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!

Grandparents, Birthdays, and Sprinklers, Oh MY!

What a whirlwind week we've had...I was trying to get everything wrapped up at work so I could take my 5-day "furlough" from last Wednesday, through tomorrow. Wednesday was my first day at home, so Ava and I had a ton of "fun" getting everything ready for the upcoming activities. I did have a wonderful massage, so that started my vacation off very well... Gramma Karen and Grampa Doug drove in from KC on Wednesday afternoon. We had a great evening catching up, and enjoying the nice weather (until the downpour that happened right as they were leaving our house!) On Thursday, Scott, Dad, Mom, and I drove down to Cannon Falls and Rochester to check out the areas for potential future homes/land for us. At some point, we'd like to move south of the Cities. Ava was a very good little girl, especially considering that she was stuck in a car for most of her FIRST BIRTHDAY!!! We went to Applebee's for lunch, and the wait staff came out singing to someone else...I...

Goodbye Sweet Spanky

This is a post that I'm not very excited to write.  As you probably know, our oldest dog, Spanky, had struggled with health issues (ear infections, seizures) his whole life, and recently, his health had severely deteriorated.  He hadn't been eating, his ear infection was so severe his face was swollen, he had a hard time getting up the stairs, and he very rarely wanted to play.  Last week we got a few tail wags from him, and he ate a few bowls of food, but it was a 50-50 chance that he would actually keep the food down. On Thursday, we made the decision that if he wasn't any better by this weekend, we were going to put him down.  I know Scott didn't want to make that decision as Spanky was a very special dog to him - he truly was his little buddy, following him around everywhere, wanting to be wherever Scott was, and howling his sadness whenever Scott would leave him. Throughout Friday night, it became clear that Spanky wasn't going to have a miraculous recovery...

The Early Bird

I realized that I skipped a chunk of pictures that I wanted to share...things were super busy last weekend, so we'll blame my lapse of memory on that! The focus was so much on Ava's party, that I neglected to share the family birthday photos, too. Two weeks ago, we invited all of the grandparents over for a wonderful dinner of smoked prime rib (and other yummy sides), and then topped it off with a raspberry mojito birthday cake for the newly minted eight-year-old. We like to experiment with different birthday cake flavors for her birthday, and this one was MUCH better than the watermelon cake from last year (gross-gross-gross!)      Saying cheese with Grandpa Doug! G and I took a break from the present pics to take some selfies ;) Even his cars made an appearance! Super excited to be receiving an aquascope! And no birthday is complete without something from American Girl - this time is was a pizza party set - awesome! We have also...
