Holy Monday....Mingle...and Weekend

Hello and Happy Monday! I hope your day's have been great and not the "typical" Monday!

 

 

I am going to start with my weekend rewind....

 

 

Friday: Friday was a nice day. Work was done by one. I got some errands done, and Scott's Christmas party for work was that night. It was an Ugly Sweater theme. My uncle has this great sweater that he let Scott wear, and Scott's mom had one from high school that she let me borrow. She also still had her boots from 1970 that I wore! They def completed the outfit!

 

It was a great time, and much needed with my husband, but since we don't go out much, we were still home by 11!

 

 

 

Saturday: I made breakfast for both Scott and I, and then got super excited because pop-e was on his way to our house. He was our first guest! Milli couldn't barely contain herself!

 

We relaxed with him, and my aunt came over. We ended up all helping baby sit the twins because their dad had his Christmas party. It was a good time! I hadn't got to see them in a while!

 

 

As you can see below they now love making faces!

 

I am super excited because they will be coming to Christmas in Laramie with the rest of us!

 

Pop-e tried out my aunt's beats and I couldn't resist taking a picture!

 

 

Sunday: We all slept in since we stayed up later talking. Pop-e def got a wake up call from his buddy.

 

She knew right where he was and snuggled right in.

 

We enjoyed breakfast, but then pop-e had to head back home. I was sad, but also knew that I would be seeing him this coming weekend for the holidays! The rest of the day my cousin Courtney stayed at our house and I literally had my arm on her belly all day. I felt baby boy kick, and move. I talked to him, played him music... Loved every minute of it.

 

Milli even got in on the action!

 

 

It was such a nice day. She is so much like me and it's great to just talk with her!

 

The weekend was awesome.

 

Monday: Oh helllo..... I woke up with a sore throat, but told myself no worries, this is the last week of school. Suck it up. Well I had shown up to school, and let's just say there was a ton of situations that happened that caused for a very stressful. I had a rough day. I continued to keep feeling sick. I finally got done with school, ran to the store and was so happy to be finally home after my day..and I walked in to this...

 

 

I was not happy about the two stuffed objects she tore up, but the ink is the bad part. That was our new rug for our living room. Blue ink. I am still trying to get it out. She is still in a bit of trouble.

 

After cleaning up Scott tried to help since he knew my day was awful, and cleaned up some stuff in the mud room. Lost his wedding ring....After us desperately looking for it. I found it wrapped in a tarp in the garage he had folded up. THANK GOD.

 

But through it all, even though I am still upset about a few things that have happened, I know that there is a reason for everything. Today I think it was to help me realize how much my husband and I need each other. He had a rough day as well, and through it we just hugged, and got through it. So nice to know I have married my best friend.

 

Soooo I'm linking up for Mingle.

 

Meg's question for monday was:

 

 

What are your favorite holiday traditions?

I have so many!

 

1. We always get to open on gift on Christmas Eve. It's always a nice, new pair of pj's to sleep in. (My grandma started this tradition with my mom and her sisters)

 

2. We always go bowling/ice skating for my sister's birthday which falls on Christmas Eve.

 

3. We open gifts on Christmas Day, go to my aunts for brunch, and usually never change out of the pj's

 

4. Dinner on Christmas eve.

 

5. We still do Santa gifts.

 

I just love the holidays.



Weekend..and a mingle

Hello! Happy Monday!

Was it super dark when you woke up today? It's always still dark when I do, but it was still dark when I went to work at 7:30! I was so thrown off by this all day. It made me want to curl up in a blanket and watch movies all day with Milli. 

Speaking of Milli we got her results from her allergy testing, now we know what to not give her, and that she is allergic to Dust mites...ugh. Washing all the time from now on! 

But onto the weekend!

Friday: As I post on Friday, we had a toddler party and Milli tried on her costume. Loved.

That night was Scott's last football game! It was so cold and they lost... sad : ( but I am glad to be finally seeing my husband finally! 

Court and I at our last football game

Saturday: Scott left for his "boys weekend" so I went and picked up my bountiful basket, and kept putting stuff away around the house. That evening I went to a wedding, and the boys (twins) came over for a slumber party! they were so much fun to have, and Milli was absolutely amazing with them. Makes me so happy to know she will be great with kids, but I never doubted that! 

*all three watching Finding Nemo*

Sunday: The boys woke up at 6! ha so much for sleeping in. I made them breakfast and then they went home. I watched a documentary on Marilyn Monroe (LOVE HER) called Love, Marilyn, and then I decided to get busy. I ended up painting my bathroom, and Scott's mom came and helped. After that I napped.....made dinner, and watched the documentary Blackfish. I recommend it, but I was extremely sad and angry for the whales when it was over, and sad for those who have died loving them... 

Scott got home around 10, and by that time I was wiped out. night night for Kae. 

Today: It was a decent Monday. The kiddos are so excited since it's Halloween, and I def share that excitement with them! We got Milli and allergy shot that should help with itching...and I went grocery shopping. While I was typing this, The Vow was on tv, and it was at a certain part that I love..so I have to share. 

Makes you smile to finish up a Monday!!!!

Sorry for the randomness towards the end! Hope you all had a great weekend!!!! 

Link up with Meg! 

Meg's mingle question: What are going going to do or be for Halloween?

I plan on being a spider again for school, and passing out lots of candy! I think I'll make hot cider and have donuts because that is a tradition my mom started :)

xxoo

weekend and a mingle

Hello there! head over to Life of Meg and mingle! So my weekend was busy and cold! 

Friday: was a huge snow storm, which postponed our trip to my mother's to get the rest of my stuff. Scott said we needed some adult time so we went out for a little bit. It was sure nice to see some friends!

Saturday:  We decided it was time, and we moved in FINALLY. I will post pictures of updates when I get more done! It was so cold and so tiring, but it was so rewarding staying the night in OUR OWN HOUSE!

(my key..hehe gotta love Disney) 

my husband surprised me with a bottle of wine and a movie.

Wine: delicious.

Movie: not a fan. I only liked one part in the whole movie...

Sunday: we went much needed grocery shopping.... Scott's mom brought back some tea from her trip back east. AMAZING. Then we had my cousin Courtney and her lover over, and Scott's parents to watch the game. Dallas didn't win, but it was a good game, and fun to have people over!

Overall it was a nice weekend but busy. 

I felt pretty tired going to work today! 

And for my MINGLE question: Fall movies - what upcoming movie are you most excited for? 

*Bad grandpa (haha I know, but it makes me laugh)

*Catching fire

Mingle and Weekend

Hello everyone! 

I am hoping everyone had a great weekend! 

Friday: a super busy day at work. Even though we didn't have our normal students, we did have toddler group for an hour, and then prepping for the whole week, observation logs, and cleaning. I was burnt out by the time work was finished. 

Scott and I met up after went to the bank and FINALLY combined our bank accounts. Still some getting used to having a new last name and all. Then we had a quick lunch. He had a football game that night, and so he had to be at the stadium early. It was FREEZING FRIDAY. I mean almost zero. So my cousin, her boyfriend, and I dressed in our warm gear and headed to the game. I wish I could say it was worth sitting in the horrible weather, including SNOW which I am not ready for, but we lost bad, and to say the least Mr. Muir was not happy. 

We were a tad bit cold.

Saturday: Well Sunday is actually the twins birthday, but we celebrated on Saturday so that everyone could come. Let me tell you, the boys made out. I can't even begin to tell you how much new stuff they got. They are two pretty cute, spoiled 3 year olds! 

Scott and I got them tractors, hats, and backpacks

These are the hats we got them, the arms move! 

That night I just relaxed and saw my family and Scott saw a friend who came to town. 

Sunday: We had breakfast with the family, and then went to the house. My aunt came over to help, and my sweet 87 year old pop-e even helped! We didn't end moving in all the way, but we still have some more painting to do anyways! 

The rest of the day was spent just getting ready for the week! 

Overall a great weekend! 

The Mingle Question: If you had a random day off, what would I do?

At this moment, I would paint my house, so we could move in sooner : ) 

Join Meg, and mingle!
