Sunday of baking and craziness

Sunday morning was so nice and calm. After a chaotic /hyper Saturday evening , I welcomed this morning. 

Everyone slept in until 7:45 (that's over 12 hours sleep for g man lol) but and then we decided to decorate some Halloween cookies. You can safely assume that every single one of those sprinkles found their way onto like three of those cookies haha. 

While he finished up there, I made a big pancake breakfast while Tyler and Keira giggled away on the playmat. It was really a morning like out of a sitcom--and it's so funny how you can go from needing a minute alone for your sanity to marvelling at how wonderful your family is.


After breakfast, the boys got dressed to go bring the diesel back to the yard and pick up the f150 to bring home again. 

Keira and I got dressed as well after they left. Here's what she decided to wear today:

When the boys got home, we cleaned the basement, did laundry, napped the baby, played , and we had a lunch of soup and grilled cheeses. 

Tyler got some book keeping done, and I went through Keira and Garett's closets and put the stuff that's too small away while Keira napped. 

We spent the afternoon playing and running around--a certain someone was very energetic (hint : it was not me lol)

Tyler took Keira to relax in a quiet room around 6, and Garett and I started on a chocolate cake and chocolate icing , to make Halloween shaped little cake treats for his daycare. 

Kid LOVES to bake, so he was pleased. However, as per usual , he made a huge mess of kicking the spatula and mixer, so while it baked , mr man took a big bath. 


After he was out, we "cut" the cake up and iced them and topped with some cute little bone candies, put them in a container and DONE. 


He went to bed after a quick three stories and three homework pages. 

Once g was tucked away, I laid out his costume and clothes for daycare, made my list of things to get at the store, did some dishes, switched the laundry over , filled bottles, pumped, washed bottles , sterilized bottles and took a shower. Keira had a bath and we all went right to bed. 

She had a quick half feed at 3:30 (this post is brought to you from that hour) and then I went back to sleep !!

Happy Halloween! And so begins this day--Garett's last words before falling asleep : "tomorrow, when it's night, it's Halloween and I am very excited. But some bad teenagers might throw eggs! Goodnight momma" bahaha I don't know where he learned the egg thing, but it sure made me laugh.

Life Lately

-Hosting Bearbrook Ladies night two weekends ago was wonderful! I put out a full charcuterie spread, made a mint/cranberry/grapefruit drink to share, and all of us received a tarot card reading, palm read and a facial read. Pretty much the reoccurring consensus between all three reads (it was two different people doing it) was that my heart and mind live in a state of conflict, but that it works for me to live in a state of balance. I deal mostly with logic and facts, and less with emotions; they think I would be good as an analyst (weird, since this is pretty well my role at work), and with numbers (which I also do all day at work lol). I'm stubborn and loyal and do not have a mean streak. That I am the same person at home as I am in social settings...blah blah blah. It was interesting! -Last weekend, we went out to Tyler's Disco Inferno show to celebrate our friend Jami and Donna's birthdays. We danced away (one of Keira's ECE's from daycare came out too!) and i...

-Garett went on his first friend play date ever , and he had so much fun. It was his two best friends that left daycare to start school last year. -happy that while Garett was at his play date, Tyler was home with Keira and I went out for a bit alone, then came home and we finished The Belko Experiment movie before I went to get him. (He was there for two hours) -sad that this week, Garett only has four days left at daycare :( Friday is Keira's first day, while I keep g home with me. Can't believe it's already almost school time!! -as a "goodbye" gift from g, we bought his daycare provider a necklace from peoples that is a heart with some Garnet stones in it (Garett's birthstone), to remember him by, and I ordered an Aukey essential oils diffuser , a doTERRA starter kit and an essential oils mixing guide recipe book thing. Hopefully she likes it. -Keira adapted SO well to putting herself down for her nap. She's down to one a day, and I just give...

Friday fun!

Thank God it's Friday, and that this week is O-V-E-R!!! -It was a stressful week at home. Looking forward to a fun weekend! -I am being audited for child care expenses in 2018--I'm not the only one that thinks we pay too much money in child care! LOL...I submitted my receipts online (they are catching up with the times and it's great!) and turns out I actually underclaimed by a few hundred dollars haha. -Tonight is calm, just hanging at home with the kids. -Saturday I have an eyelash appointment at 2:00, and then we have a sitter coming at 6:00 so we can go to a Wine & Cheese night up the road at our friends house. -Sunday is a day of rest until the evening when Shan comes over and we head into town to go to the Trailer Park Boys Christmas at the NAC (I bought Tyler and I tickets as an early Christmas gift). We are sitting pretty close, so I hope we don't get any of their nasty sweat on us lol -Monday I am off since the TPB thing only starts at 8PM, I didn...
