Weekend Wrap-Up: The Super Bowl Edition

Hi all!

To be clear, I could care less about the Super Bowl. But I figure I should at least mention that it is in our hometown, just for history’s sake. And since it is the coldest Super Bowl on record, the chance of it ever coming back here is probably pretty slim.  And while my younger and cooler sisters are taking advantage of all of the downtown craziness by chilling in fur coats in an igloo (true story), here we are at home in our jammies.


Anyway, yesterday’s big event was our little buddy Caleb’s 4th birthday party at a bowling alley!




As you can see, the girls had a blast. And we were in a far away suburb of one of my dear friends, Jillian, who I don’t get to see often. SoI texted her and she stopped by! 


Today has been chill. Chilly, actually.


Luna has gotten so spoiled at our house. But she is still a tad bit psycho other places, like the pet store. But we finally got her a name tag!


Anyway. Our plan for the evening is to watch the Puppy Bowl and then the Super Bowl (commercials).

Here are my pictures of the day for February 3rd (Heart) and February 4th (Shadow).


Boom found a baby picture of herself, so I found some baby pictures of the three grand babies (ranging from 2 months to 9 months).


Have a great week!

A Picture Update

This crazy super blue blood moon (or whatever it was) week was exhausting! Here’s what I got and it isn’t much commentary.

Monday: Boom’s House!


Tuesday: Kindergarten Open House (what?!?!?!)


Wednesday/Thursday: G-ma and Pa’se House + Bocce and dinner with Auntie Cat!




Stoplight Sunrays:


Thank goodness January’s over. To celebrate, I’m participating in a February photo of the day challenge on Instagram. I’ll post them here too...just not daily. Here’s the daily challenge I’m using:


My first two pictures: 1. Dinner and 2. Red


I’ll leave you with Maya’s super hero alterego named Kin-Yan-Yan.





And good luck to all Twin Citizens this weekend as they endure all of the Super Bowl craziness. It will be fun to see our city represented, but holy moly it’s gonna be a little nuts and I plan to stay as far away as possible.

Happy Tuesday! These Timehops are all about Cal!

First up: Callie’s lovely bridge at dance class.

Lastly, the sweet goofy face.

Weekend Wrap-Up

Hello! We had a pretty chill weekend. Yesterday was spent at Target, home, dance, a little bit at G-ma and Pa’s and outside in the snow.




Today was spent at Boom’s with Lucy.


Today Luna earned herself a new crate by managing to break out of her old one while we were away this morning. Thankfully our bedroom door had been shut so she didn’t get to the rest of the house. She did a number on our room. Stinker!


And then Jenna and her girls came over for dinner.


None of the children followed the direction to smile... we even tried “don’t smile!” And they are all too smart  for us.

I’ll leave you with some video clips from the weekend. They consist of: training Luna, playing outside, Callie working on the 50 states song that I learned in 4th grade (she’s more than halfway to knowing all the states in ABC order!) and Baby Lucy’s new milestone!

A Picture Update

Hello! What a weird week! As I mentioned yesterday, we started the week with snow days. I took pictures every couple hours on Monday once the snow started and it was pretty fast and furious!


Maya still got to go to Boom’s house on Monday for part of the day.


By 5am Tuesday snow days were called for everyone PLUS Lucy! Since we were home, it worked out great to add Lucy to the mix at our house. We had so much fun!






By Wednesday we were back to our regular schedule and Maya hung out with Luna at G-ma and P’s house on Wednesday and Thursday.


Tonight I went out to a lovely Italian dinner with my mom and sisters.


Have a great weekend!!

Timehop Tuesday (On Thursday)

Hello! On Tuesday I was on snow day #2! I picked Callie up early Monday and both girls also had a snow day Tuesday. And we got a bonus baby that day, who also had a snow day!


I have 2 Timehops for you. First off, Callie has had some fun birthday parties the past couple years!


And the girls introduced Lucy to the “laptop” that my dad got Callie when she was around 2.

Timehop Tuesday Technical Difficulties

I can’t get pictures to upload today! I’ll have to try again later this week.
