Halloween seems to be the switch – and in the 24 hours surrounding the holiday it gets cold and turns into proper Fall weather.  I like the cozy feeling of layers but it’s hard to get motivated to exercise when it’s dreary and dark out until 7ish. Fortunately I had Stroller Strides to look forward to on Wednesday.  I had some serious peanut butter reese’s to work off 😉  Kyle left early that morning for a few days out of town, so it was just the three of us playing until preschool drop off.

Our Halloween was awesome. Just like the Christmas season last year, I am realizing more and more how much more fun the holidays are with kids.  The spirit is infectious.  It’s so sweet seeing everything through their eyes…especially things they’ve read about multiple times, but are now experiencing themselves for the first time.  Like trick or treating!  He got to knock on doors and say trick or treat and do all that stuff for the first time.

Is it just me or has this Halloween been 5 days long? Coffee and crafts…what else is there to do when it’s dark out at 7 am?!  We’ve been extra into art projects lately because I am cutting off all TV.  We got into the habit of letting them watch one show a day to keep P calm during his post-dose “rest time” at grandma and grandpa’s house.  And then somehow, it made it’s way to our house every once in a while.  And now they are actually asking for it (whining for it) after… Read more >

You’re gonna be bored of this breakfast shot soon. If not already.  I’ll make something new this weekend just to have a different start to the day.  it makes the weekends special.  Until then… Today was our last day with froggy, which meant I was doing some last minute scrambling the day before to finish up his adventure journal.  I was not ready for homework this soon.  I need to get my A game on before next year when it really matters. The best part about having froggy come stay with you is the backpack,… Read more >
