Week 19 at Home: Ho Hum

This was a week that flew by and I have no idea what we did. I mean, the kids went to the Y programs three days, and Scott and I worked all five days, but...what did we actually do?? Maybe that's okay that I don't remember? Or, maybe it means that all of our days are beginning to meld together, lol.

I do know that I went on a really long walk and talk with a friend one night this week. And I also know that G has done a fabulous job of checking off all of his "daily tasks" that I assign to him. And I guess I do know that Ava built a super cute house in Roblox. And we all know that poor Scott is not dealing well with working outside in this hot, humid weather. We're hoping for a little bit of a break in the heat this coming week, so he can sleep better at night.

I can't believe that it's August next week. On this coming Thursday, we'll find out what the official state decision is for the start of the school year. Will we go hybrid? In person? Online? I mean, I know what WE are doing, but it'll be interesting to see what the overall decision is at the state level. I just heard that the Minneapolis school district has decided to go all online...and they have a pretty big influence on what other districts do. So...we'll see.

When we don't have an interesting week, I don't have any interesting pics to share, haha!

G and I had some early morning snuggles...Puppy was there, too, of course!

Ava painted this cute little watermelon plate at the Y program, and then she refused to be in a pic. So, G is standing in as her proxy, ha!

So, yep, that's it for this week's post! Nothing exciting to share. Hoping for a really good week, with only positive news coming our way.

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

26 Hours in a Day

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

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

Go, Go, Goers!
