Who's This 70's Man?

Usually I focus on the kids in my blog posts, but today, I'd like to take a look at Scott's facial hair. He usually has a full beard, but the other day he decided he was tired of it tickling his mouth when he ate or drank anything. In the past, he has surprised us with going fully clean-shaven (I don't think any of us like that), but this time, he decided to jazz it up a bit, and shaved it down to some really long sideburns and a 70's 'stache. For some crazy reason, we all think the look works for him. What do you think?


Now, about those kids...there's not much that's new. Ava completed her last baton class for the season on Tuesday, and while we thought she was done for a while, it turns out that another girl in the class wants to do a duet, and Ava volunteered to do that with her. We're just waiting on getting the info from the other girl to determine when they can start practicing. Even better...Ava made a comment that she'd like to be friends with this girl, so I think that's great! Since Ava has been at home for the full school year, she hasn't had much of a chance to meet new friends, so if she meets someone she wants to hang out with, we will jump on that chance.

Ava was snuggled into a blanket on a chilly day this week


G and I had a normal week...nothing too exciting to mention. We're right in the middle of a long weekend, which we all needed. My parents came over for most of the day on Saturday, so it was great to spend that time with them. My dad and Scott worked on the 2nd deck, and my mom and I organized and went through my clothes. I feel about 50 lbs lighter (from clothes being taken out of the closet) and I think my mom took about 20 lbs of those clothes home to her closet! It's always good to pass clothes on so someone else can love them, too.

So glad we still have a few days left in the weekend. Happy Memorial Day!

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
