Last weekend, our first full weekend home, was pretty busy. Multiple volleyball games, soccer tournament, etc. So, I've been looking forward to this weekend, because we had literally zero plans on the schedule. (And looking ahead, most of the next weekends for....hmmm....eternity, don't look nearly this open.) Last night Ivan and I went out for… Continue reading Looking like a good day
Weekend Update: SPORTS It was supposed to be a really busy day yesterday. Ethan had 2 volleyball games in the morning ( 8 and 10 am), and then Ivan was going to take him to a soccer tournament all afternoon (an hour away). Well, it snowed again, as it does on April 2 in Wisconsin… Continue reading Weekend so far + Blog update!
1- Weather We had very mild temperatures this weekend, including a big thunderstorm on Saturday with some downpouring rain. It was nice, actually- felt like spring!! But then I walked out of my room this morning and saw this view out of the sunroom window: Wait, what?! I usually watch local weather report most days,… Continue reading Monday list
Saturday was nice. We had only one "anchor event" at 9:15, which was Ethan's basketball game. After that, we didn't have any plans. I did make a list of like 7 things I wanted to get done yesterday/ this weekend...but I ended up checking off only 2 (so far). The weekend isn't over. 🙂 However,… Continue reading Saturday in pics

You often hear people lament that January is a long, slow month- it's the thick of winter, the holidays are over, everyone is trying to implement their "New Year's resolutions"....it's kind of like one big, long Monday all month long.… Continue reading Too many ideas, not enough time

Fortunately, nothing was truly too bad this weekend, though. 🙂 5 The highest spot goes to....Ethan and basketball. He had one game Saturday… Continue reading 5-4-3-2-1
We had a good weekend. It felt full, but productive and relaxing at the same time. Saturday: Saturday was the "busy" day. Ethan had a basketball game at 8 am at his school and had to be there by 7:30. So that was a pretty early start. Ethan's team had a tournament, so the 8… Continue reading Weekend misc. + final bedroom reveal
Hello hello! Didn't mean to go MIA for a while there. We were gone all weekend for Asher's State competition in Milwaukee, which isn't too far from my parents' house. Asher swam Saturday and Sunday afternoon, and we ended up staying overnight at my parents' until Monday morning. (I took a half day off, the… Continue reading Weekend and tired
I'm sitting here taking a few deep breaths, not really feeling at all ready for a new week to start!!!! I had a nice weekend, but it tipped very far to the "kids/ activities" side of the scale. Saturday started BRIGHT and early getting Asher up and off to 7:15 a.m. swim practice. By 8… Continue reading Not ready for the week
1- Christmas music is BACK! Last night in the car, Asher turned the radio on, and bam. There it was. "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree." I am not sad about this. No, it's not too early. No, it's not annoying. 😁 I love Christmas music. It feels almost impossible to be down when you are… Continue reading Couple good things
