1. Shelby's Christmas Party
It is that time of year again and of course the party was as fabulous as usual. I had so much fun catching up with these ladies. Bri came in town as a last minute surprise. It was so great to see her AND she brought me my own special Starbucks. These two sisters have really taken me in and helped me survive some of the shitty parts of life. It was a great night. Oh -- AND though I had tons of gummy shots and martinis I was still able to make pancakes for the boys this morning. WHAT??!!! (yes--clearly I am impressed with myself)
2. Just hanging out
Since we don't really have a designated area for Jack to be safe and explore I usually just follow him around. This weekend I did a LOT of sitting and playing with Jackers. I must admit -- it is pretty fun.
That is what Cameron said about this selfie that we took. Hahaha. I'll take it.
The past few weeks the boys have been absolutely insane. I am not entirely sure what is going on but holy hell it has been loud. Very loud. If I am honest I think that annoying is also a word that will fit into this description. The boys are constant. Constant. I am not sure what was going on in my head on Saturday but it was all just getting to me. Around 3pm Mike took the boys outside to play football. I had 40 minutes of silence to fold laundry and do dishes. It was absolutely amazing. I enjoyed every bit of that silence and when they all came tumbling back inside I was refreshed. Grateful that Mike can gauge my tension and help calm me down.
5. Date night - Paint Night
My painting was so terrible on Thursday night that I was actually laughing out loud. The next morning I was talking to my patient who is an art teacher and she said that at least I would pass 6th grade art. :) Regardless of all of that -- spending a few hours and unwinding with Mike will always make me happy. That day he also purchased two growlers from Bier that we enjoyed. Yum.
Owen has the best memory I know so when he said that it was his turn to put the angel on this year...I believed him. As the moment to top the tree grew closer I started questioning. You could sort of tell that he was trying to pull one over on us. As he was putting the angel on Mike and I both questioned out loud if it was actually his turn and so I decided to pull out our 2014 photo book. I couldn't easily find the picture but once the angel was up Owen turned, walked away, and said, "Well it's too late now." That little stinker tricked us.
7. I had less popcorn today
My mother in law bought us a tin of popcorn from Garrett's. Holy hell this is my own version of crack. Today I ate significantly less than yesterday. Goal for tomorrow -- to not even start.
8. We sold some stuff
The amount of "things" that we have is unbelievable. I feel like our house is filled to the brim. Yesterday someone came over and took a ton of clothes off our hands and then today someone came and took some barware that we don't use. I hope to keep reducing so that way our house gets settled down a bit and I don't feel like we live in a thrift shop.
**Big shout out to Mike who organized and took on the task of the kitchen -- so grateful.**
