This happens to me at least once a week at work. Depending on which co-worker it is, I’ll let them know it wasn’t me. We’re close like that 🙂 I’m in a recipe rut and have made tacos, spaghetti, and sandwiches for dinner the past 2 weeks. I’ve pinned a lot of recipes, but I’m completely unmotivated to make them, especially after a full day of work. If you have easy crockpot recipes send them my way and help a girl out! Lisa posted 5 ways to Dress-up Your Christmas Cards and I wan’t to try every one of them! How cute are these new stamps from the USPS? Anyone else have…

Halloween 2014
Anyone else experience a time change hangover? Surprisingly, the kids adjusted just fine but I went to bed at 8:30pm on Sunday night. I’m forcing myself to stay up past 9:00pm tonight so I can finish this post about our Halloween. It was 28 degrees on Halloween night. We went over to my parent’s house and my sister and her family came over too. We ordered pizza and hit up a few houses close by, but there was hardly anyone out and the few people that we did see were trick or treating in cars. Earlier in the day Ben’s class had a fall party and Jack’s school had a…

5 on Friday
This week has been a rough one. Jack had a fever most of the week from what I thought was just teething and a little cold. I took him to the doctor and it turns out he had an ear infection. Now that he’s on antibiotics he’s doing much better and thankfully his fever is gone. On top of a sick baby, work has been crazy busy hosting our annual conference, and I also helped with lunches during teacher appreciation at Ben’s school. I’m glad the week’s just about over and we can focus on having fun tonight and this weekend! Let’s get to my 5 for the week. One.…

How a Caterpillar (Almost) Ruined 1st Grade
Yesterday I posted this picture and how a caterpillar just like this one almost ruined 1st grade. Here’s what went down… Picture me in first grade, missing my bottom tooth, wearing awesome spandex shorts, and white Keds. It was recess and all of first grade was outside playing when I spotted a caterpillar about to get squished by some wild boys running around. Being the kind little kid I was, I picked it up, held it for a few minutes (no doubt admiring it’s furriness) and sat it in the grass…or so I thought. Well I guess the bug didn’t want to leave so instead of going in the grass,…

Weekend Recap
Well…this weekend didn’t end up going quite as we planned, but we made the best of it and managed to enjoy the almost 90 degree weather. Only in the midwest can it be 50 degrees one day and 90 the next. Friday night my in-laws wanted to keep the boys so J and I did what every other young crazy couple does on a Friday night; we got in our pjs, ate Chipotle on the couch, and rented The Purge Anarchy. Neither of us really love scary movies, but I guess we were in the Halloween spirit. Anyone else talk through scary movies to help you feel better? Saturday I…
