Father’s Day was a little bit of everything. More tie dye because I am crazy, food shopping, which included a checkout lane scramble to get ground beef for lunch, Harry Potter game that put Robin into the depths of despair, amazing french toast for dinner, and Robin Hood Men in Tights to top it off.…

It was a pretty boring day, but the kids had fun with my DSLR and even took some nice shots. I finished most of the machine sewing on my advent calendar. Next comes the ornaments and then the finishing. I may just get it done in time for this Christmas. I started it two Christmases…

Christina and I played hooky today. We had plans to go paddling, but it rained, so we went to see the movie, If, instead. It was a good movie, but I cried from the opening credits all the way to the very end. So emotional! I also figured out the twist way early, but it…

A day late, but we went out to celebrate Robin’s first back handspring ever! And we capped off the evening with a couple games of Sushi Go – and I both lost miserably and won a game. I also had an awesome lunch with friends from chorus – so all in all a pretty good…

Things on my mind tonight: potential career moves, ice cream, cheerleading tryouts, tomorrow’s dance competition, knitting bunnies, baseball.

Robin had an Allstar Worlds sendoff performance tonight and all the girls left in tears as though they’d never see each other again. In two days.

I think I had a pretty good parenting day today. The phone situation with Robin is getting to a boiling point because she has retreated so far into it that she won’t go out with friends or even come out of her room, where she closes her blackout blinds and literally lives in darkness. I…

Christina had a dance competition and did pretty well. Her production dance is amazing and got a couple shout-outs on stage from other performers. It won first place and a golden egg, which really looks a lot more like a chicken than an egg. She said it was a duck… either way, not an egg,…

Did a lot for a day with no plans. The highlight for me was doing some sewing on my advent calendar, now in its third year of progress. For the kids it was making collages. When did magazines get so expensive? I bought two and it came to more than $30. I might as well…

It was a light day at work and a gorgeous day outside, so we took the dogs for a walk. It was probably the highlight of my day.

Not gonna lie, I am tired. Painting is taking FOREVER. I thought I’d be done on Tuesday. Tomorrow is Friday and I still have another coat to do. I don’t think my room is getting painted this week. But Robin’s room is 90% done and it looks AWESOME. We just need to hang her curtains…

I forgot what hard work it is to paint a room. It’s not just the physical act of painting that’s hard, but also the challenge of teamwork. While home improvement was part of my motivation this week, what I wanted more than that was time with my children, doing something together that we could all…
