Timehop Tuesday

Here we go! Tuesday!

First up: Maya at a park

 

Next up: Callie!

 

Lastly, me and Chris:

 

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday! You guys, Maya had a hard start to 2017, and her attitude and behavior were ROUGH. But I'm happy to report that she has become SO sweet and pleasant!*

*Most of the time

And she is so stinkin' funny. Today she was "doing my haircut" and made the goofiest faces!

 

Holy moly it makes me giggle every time I look her.

Anyway, we had a pretty good weekend. Yesterday we went to hang out with Boom. She taught Maya how to use the little vacuum (grooming her to be the neat freak that the rest of us are not, I suppose) and we went to the library downtown.

 

At the library, Maya picked out a very large book about the history of the American Girl Dolls. My sisters and I grew up with those dolls. I remember the catalogues and the ordering process. We had so much American Girl gear to go along with our dolls. It was so fun to read the book. So nostolgic. 

 

My mom has one of the dolls and a few of the accessories that the girls play with. Maya found a picture of Samantha's desk that is still at Boom's house.

Callie had dance and then went to Annelise's volleyball game with G-ma. She drew a picture of the game while they were there.

 

Chris brought home some new Lego Batman sets from Costco, so the afternoon was spent putting those together.

 

And I made a Blue Apron pasta meal. Thank goodness for Maya- she is the only one who eats those delicious meals with me.

 

Today's big adventure was having a picnic lunch and playing at a park.

 

And then later when we went for a walk outside, the girls' fashion was ON POINT.

 

Happy first week of March! Spring is in sight...I think. I hope. 

Meanwhile we are all on baby alert. With a due date less than a month away and the baby already measuring over 7 pounds, the girls' little cousin will be here before we know it! SO. EXCITED.

A Picture Update

Hey all! We made it to Friday.

This is a hard part of the school year- the long slow slog until spring break. But I put on my good attitude sweatshirt on Monday and paid attention to the pretty sunrise outside my window.

 

Maya had fun with Boom. That face just gets me every time. 

 

Hanna and Dan invited us over for dinner on Monday night, and the girls had fun playing with Shambles.

 

They hung out with G-ma and Pa on Wednesday and Thursday. 

 

Yesterday was Dr. Seuss' birthday, and Maya had made some Dr. Seuss things in preschool to celebrate.

 

Tonight we are freshly bathed, ate dinner in the basement and looked fierce while watching the women Gophers.

 

I'll leave you with with 2 funny things:

1) A Callie QOTD: She asked about Ash Wednesday after seeing it on her calendar.

Callie: Today is Ash Wednesday.  What is that?
Me: That means it is the start of Lent.  We wait until Easter, when Jesus comes back.
Callie: Wait, what?
Me: When Jesus rose from the dead, remember?
Callie: Like a ZOMBIE?!?!

Oh boy.  I blame her Sunday School teacher of many years (*ahem* CHRIS *ahem*)


2) And also, a crazy Maya video...once again.

Have a great weekend!

Timehop Tuesday

Today is Laura and Craig's 2nd anniversary, which means that 2 years ago we were in Mexico, on the best trip ever.

So my Timehops today are from Mexico.

Callie:

 

Maya:

 

The flower girl dress (Maya likes to wear it backwards):

 

Weekend Wrap-Up

And it is already Sunday!

We are still battling some germ bugs in our house, so we kept things fairly low key.

Callie had a great time at her sleepover with Boom- pizza, Izzy's, playtime, and a trip to the museum. She's a lucky girl!

 

Meanwhile, Maya had a dinner date with Daddy, and then cuddle time with Mommy. Because she got another freaking cold.

 

Yesterday was dance class.

 

And there isn't any photo evidence, but we finally saw Lego Batman. It was a loud, colorful sensory overload of a movie. But the girls seemed to like it ok.

This morning Laura's friends threw her a baby shower! The highlight was seeing video of Craig answering questions about baby. So cute.

 

The rest of the day was pretty chill. Since Chris and Maya started the weekend on a dinner date, Callie and I ended it on a dinner date. At the same place.

 

Maya found Callie's bridesmaid dress from Laura and Craig's wedding (their 2nd anniversary is on Tuesday), but she likes to wear it backwards and doesn't stop moving for pictures.

 

That's about it! I'm trying out adjusting picture sizes on my phone app, so I hope the formatting turns out ok! 

Can you believe it's almost March? I cannot. 

A Picture Update

Hi guys. It has been a short work week, and yet I'm SO tired.

So here are the pictures:

Monday- we were all off school so we went to hang out at Boom's.

 

Tuesday- it was a BEAUTIFUL day. We walked to the library. Without winter coats on.

 

Also, the sunset was awesome. Thanks to Pa for sending me the picture on the left.

 

Wednesday and Thursday- the girls hung out with G-ma and Pa (and Callie had school too).

 

I got a new running shirt in the mail, which is now my favorite.

 

It is such a good reminder for so many things.

Callie is sleeping over at Boom's house tonight so we have Maya to ourselves. She woke up at 5am again, so I'm anticipating EARLY BEDTIME. 

I'll leave you with some Katy Perry karaoke. It's pretty awesome.

43-Months-Old!!!

I'm writing this at 5:30am, up in Maya's dark room. It's my second time up here this morning, because sometimes she likes to wake up super early and play when she should be sleeping.

Like that time last week. When I heard her in the monitor at 3:30am. I went up to her room and she was playing with her trains. Light on. Wide awake. I put her back to bed, and 20 minutes later heard more movement on the monitor. I went up to find her light on and her changed into a leotard. Twenty minutes after that I sent Chris up and he ended up laying on her floor until she finally fell back asleep (and then I had to wake her up at 7 to get ready for school). We found out the next morning she had gone and woken Callie up at 3:30am and eaten a stash of Valentine's candy that Callie had hidden up there. 

You can't make this stuff up.

This little spitfire has made our lives a lot better and a lot more interesting...for 43 months now!

 

 

And we couldn't be more thankful.
