Weekend Recap

We had a good weekend....here are some highlights:


Meigan and her family were in town to visit the in-laws and do a bit of late season skiing. They stopped by to say hello and meet Miss Dahlia. I hadn't seen Meigan in a few yeas (although - DUH I saw them at the NEWTON'S premiere a couple years ago) She has graciously embarrassed me on her site with some LOVELY pictures - go check them out and tell me you don't LOVE my pants.

Anyhoo - it was great to see Meigan & the gang. Her girls are SO sweet. It makes me excited for Dahlia's fun future!! She also brought us some yummy chicken & rice soup which we ate last night for dinner - so good!! And a gift for little Dahlia and a bag full of samples from her work - I'm set! Meigan it was GREAT to see you! I'm looking forward to the next visit - there were so many subjects we didn't even touch on!!


I got my hair cut & colored:
Of course it looked cute the first day but I cannot recreate that look. It also looks better than in this picture - I have a hard time taking self portraits. Anyway - it's short (particularly in the back) and it's colored and I *think* I like it! It always takes me a few days...

We watched THE GRADUATE (as I posted about earlier) and I also took Miss M to HORTON HEARS A WHO which I thought was adorable! Miss M & I also made some Easter cards.

Yesterday my friend Sarah (blogless) was in town to also do some late-season skiing. She and her beau John stopped by. It was the first time for me to meet the NEW BOYFRIEND so that was fun. He's great. I think they are a really great pair. I am hoping good things for them!!!

Dahlia slept for 8 hours IN A ROW on Friday night which was awesome. Saturday night it was a bit less and last night she got up at 3am which I wasn't all that thrilled with but what can ya do? We had some awesome snuggle time so that made up for it.

I cleaned up 7 cat pukes, did about 15 loads of laundry, cleaned up countless spit ups (including a lovely projectile over my shoulder in the kitchen), scooped a litter box and cleaned a toilet. ah weekends!

Now, it's Monday and the Minnesota Revenue dept has something to say to me (work related...poopy).

Fun weekend! So great that Meigan could come up and see you and family. And I think you'll just love your hair. Do you do it messy? I think short hair is fabulous. On other people. It make my face look fat. No joke. Great pics on Meigan's site, huh?

I should've done this a year ago....

A pandemic game time & conversation (via Zoom)   Well, we're about 13 months into this pandemic and I should've been back blogging then. I mean, I was home an awful lot. I could've done it. But I didn't. I wrote in my actual journal but that's a crazy mish-mash of stuff. This would've been fun to keep just pandemic stuff. Ah well, live and learn. I'll be ready for the next one (no, no, I won't). It's been a year...a year of ups and downs; of being laid off and re-hired; of wondering what to do with my life and starting grad school. We got fish, we got two kittens. What a year.  Kids have mostly been troopers but there have been some tough days. August went back to hybrid last fall, then everything stopped for a while and went back to 5 days a week in February - hooray! Dahlia finally got to start hybrid in.....February? (I can't remember) and then started back in person 4 days a week...but after her first 4 days she was identified as a "

Penguin Shenanigans

For our 2020 Winter Reading program, there wasn't an overall theme. I decided to create my own theme. And the Penguins took over the library! I printed out real-to-life sized photographs of penguins...an Emperor, a Fairy, a Chinstrap and a Galapagos Penguin to be exact. I put them on the walls in one area. My hope was that kids would stand next to them and measure up - and they sure did! It put a smile on my face every time. Above each penguin I included some facts. Usually where they lived, what they ate and any quirky stuff about them. It's always great to be able to provide a little learning opportunity along the way. We also included penguin voting. I always think it's fun to add a pre-math activity when I can. I made 4 buckets with a photo of each of the aforementioned penguins. Kids (& adults) were able to ask for a "voting token" (ie: a saved bottle cap) at the desk and then put it in the bucket of their choice. It was fun hearing t

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.
