November 25 - December 1 2024

 We did the exercise class on Tuesday this week so we could get together before everyone traveled to see their families for Thanksgiving. I brought a little apple pie to share, we had a little “friends-giving” after the class. The kids loved the snacks and I met two new moms who were able to come that day, Gabby and Hannah. 

Wednesday we took Katie to her two month check up where she got her first round of vaccines. She was so happy and smiley with the doctor, I think that made her extra surprised and sad when she got her shots. Paul’s coworkers recommended this bakery to us and it was right next to the pediatricians office, so we checked it out after the appointment and it was so yummy!

Paul had a long work week, they crashed 7 days of work into 3! He was ready for the holiday to come. 

Thursday I did a lot of cooking. I made Brie bites, turkey (obviously), sweet potatoes, corn on the cob, corn bread, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. It all turned out great!

Friday we got our Christmas decorations out, listened to Christmas music, watched Christmas movies, and had some yummy turkey sandwiches from our Thanksgiving leftovers. 

Sunday I got to be the chorister for our friend’s daughters baptism. It was a lovely, spiritual evening. 

Funny things Mary said this week: “whew! That was close” “Ma-owski” (Mike Wazowski), she calls her freckles sparkles, “go on, have a seat” “what do you mean? What are you talking about?” “There’s no use!” “Can I show daddy my moves?”

Monday I got up and pumped first thing. Paul was feeling like he wanted to go out and do something so we got ready and drove to Fallon to eat breakfast at the Wild Horse Cafe (we got takeout, of course). Mary was sad the whole drive down then Paul was sad because they soaked his whole breakfast in gravy. Everyone was upset there for a minute but we all calmed down and ate breakfast in the Fallon Walmart parking lot. Paul went in to see if they had egg whites, but they did not have them. We drove home and played outside for a bit. After I put Katie down for a nap I pumped again and Mary watched Snow White. She wasn't too scared of it, which surprised me. I cleaned up then Katie was up again. We got some Papa Murphy's pizza for dinner then watched Cinderella, which Mary loved! We ended up watching the three Cinderella movies multiple times throughout the week. She also loves the Three Caballeros with Donald Duck. I taught violin that night then pumped before putting Ma...

Monday we all slept in. When we all were awake we played in Mary's room then made breakfast. I put Katie down for a nap then pumped. Once Katie got up we drove to Fallon and got Little Caesars pizza. It was good but my tooth is still sore from getting a filling last week. We went to the park and played for an hour before heading back home. We went to Walmart for some fig newtons and chocolate milk. I tried to put Katie down for a nap but it didn't take. I pumped then cleaned up a bit. Paul made scones and I used up the rest of our honey and made honey butter. Katie went down for a nap then. We watched The Incredibles then Katie woke up. Paul fed her while I taught violin. I brushed Mary's teeth after the lesson then put Katie to bed and Paul put Mary to bed. I pumped again before going to sleep. Tuesday marked our 8 year anniversary of the day we got engaged. Paul went to work at the normal time. Mary woke me up and I made her waffles then pumped. Katie got ...

Monday morning Katie woke up at 7 and we saw Paul off to work. We played together until Mary got up at 7:45. I got my room cleaned then put Katie down for a nap. I had breakfast then finished writing my paragraph while Mary watched a movie. I watered the grass then cleaned the living room and kitchen before Katie woke up. I cleaned Mary's room and started the laundry then cleaned the playroom and office while the girls played with toys. I played with the girls then put Katie down for her second nap. I put a show on for Mary and I exercised and showered then watched Bluey with Mary. We made dinner together (spaghetti). Paul came home early so he could set up the squat rack that was delivered today. I made up the bed and Mary helped me. Katie woke up then. I brushed Mary's teeth while Paul practiced guitar. He put Mary to bed and I played with Katie before putting her to bed. Mary wandered in and I cuddled with her while cuddling Katie on my other side. Paul came in...
