This past week has been FUN! And, I'm tired now. Hahaha. Yesterday was our last "action" day of this Thanksgiving week, which as you know by now, has been full of theater performances, shopping, cooking, lots of amazing family time, Thanksgiving, decorating, work and more. My parents were slated to leave yesterday (Saturday), after being… Continue reading A 4-part busy Saturday; now ready for a quiet day!
I'm glad we opted out of the Sunday swim meet session and got home Saturday. Leading into Thanksgiving week, I needed Sunday morning to regroup a little bit. Ethan had to work at 7, so I ran him over there at 6:45. Ivan and Asher were up pretty early too because the World Cup was… Continue reading 2022 Family Theater Outing: Come From Away
Hello, Monday. Wish you were still another day away, but, here you are. The weekend was good! Looking at the calendar, this is the last weekend for a LONG time that I don't have some sort of "bigger" event or other going on. Therefore, I really tried to take advantage of it and get some… Continue reading Holiday planning/ holiday stress + something I’d never done before
Writing this from a markedly "lighter outside" 6 a.m. Monday morning, now that Daylight Savings Time has ended... Yes, we set the clocks back this weekend. I know this can be a big deal to people with little kids + sleep issues, but fortunately, I think we're past the stage where this ruffles our feathers… Continue reading Weekend snapshots
I wanted to write a recap of our mini fall getaway last weekend to Wisconsin Dells! We stayed overnight just one night, but spent most of 2 days there. October 15th, Saturday: We had gone to that UW Badgers hockey game Friday night, so we were a little slow moving on Saturday. The idea was… Continue reading Mini-fall getaway recap: Wisconsin Dells
Whew, I've made it to Level 39 in the Game of Life!!! Today is my 39th birthday. (As I did last year, stealing my friend Joel's "level" reference re: birthday years, because it's just fun to me! 🙂 ) (Also, I just accidentally clicked something and published this post with 1 1/2 sentences written, so,… Continue reading Level 39
Last night we managed to fit in a family fun night!! Lately, I've been lamenting some that life just feels "different". Ethan has a job now, so there are times that he would normally be free, but now instead has to work. If he's not working, he has soccer. Or something. Asher has had some… Continue reading Fitting in family fun…. with busy teens
This past weekend was pretty great. I've talked, ad nauseam, about how busy we've been lately. We finally weren't busy this weekend!!! Asher left Friday morning to go up north with a few friends, to celebrate his friend's birthday at their lake house. So, we had a wide open weekend with just Ethan home. This… Continue reading Life lately
I mentioned this weekend was supposed to be gloriously "wide open", with no plans. (Well, I actually did have plans- they included yard work, catching up on a few work tasks (since I took Thursday afternoon off), and cleaning out my closet.) Saturday was a very productive day for all of us- lots of yard… Continue reading Change of plans!
On Sunday we spent the day in Chicago!! It was a really, really great day. SO FUN!! Chicago is only a couple hours from our house, but it's not a place we go often at all. In fact, I think the last time we were there was when the boys were maybe around 3 and… Continue reading Chicago Day: SO MUCH FUN
GRATEFUL KAE
