10 on Tuesday
1. 3 more days til summer. Can I get a woohoo??
2. We haven’t signed up for a SINGLE THING this summer. No camps. No activities. I’ll probably cave and eventually sign up a for a couple of small things here and there. But I am really looking forward to some serious down time with my munchkins just enjoying the simple pleasures of life.
3. 2 more weeks til my little dude turns 2. We are keeping it simple this year with a family party…but that hasn’t stopped me from a few fun plans. Anyone got any ideas for a cute monster tee?
4. Mr. P and I have had quite the conversations lately about intentional living. Have you ever just paused and really contemplated how you “do life”? We are wanting to make some big changes on how we do life around our house….living and raising our kids with an intentional purpose in mind. I’ll fill you in more as we figure out the specifics of what that really means for us. But it does have us dreaming about the “what if we…” and wondering why we don’t?
5. Ms. A and I did a bit of shopping this weekend and she picked out THIS. I wasn’t completely sold until she put it on…but it is the CUTEST stinking thing on her. It totally takes me back to my own rompers as a kid. My Mom used to buy Hang Ten patterns and sew up little knit rompers for me. The patterns even came with a Hang Ten label to sew onto the clothes so the other kids at school didn’t torment you because you wore “hand made clothing”. Man was I cool. And now my kid is cool too. Rompers pretty much rock.
6. I have lots and lots of images to share here on the blog over the next few weeks. It has finally stopped raining and I’ve been BUSY BUSY BUSY with sessions this past couple of weeks! Babies GALORE!!
7. Today was my little man’s last day of Parents Day Out and I took little gifts for his awesome teachers. I got them adorable garden stakes that were dragon flies…then attached a note saying “Thank you for helping me spread my wings this year”. It seemed like such a cute idea earlier today. But now looking back I’m pretty sure I win the award for the most cliche gift ever. Oh well…it’s the thought that counts right?
8. Today in the car J was lamenting that when she goes off to college she won’t be able to take her teddy bear….you know…cause all the kids will make fun of her. She had herself all worked up about it. I have no idea why she actively looks for things to get upset about but she does. It is one of her “endearing qualities”. After listening to her whine for a few minutes I said “well you have 15 years to get used to the idea so I wouldn’t worry yourself too much”. At which point she said something like “Mom…15 years can pass in the blink of an eye.” Thanks. Now we’re both depressed.
9. Ghiradelli brownies. Seriously. Go buy some. Thank me later.
10. Shoot. Now I’m hungry…
HAPPY TUESDAY!
You can go ahead and tell Miss J there that my roommate and I both had stuffed animals in college. Actually, of all my roommates, all four years, only one didn’t. So if she still wants her teddy bear in college, more power to her!
Jenn – tell Miss J I had a stuffed dog in college (slept with it every night). Also, B’s cousin took her blankie (a small piece of it anyway) and slept with it under her pillow in college. No worries kiddo.
So glad you indulged in the Ghiradelli brownies!!! Yum!!! Been thinking about you lots…the past two weeks have been crazy for me too. I’m looking forward to nothing much on the calendar next week…..let’s get together….I MISS you!!
First thing…The Teddy Bear, I still have my FAVORITE stuffed animal from when I was young AND I’m 39! Saved it for my kiddo and she now has it. So tell your J not to fret too much. She can do what she wants to. Pretty sure I’m not the only one either.
Secondly…you are funny. Thanks for the chuckles in your read this morning. Third…Ghiradelli Brownies…COSTCO…HUGE BOX!!! You can have them more than once!
