Now, let me tell you, I’ve had this post ready to go practically all week, and while I missed the link up, I’m still going to go ahead and post it.
Let’s get to it!
Two Sundays ago Jon’s partner mentioned that he and his wife were heading out of town for the day and asked if we would be interested in using their pool since it was so beautiful outside. Our neighbors were invited, too! Given that it was such a warm October day and the fact that their pool is heated we took them up on the offer! My neighbor Amy and I sat and caught up while Jon swam with the kids. #momhack…bring a husband to do the work. LOL! 😉
I still can’t believe the kids were swimming in a pool, in Michigan and in October!
That same day Jane found another worm. This girl and her worms…
The kids’ school pictures came back. I regret not having Henry in a collared shirt, but I was out of options and we seriously lack clothing stores around these parts so this is what we went with.
They sure are adorable though! 🙂
Our back room in coming along. I ended up ordering two different sizes of the same rug design. If this space had been a room/office by itself I probably would have chosen the smaller rug. But given the fact that the slider leads out to the lake and the door next to the slider leads out to the garage, I opted for a larger rug to contain any future scratches, spills, dirt and crumbs.
I love, love, love this space so much and I told Jon if we were to ever move that I’m taking the room with us!
Jane and I attended yet another story time at the library…
Another ride on Sandy…
We made a trip to a local coffee shop and on the way Eliza thought it necessary to draw cat faces with marker on herself, as well as on her sister.
Never. A. Dull. Moment.
Eliza and I took part in a Witch Bike Ride in our little town and had the best time. We’re already planning for next year. We’ll definitely simplify our outfits and decorations so that the don’t fall apart like they did this year.
Witch Bike Ride Photo Dump…
We ended up riding our bikes to Henry’s soccer game and we were aaaaaalmost there when part of Eliza’s costume got stuck in the wheel of her bike and then we moved like molasses with only yards to go…
Parenting: The epitome of what it means to be patient.
Cat snuggles took place at one point…
I attempted to get pumpkin pajama pictures of the kids and this is how Jane arrived.
Definitely not a pumpkin. Haha!
I somehow coerced Jane into her pumpkin pajamas by way of food bribery. 😉
It worked.
Tada!
My Very Late “Hello Monday” blog post! Phew! It’s not perfect, but I did it!
Why, hello there, Monday! Somehow it was just Friday. I know lots of you Mamas can relate to the chaos that is May – like, my brain is on overtime. We have 13 days of school left here in Michigan, but once Memorial Day weekend rolls around, our commitments quickly dissolve into only a few…
Hello, Monday! You arrived far too fast! I’m joining in on the Monday fun and linking up with My Glittery Heart, The Other Side of the Road and The Sirois Family for Hello Monday. This past week we’ve been getting into the swing of things with all-things-school and extra-curricular activities and, boy, it’s all contributed…
Hello Monday! It’s nice to see you! Last week was full of fun and lots of happy days! MONDAY On Monday we hosted some friends for a little playdate. I informed Jane multiple times that she wouldn’t be swimming with the big kids as it would be too difficult for her to be out there…
It’s Monday again and boy-oh-boy, I’ve got a Hello Monday chock-full of lots of Halloween happiness! I’ll warn you though – this post includes a million pictures of my kids, so prepare yourselves. 😉 Two Fridays ago we visited our local haunted trail. The city puts it on and this year was the best yet!…
Hello Monday! Our week of our Spring Break Staycation went well and the kids seemed to be okay with being low-key. However, I must admit that by Friday afternoon, the kiddos were feeling…well… a bit bored. I felt bad going into Saturday, especially after a couple of extra promised activities didn’t exactly pan out. I…
It’s Moooooonday and I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday! We started off our weekend by dropping Henry and Eliza off at school and then we were off to get some landscaping done! First up, rocks. We rented a trailer and headed over to a landscaping business to pick out rocks. Now,…
