Weekend Recap
We had a fantastic weekend!
No traveling.
Time spent just as a family.
School project completed.
Lots of tissues (we are sick)
A trip to a local festival.
Met up with friends at the festival.
Our 5 year old rented a movie with her own money.
We ate Pie.
Drank lots of coffee.
Painted pine cones.
Bought a vacuum.
Our silly little lady walked around the house more and more.
She seems to be getting the hang of it.
Still a little wobbly though.
She loves playing peek a boo.
She jabs at the keys when I'm on the computer.
She has lots to say, I guess.

Monday's can be hard.
So today I ate apple pie with ice cream for breakfast.
Don't judge.
I won't judge you if you do the same thing at some point.

What do you do to get through long, hard days?

MONDAYS

Mondays tend to me hard. I’m tired. It’s the start of another week (or the continuation of one that didn’t come to an end yet). Usually, I can’t find things…backpacks, shoes, clothes, coats, etc. I’m in a bad mood on Monday’s. They just get the best of me. (yea, I know, awful way to start the week). Today is Monday. I decided I wouldn’t let today get the best of me. The first thing we did was get up before the sun was shining to take Ben to work (1 car syndrome). Instead of stumbling through our routine when I got home, pouring cereal and not thinking twice, I made chocolate pancakes. YUMMY! (It’s one of Emma’s favorites and I don’t hate them either.)
I’m happy with how today started because it usually isn’t smooth. I’m sure there will be moments of crabbiness and I’ll probably even institute a naptime, but all in all I’m pleased with how today began.

Emma turns 5!
