannah's hand...G forgot about that last part! Haha!


The kids had so much fun throwing their hats in the air!



G and Ben call each other "brothers" all of the time...but even G knows it would be a bad idea if they were in the same classroom next year. They are T-R-O-U-B-L-E when they are together!




This just made me laugh...we always get reports on how G did during the day. Last week he went through a rough patch, and his teacher just wrote "OMG" for how G was feeling during the day!


G was invited to a super fun birthday party at a gym...he was able to try rock climbing for the first time and he loved it!!


Ava's last day of 5th grade is only three days away...hard to believe how quickly this year flew by!

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
