Hello, Monday

Yeah, I know, it's Wednesday.  But it's been that kind of a week.

Just popping in for a few minutes to share what has made me happy today.

Erin, wandering around the house singing, "Shake my booty...!"  I know it won't be cute in a few years, so I'm soaking it up now.

Genoa salami on leftover garlic bread for lunch.  Yum.

Seth proclaiming, "I love bacon most of all."  Amen, and amen.

A not-half-bad french braid, on my own hair.  Granted, "not-half-bad" translates to "not-half-good" but it isn't anything a sparkly headband can't make presentable.

James, smacking the window screen with my flip flop, and his way-too-cute "Giddit!" ("Get it!")  He thinks watching me swat flies is the funniest thing EVER, and it has turned into one of the first things he is imitating.

And there you have it.  A piece of our daily randomness tossed out there for the world to see.  Aren't you glad I blog? lol

 

 I'm linking up with Lisa Leonard for Hello, Monday.

Hello, Monday (Seth edition)

Since returning from Tennessee, we're been struggling a little bit with Seth.  What an outsider might perceive as bratiness or aggressiveness, we were seeing a need for attention and quality one-on-one time.

After a stern (and decidedly deserved) wake up call from Gramma this past weekend, I decided to shift my focus with true intention this week onto Seth.  So, this edition of Hello, Monday (sans pictures, boo!) is all about my baby...

Hello, coarse and brown leg hair.  Where did you come from, and what are you doing on my 4-year-od?

Hello, microwave s'mores.

Hello, hair-pulling rounds of Chutes and Ladders (that game never ends!!!).

Hello, Clorox and paper towels, and a little boy learning to wipe the floor when he can't be bothered to watch where he is aiming you-know-what. ;)

Hello, enlisting little hands to help sort laundry.

Hello, bright eyes lighting up at successfully writing S-E-T-H over and over again.

Hello, gray skies, that have kept us inside with quiet play and sweet moments.

Hello, magical 18-month Carter footie pajamas that still somehow fit a 34-pound four-and-a-half year old.

What are you saying "hello" to today?  Tell us over at Lisa's blog!

Hello, Monday-Tuesday, 8.7.12

Hello, week that will be "off," since Friday felt like Saturday, and Saturday felt like Sunday, and so on and so forth...

Hello, happy colors on my kitchen counter.

Hello, baby girl napping in her new grown up room.

Hello, sick hubby.  I hope you feel better soon!

Hello, week of prepping for barbeque fun.

Hello, getting back on track with WW.  Two weeks of indulgence due to house guests, traveling, vacation, and funerals has caught up.

Hello, Monday 7.16.12

Hello, Monday.


Hello, new wide-open week with nary a thing on the calendar.

Hello, sleepy James, who gave me a stretch from, get this!, 10:45 PM to 9:30 AM.  (For the record, he was swaddled in his bassinet during that stretch, not in his carseat.  This is just a pic I snapped at the zoo Saturday.)

 

Hello, new paint in the master suite!!!  Loving the (SW-color-matched-to-Valspar's) Evening Eclipse:

  

Hello, blistering temperatures, again.  Feel free to go away and give us the freedom to go outside without heat stroke.

Hello, second month on Weight Watchers.  Another 8 lbs would be nice to send off....
