a week in review

the week started off with an incredibly relaxing afternoon of football

nathan totally digs it. a little football stud in the making, i tell ya.

ava and i did a little wish listing. there were a lot of, "oh my gosh! this is my favorite toy in the WHOLE world!"s. i think that is a bit better that hearing "i want" constantly.

and yeah, so what if i let my kid in public looking like that. it's cute. she picked it out herself. also, i am pretty proud of the fact that i am able to wrangle my kid out of the toy section with no meltdowns AND nothing in the cart. because my kid is just that great. (ha)

i practiced the art of getting a kid in the ergo with a back carry all by my lonesome. it really is an art. if you don't believe me, try it.

i have high hopes of getting out and putting my hiking shoes to use (weather permitting). this is how i plan to do it.

The weather took a turn for the worse, and we dipped into the TEENS. it SNOWED. (barely.) And I didn't want to step outside. i was lazy for a couple of days and it was flippan fantastic. annnnd i was able to get ahead in my online classes. go me.

i attempted to make cake balls, and failed. miserably. i suck. never again.

i have issues melting chocolate, it seems. who would have thought it would be so difficult???!!! not i.

I attempted to spruce up nathan's nook. i decided to go with an aviation sort of theme. i think. for now.

it is a work in progress. i still have more stars to make and I am not all that happy about the framed 'art.' i will be searching for what i really want to use in the coming weeks. i also would like to get more frames. i want to get a crib sheet that is that bright orange color. any tips on where i can get one? i may have to figure out how to sew so i can make one.

i drove passed these crazies on WEDNESDAY. it was like 20 FLIPPAN degrees outside. during the day. insane. just insane.


 

I registered for my first 5K. I am STOKED.


pretty self explanatory....

just need to find someone that wants to take me out. ha!

 

and noone invited the kids and i to their thanksgiving like i had hoped for. i'll post about that next week.

hope everyone get's all their Christmas shopping done asap.

good day.
