Week 20 at Home: Daytime Tooth Fairy?

We tested a theory this week...will the Tooth Fairy drop by during the day if no one is in the part of the house where a baby tooth is waiting to be picked up? G and I talked about it after he pulled his own tooth out on Thursday morning. I explained to him that even though he and Ava were at the Y programs that day, I was home, and I didn't think the Tooth Fairy would stop by. But, we decided to give it a shot, and left the tooth in G's tooth box...and when G came home that night, he checked and there was a gold coin waiting for him. Whaaaaaat?? I certainly didn't hear the Tooth Fairy come in while I was working, but to be fair, I was in meetings for a big chunk of the day and had my headphones on...an elephant could've wandered by and I wouldn't have noticed!


Ava had a great week, G had a good week, Scott had a hot week, and I had a busy week. I was really happy to see the weekend start. We kicked it off with drinks on the deck, Air Fryer Friday for our meal, and then wrapped it up with a bonfire and s'mores with neighbors on Friday night. The temp outside was perfect...not too hot, not too cold, and not too buggy...until the bugs came out, lol. Oh well!

The rest of the weekend has been pretty low key...G and I went shopping at Target, and Ava helped me clean the house (a bit.) Ava had fun trying a new hairstyle - two high ponies, twisted into buns, so it looks like she has Mickey Mouse ears. Pretty cute!

Looking forward to a relaxing end of the weekend, and a little celebration for the neighbor who is turning 5!! Fun times, for sure!

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

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
