You know what?

These are a few of my favorite things

Snow Morning, yay!

As a parent, I really dislike snow days, unless it is due to a huge snowstorm when even Kevin can’t get to work. But snow mornings? Snow mornings I love!! Snow mornings are when schools open two hours late. It means that even though Brian woke me up really early, I could crash on the […]

Snow!

The kids and I spent almost two hours outside playing in the snow after Max came home from school. Building a snowman is surprisingly difficult. Then we came inside for hot chocolate and feety pajamas. YAY!*\ *This is totally the sanitized version. The real version is that Max clomped around the house yelling for me […]

YAY for professionals!\ After I showed my bathroom to Brian, he exclaimed, “Let’s go see my bathroom,” and ran off. But, erm… Kevin […]

No more whining

My husband is home, yay!\ The office now has closet doors (that match! Way to go above and beyond, contractor!) and it’s time to pick a paint color, yay!\ I FINALLY saw some awesome tv tonight, yay!\ Potty-training hasn’t been nearly as horrible as I remember, yay!\ It’s Friday, yay!

Whiny me.

Construction Day One

Today wasn’t all that bad. The guys showed up about 9:30 and stayed until after 5. They framed the half of the office and bathroom that needed it. Sadly, this will take about 9 inches away from the office since one wall was only a concrete slab. Pout. I love me some square footage. We […]
