Sunshine

This weather has been awesome!  We have been trying to take advantage before tomorrow's rain and Tuesday's snow.

 B saw this on a YouTube video and couldn't wait to try it for herself!

New iPad


Haven't quite figured out this blogger thing on the new iPad, but having a keyboard is definitely key.  As many of you know, I've started the year that I've affectionately dubbed "my quarter-life crisis."  Maybe 1/3 life crisis is more appropriate. . . . . . .Anyways, I want this year to be about saying yes, having fun, taking reasonable risks (such as with my hair) and just going for it.  Cheers!

Momma's day off. . . .

I always try to squeeze a little bit of fun into my day off. . .here's how today has played out.

Get up at 615 - those darn kids wake up early!  Get them dressed, start some laundry, and drop both kiddos at school.  Try to go to Call Hall for milk and eggs, but find it closed.  Head over to Dillons to pick up the remainder of my groceries.  Run home to put them away.  Swing by target to check out their 90% off christmas clearance.  Stop at Westside Market for fresh apples, then the library to pick up some books on hold.  After the chores it was time for some fun - I met up with a friend for brunch at the Chef, got a super luxurious facial at Gaia, then rushed to feed Leo his "lunch."  Of course he wasn't very interested in milk, but he was devastated when I left to meet Liz for some coffee.  After a coffee date spent catching up, time to head home to finish up the laundry, exercise, put on my pj's, and make broccoli cheese soup for dinner.  I'm typing this as Fel is picking up the kids.  Full day!
