Week 49 at Home: Happy Heart Day!

Valentine's Day...a day full of love...what a great way to start the week off on a high note! The kids got some cuddly and yummy goodies, Scott bought me beautiful flowers, and Ava and I made a nice dinner for everyone on Saturday night. It was a wonderful weekend filled with good family time spent together.

A table full of treats...

G left us these two notes on our bedroom door...one about the notes I had been leaving them, and another to celebrate Abraham Lincoln's birthday - ha!

The end result of the daily love notes I left for G...

...and Ava

We also made "Love Lattes" a.k.a. pink hot chocolate - yum!

Rare spotting of these two kiddos playing nicely together...intense Minecraft game!

Wolfie was hanging out on Ava's leg, just watching her play on her phone

We still have part of our Italy Universal Yums box to finish up, and just this week, the Ukraine box showed up...new treats for days!

Thumbs up to snuggle time!

This was a pretty quiet week, so I don't have too much to add. We stayed warm, G had fun at school, Ava enjoyed her long weekend, and now it's back to the weekend...hooray!

Scott is busy painting the laundry room (in case you're interested, it's "White Rain" by Benjamin Moore...so relaxing and pretty), and tomorrow he's hoping to install the white cabinetry in there. Should make it even more fun to do laundry, haha. At least it'll have more storage space and a longer rod to hang clothes to dry. I actually am really excited about that part! I'll post pics when done. But until then...have a wonderful week!

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

Go, Go, Goers!
