The Queen’s Chronicles 2016
It was a fun week here as I finally made another step forward with one of the things on my house checklist! We also celebrated Dillon’s birthday and watched lots of basketball. See how it all unfolded.
I have seriously wanted to remove the box light for probably at least 10 years and finally this week it happened! Just waiting for the drywall guy to come and finish it all up. We also removed the funky light above the sink and added these two pendants. . I am loving that I can actually see to clean dishes!
While the electricians were working in the kitchen I was working in my bedroom. It is also time for our annual budget process so busier than usual.
I celebrated with my new favorite snack: sprouted bread, avocado & tomato. Seriously can’t stop thinking about it! Thanks to Karli at September Farm for turning me on to this!!
My girl called from school and was not feeling herself. We decided mani/pedis were just the right solution!
After reading some other blogs, I decided to attempt cutting my blanket scarf in half. Now I have 2!
Now isn’t that better?
It is now an option to wear more than one way!
Carly still wasn’t feeling 100% so it was extra snuggle time with Dutch and he was good with it.
We were off to the doctor by 10:30.
This girl…she cracks me up! When they ask how bad her throat hurt here response was “barely”. Really? I told her next time I would just give her $30!
I’m pretty sure she just had allergies and that was causing her throat to hurt so we just took it easy and snuggled on the couch all day.
Dutch was very interested in what we were up to.
I’m working on figuring out my Nikon wifi and taking pictures with the camera from my phone. It si so much fun!
Grateful for wisdom and after one week definitely think this is a positive change but it will take some adjusting. After 4 days of getting up at 4:45 I was ready for bed!
Friday was Dillon’s birthday but he had a basketball tourney in a nearby town. Thankfully his bestie was also playing in the same tourney so we were able to have a little McJanac dinner celebration after their games!
What a surprise late Friday night when this boy showed up! I was super excited to see him as was his baby sis. I’m obviously cheating with this picture that was actually taken on Saturday!
Back to basketball on Saturday morning and the boys finished up 2-1 in the tourney. They played really well together and I am pretty sure Dillon had career high points. Such a difference to see him play with confidence!
Carly sat through one basketball game but was super excited to spent the rest of the day hanging with her bestie!
I rarely head to our local mall but Mom and I ventured out and I found several things at American Eagle on the sale rack that were an additional 60% off! I was super excited.
My mom came up for Dillon’s birthday and Dutch seriously reacts to her the same way my kids always have. He typically follows me around everywhere but when Nana is here he is all about her. It could possibly be because she feeds him constantly.
My view for the night….glass of wine and all my favorite people in my living room! Well..Dillon was here and just turned in early.
Obviously all my boys were tuckered out!
Sunday morning the boys were duck hunting which meant this girl and I snuggled for hours with Dutch reading and listening to praise music. #messyhairdontcare
It was a good morning duck hunt for these two! I just love they are enjoying this little hobby together!
We met the boys for lunch at Ninfas and this bowl of tortilla soup was perfect for the cool winter day!
Lots of grocery shopping and meal prepping all afternoon and then we grilled up burgers for dinner. Giving up the bun has really just not been that difficult for me. 2nd week down on the “Fat Furnace” challenge…..I’ll work on a little post this week with some more details.
We ended our week playing Heads Up and let’s just say….we may not have followed the rules to a T but were definitely were dying laughing and had a blast. It was the perfect ending to our week.
