Gosh, I do not know what is UP but I just have not had much time to blog lately. Seems like I've been writing only one post every 5-6 days, which is so much lower than my typical cadence. This weekend was busy, so I guess that explains that part. Friday My last post was… Continue reading Weekend, birthday, OFFICIAL NEW DRIVER, etc….
This past weekend was so fun!!! A bit of a busy whirlwind trip, but so fun. Ethan had a soccer game in Minneapolis, which is about a 4 hour drive from our house. (It was supposed to be two games, but ended up being only one- long story.) When I'd heard about the Minneapolis games,… Continue reading Minneapolis fun + friends!!
Hello! It's been a few days. The weekend was busy with Asher's State swim meet. (He was a relay-only swimmer, Saturday and Sunday.) We met my parents for dinner on Friday night on the way into town, and then were up and gone pretty early both Saturday and Sunday for the meet. He did well… Continue reading Weekend updates and (annual?) pandemic flashbacks
So, the verdict on the new fancy suit.... I would say...."very helpful but not magic, either". Asher had a great meet!! But that being said, it didn't seem like the suit was absolutely life-altering, either. Which, in fairness, I think we expected. I mean, it's still just a swimming suit, not a turbo-charged jet pack.… Continue reading Swim success (relative) and weekend
Just popping in to say Happy Saturday! Hope you're all having a nice start to the weekend. The big event around here is Asher's Regional swim meet. He's swimming both today and tomorrow, and our team is co-hosting, so I have to volunteer. FORTUNATELY, I am no longer the team's Volunteer Coordinator, so this weekend… Continue reading Happy Saturday
I'm happy to report that my bad week has generally settled down. Things have still felt just a little crazy, but at least Charlie is finally doing better!! Charlie Update: So, I had mentioned he had chewed up a lamp cord last week, followed by a week of nighttime wakings with loose stools. (I did… Continue reading Sunday updates
A little shopping + minimalism fail: Saturday my mom and I ran some errands; I had to deal with a couple of returns, stopped at a couple of stores, and got my van washed! I also ran across these cute Adidas hats: I really like wearing hats- especially when we travel, but also sometimes to… Continue reading Recent happenings, etc.
I woke up this morning with many things rolling around in my head that I wanted to do. I've actually struggled with this in general lately on the weekends- lots of random things to do, but none of them necessarily time sensitive, exactly, or urgent. So, on some "free" weekends like this one (i.e. not… Continue reading A Numerical List Style Saturday
Ohhhh I want this weekend to just keep going on!!! I liked this weekend so much. Friday was the big snow day, so although I worked, it had a "let's all just hunker down" feel. Then no work or school for any of us Saturday, Sunday OR today! (MLK Jr. Day Holiday) I feel like… Continue reading A perfect week and can the long weekend please continue?
Father Winter sure stopped by this week around here. I don't know the exact totals, but something in the 8 inch range on Tuesday, and yesterday into today we got hammered with another ~12 inches. I envision a wintery, mythical creature like this waving a snow wand over Wiconsin: I've been generally feeling it! Yes,… Continue reading Snowy snowy Saturday…
GRATEFUL KAE
