Weekend Wrap-Up

Well, it is Sunday already. And halfway through December. Not sure how that happened!

Yesterday morning we decorated a gingerbread house.

One of us was pantless, as usual. And they nailed it once again, as usual.

Then there was some doll playing with Luna (still pantless).

After dance class, Jenna and the kids came over and we headed to Logan Park for SLEDDING!

This morning I took Luna out for a walk and the sky was so colorful. As you’ll see below, the elves encouraged the girls to take a bath, and they were super excited about it.

We met Boom for brunch. In this picture Maya is smiling, but don’t be fooled. She moaned or cried for the entire hour BECAUSE WE ORDERED HER FOOD TO EAT AT BRUNCH. You can’t make this stuff up, folks.

She managed to perk up back at Boom’s house and helped Boom make Christmas Wreaths.

YUM!

Back at home we decided to take advantage of the warm-ish (for December) weather again and headed out for a run/bike ride with Luna.

At home I caught this sweet moment.

And then we have our elves’ antics this weekend.

Tonight Maya and I made Black Bean Quinoa burgers. She gave them two thumbs up! 

They were delicious!

The difference between the 2nd child’s eating habits and the 1st child’s pickiness is UNREAL.  😃

We ended the evening snuggling and giggling.

Have a great week!

A Picture Update

Happy Friday everybody!

We had a fun week! Coo-Koo and Looney were up to their usual shenanigans.

We had some chill time at home.

As I mentioned on Wednesday, we celebrated Luna’s 2nd birthday at G-ma and Pa’s house. Luna got a nice treat and we had a lot of family picture outtakes.

Callie had a concert at school yesterday- actually 2 concerts! G-ma and Boom went to the first one, and Pa and I went to the second one.  Maya got to go to both! And sadly Chris couldn’t go to either, but I got some video. Click

Tonight we went over to Nana and Papa’s for a Christmas party! There were lots of aunts and uncles and cousins and it was so fun to be together.

The girls agreed to visit Santa so I could take a picture, and then Santa made the rounds to our table too.

I’ll leave you with something I found on Instagram that spoke to my soul this week. 

Chris and I hate being late. We are rarely late and in general begin the process of leaving our house much earlier than we need to because of the above reasons. But weekday mornings...they are just usually a hot mess cacophony of any of the above 11 items while trying to get out the door. Hence, this SPEAKS TO MY SOUL.

On that note...Have a great weekend!!

Happy Birthday Luna Ray!

Luna is 2-years-old today! And it was almost exactly a year ago that we first learned about her, and adopted her shortly after.

Look at that cute face! We had a fun dinner party at Pa and G-ma’s to celebrate.

Happy birthday to our little Luna-tic!

Timehop Tuesday

Happy Tuesday! First off, does anyone remember the crazy snow storm we had 8 years ago? Here is Chris’ car completely buried in snow.

Nuts! Anyway, here are our girls at church Christmas programs:

And evidence that Maya has been wearing the same cheetah coat for three winters in a row (size 4T and she’s almost 5.5 years old)...which is also a coat I bought for Callie that she flat out refused to wear ever.

Happy Birthday Auntie Mari!!!

Guess who is 30 today?!?!?

This girl, and awesome auntie!

She’s a southerner now, down in Missouri, but we still hope that 30 is awesome!!! 🤪

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday!

We had a nice weekend, and continued with enjoying a variety of Christmassy things!

Yesterday morning we got some (chilly) fresh air. It felt good to get outside a bit, even though it was kind of cold.

Then Auntie Cat took the girls after dance for some time at her house, and then time at G-ma and Pa’s house.

While they were gone, I had time by myself to wrap Christmas presents! It took 2 hours...!

This morning I had some “help” folding laundry.

And then we had TWO different Sunday School programs at church. (Thankfully next year they’ll both be in the same one!).

We started off with Maya’s program, where she chose to be an angel. Auntie Yoda, Uncle Craigles, and Lucy came too.

Maya chose to stand behind a few other kindergartners, but her face peeked out every once in awhile.

After the program we got cookies!

You may be thinking, “Huh, Kati and Lucy are both wearing plaid.” Yep, our matchy outfits complimented each other nicely and in a Chrissmassy way.

Then later in the afternoon, Callie had her Christmas program! She chose to be a sheep (she also chose to wear sandals with no socks, inexplicably). Boom came to the program too.

I’ll leave you with a couple days of elf shenanigans.

Have a great week!

A Picture Update

Um...sorry guys. My photo collection from the week is probably as pathetic as it has ever been.

G-ma sent me this picture of Maya yesterday, which was the first pic of my children taken all week.

But don’t worry, I took plenty of pictures of Coo-Koo and Looney!

And saved this comic from Fowl Language because it is so freaking relatable (boxed wine rules).

Today I went to Maya’s family breakfast at school. Hooray for donuts!

And while leaving work I captured this pretty sunset. Which is notable because we don’t see the sun much these days.

Tonight is a disaster of crying, screentime, wine, random dinners, playing, and counting the minutes til bedtime.

I’ll leave you with a pic that popped up on Timehop today that just made me melt and also gave me slight sleep deprivation PTSD because Baby Maya was a nightmare sleeper and we must have been SO FREAKING TIRED when we took what must have been an attempt at a Christmas card picture.

Cheers! 🍷 Have a great weekend!
