So excited about this Twitter Party! It’s always such fun and last year’s #SchoolofCloth party was a blast. Really hoping to expand my stash, so our next little one will have something of his/her own!
RSVP here to participate and enter to win!
Welcome to Manic Mommy Monday, started by The Gnome’s Mom, hosted by Crunchier by the Day and 2 SleepingBabies; where Mommy bloggers from all walks of life join together to share a little bit about ourselves, our families, our lives. Sometimes we get too busy planning events and running around that we need a reminder to just take a breath and enjoy the insanity.
Enjoy to the Mania
Has it really been that long since I’ve posted?
I have my reasons…
Right after Thanksgiving my Great Aunt passes away. My extended family is very close, so Jaron and I drove up to Tennessee with my dad and then
13 hour trip, but books and riding in a truck with only a front seat really helped!! He loved sitting right next to us and being able to see out!
back down with my mom a few days later. It was a whirlwind trip which seemed to sap every bit of energy that I had, but everyone was thrilled to see us, it had been over a year. Too bad Jake and Aedyn had to stay home this time!
We got home just in time for everyone to come down with nasty colds…hopefully we got all of our winter sicknesses out of the way in one go…that was a mess!
I danced as a performer (as opposed to teacher) for the first time in nearly a decade! It was so nice to be on stage again, but man has my body changed! 10 years and 2 kids will do that to you I guess…
After that we were planning, cleaning and otherwise preparing for our Christmas Open House. Of course, not everything got done that I wanted done, stockings are still not made, but we had a great time this past Saturday and hopefully it will become an annual thing.
So that’s the quick update. More details to come when I have more than a couple minutes to write…this having only one computer and Jake working from home really puts a crimp in my blogging style!

I thought once we moved into the house I’d have time to do Thanksgiving crafts with the boys. We have a lot to be thankful for this year, but apparently being thankful for the ability to sit still and do crafts isn’t one of them…having 2 wonderfully active little boys is though!
We’ve done a couple crafty type things. But we haven’t had nearly as much time as I thought with trying to unpack and keep up with our daily stuff too.
It also doesn’t help that every time I mention “ship” (referring to the Mayflower) they think and say and expect to do something involving the Millennium Falcon. the downside of having cool kids!
That’s been my week, trying to keep up with laundry and a clean house and sort out boxes and spaces in the meantime. What a process! I did manage to get my Thanksgiving wreath done though, next year will be better with the decorations!

Last week was a whirlwind of unpacking and decorating, that is to say that the living room/dining room/kitchen & the boys bedroom got almost completely done in record time.
We’re still lacking a couple rugs and getting the boys’ wall art and closet sorted out, but that should be taken care of this week.
The big deal is that Jaron had his birthday party on Saturday!!
My little big guy, so bittersweet to watch him grow into more of a little boy and less of a baby.
His verbal skills are ahead of the curve both in vocabulary and enunciation so we are often caught by surprise by what is going on in his little brain and that he can express himself so clearly. He keeps up with Aedyn as much as possible and is quite the climber and balancer.
He’s been fully potty trained night and day for a couple months and stopped breastfeeding (much mixed emotion there!) last month.
Hope that all ya’ll had awesome weeks as well, don’t forget to link up!!

I posted last week and promptly forgot to add it to the linky…go figure.
And I completely forgot this week until the awesome Tara sent me the linky and reminded me.
I have an excuse though.
I’m a little preoccupied. As of tonight we are officially moved!
The last load was put into the car and the last counter scrubbed. We’ll go back up tomorrow and turn in our keys when we vote. Woohoo and we’ll be done!
Until we get home and have to unpack and get settled by Jaron’s birthday party on Saturday.
All pure books, and this is not even all of them…there were 6 more boxes still hiding in the apt!
He had a wonderful birthday, my dad took the boys and toured something like 4 different playgrounds throughout the day, took them to lunch and all of us to dinner and fro-yo. And all I know is the boys were thrilled that T-COM took care of them all day and they slept like rocks that night. I on the other hand woke up to full body cramps and wound up spending my “extra hour” of sleep on the couch waiting for Advil to kick in. Ugh, can we say out of shape much?
So that ‘s it, now to get busy and do something with the walls of boxes all over the place!!!
