Santa’s Tiny Helper

This week is Christmas dress-up days at school, with a different Christmas-themed outfit every day. We have stuff for Emerson for every day, but Addison is only doing a few of the days… But today was Christmas hat day, so Emmie wore this Santa hat we picked up over the weekend at the Dollar Tree. She looked like Santa’s Tiny Helper!

Christmas Tree & Recovery

We’re alive! After almost four days of blog-silence, I’m checking in really quick tonight with a super simple recap post, just to say we’re alive, but just barely. Last Friday, Addison had a little stomach bug. Then it hit me late Saturday night, and then it finally got Jeff on Monday. I stayed home from church and work Sunday through Tuesday, and am just now on the tail end of things, feeling better and more like myself, after a three-day stomach bug & recovery…

So let’s start with tonight, because Emmie and I got the Christmas tree finished up, after starting it on Saturday morning. She was SO proud of it, and this photo was taken when she just quietly walked over and stared up at it for a few minutes, and was actually not posed at all. (I need to rearrange a few of her ornament clumps, but she was a super sweet helper and did a good job helping me.)

Thanksgiving 2021

We have had a great Thanksgiving! So much good food (obviously) and the best time with both of our families. It’s almost 10pm already though, so let’s just basically photo-dump & run… This “My first turkey day” was Emerson’s outfit four years ago, and even though it’s a size 3-month, it still fits Addison 🙂

Peanut Butter Ramen

So today was supposed to be Emmie’s dentist appointment, after last week’s hoopla… But CVS never actually filled the prescription we needed, so we still didn’t get to go again today, which we didn’t even realize until first thing this morning. So Emmie was sad for a bit, but I reassured her again that we’d reschedule, and I promised her she’d get to go to the dentist soon. What a mess… But she perked up when I let her pick out her own outfit for school, including the Halloween pants and Halloween Paw Patrol shirt

Fend For Yourself Night

After a fun 3-day weekend of camping, we were back to school and work today. When we drove past our local high school and Emmie realized there was no traffic, and I told her the big kids weren’t at school this week, she was not thrilled that she had to go, but we still had a nice easy drop-off. And look at this crazy yellow coloring and sky and clouds and everything!
