Weekend Wrap-Up

Hey all! We had a pretty chill weekend. Here are the pics!

Chaotic cousin time on Saturday:

Donuts and crazy Luna today:

Have a good week. It’s almost March! Not sure where February went.

A Picture Update

Happy Friday everybody. It has been a weird and sad week for the world, and a long and busy week for us. Our prayers go out to the people of Ukraine and the trans community in Texas. 

The pics from this week: 

Shoveling another round of snow…and when the tween ignores me at home, I FaceTime her. And she still ignores me sometimes.

And then we have Wordle strategy with Pa and Luna’s tough life.

This dog…so needy and so cute. We started another season of Survivor tonight! It is one of my favorite family activities.

Have a good weekend.

Weekend Wrap-Up

Hey all!  Happy Monday.  We had a lovely long weekend, and now anticipating a snow storm.  We'll see what actually happens with the weather tomorrow!

On Saturday we dropped the girls off at Boom's house for a sleepover!  As you can see, they didn't have any fun.  LOL.  

Chris and I had a quiet afternoon getting some things done around the house.  Then we (he) made stir fry (yum!).  We went over to our friends' house after their kids were in bed and had a lovely time drinking wine and playing Quirkle until almost 11pm!

The sky was so pretty on Saturday evening, so I texted Callie the picture of it at our house (top picture).  Then she sent me a couple back with the downtown sky.  There are perks of her having her own phone, I guess.  Ha.

On Sunday the girls went on a walk with Chris, Pa, and Auntie Cat, and Callie sent me a picture of a bald eagle.  We enjoyed the outdoor weather and then Maya did some "curling" in the living room.

Then she re-organized our pantry and later got a bit staticky.

This morning Callie discovered that animal faces now work with Snapchat filters and we couldn't stop giggling at Luna.

Our plan was to go try ice skating at a local rink, but it ended up being closed so we got a car wash instead.  And then Maya played outside a bit with the neighbor buddy.

This afternoon while Cal and I went out shopping, Chris took Maya for her first skiing lesson!  

Here are some quick video clips (click here) from the past week...silly Mila, the benefits of my month-long plus daily yoga journey (my headstand is SO much better!), and Maya on the ski slopes!

I’ll leave you with two of Maya’s dinner conversation starters:

“Dad, would you rather be a cockatoo or an alien?” (Her response was an alien, because she has already BEEN AN ALIEN…?)

“Dad, if you were a mountain, what would you do? I would make a path for people.”

Have a lovely week.

A Picture Update

Happy Friday! Chris was skiing with buddies in Aspen from Saturday through Wednesday night. He had a great time and sent lots of pretty pictures:

The girls and I held down the fort (with help from Pa and Auntie Cat so I could still work my normal hours…thanks Pa and Auntie Cat!).

Have a great weekend. We all have Monday off for President’s Day, so I’ll be back Monday night for the wrap-up!

(Tonight’s utter chaos.)

Timehop Tuesday: Happy Birthday Isla!!!

Today’s Timehop: the girls’ reaction right after we found out Isla was born (super early!) and then them giving Isla her first birthday present!

Happy birthday Miss Isla! We love you!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

They don’t allow me to dress them alike or in pink anymore, so thankfully we had a balloon from Boom to help make it clear it is, in fact, Valentine’s Day.

And here is a walk back in time!

Ok…and then I had to go back to before kids because, frankly, it is a bit hilarious. So here we are starting in 2008 and going all the way back to 2001 (I think?!). I think the only year lost to time is 2005…ironically. That’s our wedding year. I hadn’t yet started my years-long journey of scrapbooking. 

Weekend Wrap- Up

Happy Sunday!  We had a lovely little weekend.  Even thought it was FREEZING COLD again.  

Yesterday morning I waited to do my yoga until after the girls woke up (usually I do it around 4:30am), so I had some company...but I also was able to look at the window and see the pretty sunrays! Later, Maya and I made some fancy pretzels and Luna stared me down because she was so mad I wouldn't take her out for a walk in the freezing cold weather.

Yesterday afternoon we had a Valentine's party with Boom, Auntie Yoda, Lucy and Mila!  The cousins has A BLAST together and it was a few hours of pure fun chaos.

Boom made each of the girls beautiful heart wall hangings!


And the chaos continued in Boom's closet with her clothes on.

There was play time and Snapchat time...and we had spaghetti pie for dinner and a big heart cake for dessert.  

Happy Early Valentine's Day!

This morning we had friends over for some play time and lunch.  

Then we headed to ISLA'S FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!

Have a great week!

A Picture Update

Happy Friday!

We had a busy week, but I managed to get a few more pictures than last week.

Pretty sky and some snow play:

And then Luna, wine, and reading with Auntie Cat:

Finally, more Luna, upside down Maya, and the walk to the bus stop.

Have a great weekend!

Little babies today!!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday everybody!  We had a nice relaxing weekend.  Yesterday morning Maya and I played Upwards, while she was wearing a backwards baby bonnet an making up crazy words.  But it was fun, nonetheless.

While Chris was running errands, I took the girls to the outlet mall.  It was quite the experience to actually go shopping in stores again!  We have gotten way too used to the convenience of Target drive-up. We survived, and Maya got slippers while Cal got FOOTIE JAMMIES.  

Later, we snuggled before bed.  Somehow they both smiled for me...a small miracle these days.

This morning we headed to Boom's house for some crazy cousin time!

Callie had fun with Lucy and Mila on Snapchat.

We watched some Olympics tonight, which of course meant pretend figure skating. That also sometimes ended up with them flying through the air or falling on the floor.

I'll leave you with some videos from the past couple of months...it has been awhile!  Click here for the fun!
