Weekend Update

It's been a while since I've blogged. There isn't really a reason other than me being lazy. And Christmas is only a week away!! I can hardly contain myself.


Josie still hasn't quite mastered crawling. I'm almost wondering if she's just decided it isn't worth it since she can scoot her way across the floor (slowly but surely) and get what she wants.  


Her hair has gotten crazy lately. There's no taming it... It just seems to be so long all of a sudden! I can put it in a ponytail easily and therefore hide the craziness, but who wants the same exact thing every single day. Josie doesn't. I'm pretty sure she told me that the other day.


All of my presents are wrapped and under the tree. I should take a picture because it is the most perfect image! I cleaned up a bunch yesterday so my house is at least presentable enough to get through another week. That's my goal lately. The thought of cleaning the whole thing, truly deep cleaning, is completely overwhelming and I avoid it at all costs. 


I'm going to try to make something from Pinterest today. I'll let you know how it goes. It looks amazing but you just never know. I think most people repin things because they look good, not because they've tried and liked it. 





Here's hoping the week just flies by! (And the weekend creeps by...)

Merry Christmas!

Our Christmas card this year:

It took a lot of outtakes to get this semi-decent-thrown-together-in-5-minutes picture, but I'm happy with it!
We're all looking in the same direction and nobody has a double chin (you know, my lean husband is always struggling with that). 

The funny part is that the entire time we took these pictures, the dogs were crazy energetic because it was chilly but not freezing and we were all outside which never happens. They were running, barking, jumping, all while we were trying to hold Buckley in place and get him to look like a pretty posed pup. Yah right.

Maybe next year I'll have a picture ready before I decide to order the card. It is a lot of pressure to take the picture, edit it, and get a card ordered in one night. 

That being said, I am doing great as far as projects this year for Christmas. Most gifts wrapped, all gifts purchased (except Josie's stocking gifts...any ideas?) and no baking planned that could potentially overwhelm me. Here's to me enjoying the season this time around without stress. Plus I get to see everything through an almost 6 month old girl's eyes which is so fun and enlightening! 

For real, Merry Christmas. :)

Bad hair day


Dad called it good and left her looking like this.


Anybody have a hairbrush? 


I guess this isn't much better. 


Somebody get this girl a hairstylist.

Weekend Update

This weekend was completely uneventful. I loved it

I worked on Saturday morning. Mike went to an estate sale and cut up our pumpkin from Halloween. We're just a bit behind. I was going to just throw it out, but he was ambitious. We ended up with two pies and seventeen bags of pumpkin ready for more pie. Anyone want some?

Josie loves pumpkin. No sugar, salt, or pepper needed. Gross??

We tried another church this weekend and really liked it. We also got there an hour early and just sat around. #awkward

Christmas is in two weeks!


I haven't wrapped presents yet. Someone get me motivated.


I'm back, YMCA gym. Bring it! The two week hiatus is officially over and I am ready to get a beating.

I got new jeans and they are cheap, cute, and not maternity pants! I emphasize this because buying pants post pregnancy has not happened. I felt so much better immediately and now only want to wear jeans. I have missed this sweet sweet feeling. I used to only like to wear jeans but the last year made that tough since the usual pairs didn't fit.

Ok well have a great week bloggy world!
