The Wish Fairy

Have you heard of the Wish Fairy? I sure hadn't, and it was a new thing to both Scott and Ava. Apparently our little G heard about the Wish Fairy waaaaay back in Kindergarten, and opted to try out his luck with wishes this week.

On Wednesday morning, he insisted that I stay out of his room, but...that's not realistic. I happened to notice that he had written a very sweet note, and left it, along with some coins ($3 to be exact,) for the Wish Fairy.

"Dear Wish Fairy, Can I please have a Among Us plush? Thank you. Love, Garrett Goers. Here is are coins for you. There are nine. They are real. You can choose the color. Can it be the next time I come u[p]?"

I love that he was so polite and also advised that the coins are real. No fake money here!



He was super, super disappointed that when he came home from his summer program on Wednesday night, and there wasn't anything waiting for him. But, little did he know that he just needed to be patient. Look what showed up on his dresser on Friday!

"Dear Garrett, Sorry it took me so long to get this to you. You can keep the 9 coins! Love, TWF"

I'm not sure how the Wish Fairy knew that cyan is one of G's favorite Among Us colors...smart fairy!


In additional news, Ava is going to get braces later this summer! Well...Invisalign, but still exciting! We've been going to an ortho for four years for annual consultations, and she finally has lost enough baby teeth to proceed. She still has two baby molars, but those bad boys are coming out in a few weeks. And then off she goes to revamping her bite a little bit (her teeth are fairly straight, so this is simply to correct an overbite.)

Ava and I also got our annual eye exams out of the way this week, and we're both getting new glasses. We're going to give Pair Eyewear a chance and see if we like the flexibility to change the toppers and add sunglasses to the base frame via magnets. I'm excited to hopefully be able to wear sunglasses again while driving. It's bright out there!

I took Thursday and Friday off of this week and had a mostly relaxing time before the rest of the family was home for the long holiday weekend. I had an MRI done on Thursday morning, and while I was really nervous for the actual procedure, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. Even better news is that no malignancy was detected (this was a preventative check and will be done every year.) A big, big thank you to my mom for taking me, and helping to calm me down before the MRI.

Scott's been busy working on the finishing touches to/around our new deck. Our new furniture and fire table will arrive this week, so I'm really excited to finally have a chance to sit and enjoy all of Scott's hard work. It looks great!

We're staying in town for this 4th of July, and kicked off the weekend with a happy hour with my parents. Other than that, we'll be lighting some sparklers and hopefully watching fireworks with the neighbors across the street. Should be a great, relaxing weekend! 

Happy Birthday, USA!

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
