Hello, blogland!
Apologies. It's been a crazy week, and I've come home EXHAUSTED every single night this week!
Regardless, here's a quick update of life!
First up: this shirt. Basically, it's the best thing ever for teachers. And apparently my aunt, who saw this posted on Instagram.. and immediately texted me to find out where I got it and when, and if I thought they would have any at her Target (best.store.ever). I got a selfie from her the next morning holding up her new favorite shirt, and a text this morning saying that she was wearing it to work. In other words, my aunt is awesome and I love her.
Apologies for the fact that the above picture is sideways. Blogging is hard. Friday night was my almost-stepsister's senior night for cheerleading, so I obviously had to make the boys all shirts to support her. They say "I'm only here for my cheerleader." Which is too true. If Sid is around, the rest of us are unimportant. I think it's an aunt thing.
He loved watching the game with his daddy.
That's our girl! Clearly, Cec and I needed matching shirts to support her, too. We're only going to get so many more opportunities to be embarrassing big sisters to her, so I feel like we need to take advantage of it! ;)
What? A picture where everyone is looking?! Is this real life?
Sometimes I really miss high school. And then I remember how much I love my life.
Saturday the weather was amazing, so we spent most of the day outside! We took a picnic lunch to the park & spent nearly three hours just being outside together.. I miss it! It was a little windy to play with the balls outside, so we opted to take the boys to the tennis courts that are a few blocks away- since everything is fenced in, we didn't have to worry about the balls blowing into the road (and more importantly, we didn't have to worry about the boys getting into the road!). Once we got home, we played with chalk and spent some time in the swing.
We are ready for spring to arrive!
That man.
Since it was nice outside, I went ahead and took the time to prep the van for lots of outside time! Here's the container of chalk that I keep in the van. Chalk is a lifesaver, especially during meets & stuff where we are stuck at the same place for a really long time! When your husband is a track coach, you have to have some tricks up your sleeve!
In this basket, I keep the chalk container, bubbles, a frisbee, Clorox wipes, a few plastic balls, and some hats for the boys. It's nice to have a few options while we are out and about!
Here's the rest of our outside stash: a picnic blanket/stadium seat (it folds & zips up, which is the best!), a hanging bag with an extra set of clothes & jackets for each of the boys, and an umbrella stroller.
Sunday at church, I had nursery duty, which means that there was lots of photography!
Momma's little chef!
This child is a packrat, and loves to use this lunchbox to hold all of his "collections."
He was putting his toes in his mouth. No joke. Monkey's weird.
Next week is Book Fair & Read Across America Week, so we decided to do a big thing at school and are having dress up days all week based off of Dr. Seuss quotes. More pictures next week, but I wanted to show these lovelies. This space dress is for Tuesday- Dream Job day. Any guesses as to what my dream job is? :)
All of these dresses are from She In. I'd never heard of the site before, but found it when I was searching for that space dress.
Looooove the colors in this one!
Daddy's currently at a track meet, so we sent him some pictures. Ignore the messy house- single parent life is hard (shoutout to all of the real single parents. You're awesome).
By the way- it's this one's birthday! Today, he turned two, so that means tomorrow is his birthday party! I'll post Monday about how everything goes- wish us luck!
<3
And finally, the boys were asleep. I love that we got them bunk beds with the full bottom bed- one of my favorite things every night is getting to lay next to them while they go to sleep. I mean, look how sweet they are!
Here's to a good and semi-relaxing weekend ahead! Love!
