High: On the way out of town, I took the twins to the doctor because they had been coughing for weeks. She prescribed an anti-biotic for them both, and we avoided a trip to the Wichita Urgent Care. 🙌🏻
Low: Forgetting to bring my big camera and thus only having phone pictures. 😣
Low: Forgetting to bring my big camera and thus only having phone pictures. 😣
High: Getting to meet my newest nephew, Reed, who is a dreamy, precious, six-week-old love bug.
High: We hit up the Exploration Place with lots of the cousins, which was a great way to get out of the house and have some fun. (The Superhero exhibit was William's favorite!)
High: I made Pumpkin Spice Lattes for the girls with some of the leftover pumpkin puree. The latte part was my favorite. Keeping it classy since 1981. 👊🏻
High: Baby Mae, my super adorable niece, was quite attached to this beer bottle.
Low: When we took the bottle of beer away from Mae, she got sad.
High: Hitting up the park on Thanksgiving day with gorgeous weather - a great way to keep the kiddos out of the kitchen.
High: John not dying as he scampered across this playground equipment.
High: Licking beaters.
High: So many people and things to be grateful for. It is staggering when I think of all the blessings, both good and hard, and ultimately, the people. I'm just so thankful. We had a lot of good food and about 29 people to eat it with, so it was a delightful meal to be sure.
High: John letting the kids cover him with leaves. Such fun for everyone. Maybe less fun for John, but he was a good sport about it. 😜 (can you spot his feet?)
High: Having all the cousins together.
Low: Trying to get all the cousins to look at the camera and smile at the same time.
High: Discovering that Mae's knees are actually just beluga whales on her legs.
High: Playing lots of cards, especially with these ladies.
Low: Not getting enough sleep cause I kept playing cards and talking. Oh, and eating.
Low: John leaving on Friday to get back to some of the CFA Black Friday madness. He did get donuts to take back to our team, and the kids and I got some to take back to the house.
High: The kids getting to meet my brother's giant cat who is super friendly. (His cat that only has one eye stayed hidden.) It meant more Mae cuddles for me.
Low: I lost my keys in a field of wood chips. As we started looking, my brother-in-law said, "I hope we don't have to look so long that this turns into its own blog post." 😂🙈🤣 Thankfully, Ellen found them about 3 minutes in.
High: Cousin gift-exchange. Crazy times. Reed slept through the whole thing. My kids definitely did not.
High: Movie night. Thor Ragnarok. Loved it.
High: Getting to catch up with this dear friend from high school.
Low: The twins waking before the crack of dawn each morning claiming they couldn't see because it was dark. 😠😑
High: I found my little bookworm introvert like this on multiple occasions.
Low: In a backyard full of grass, the kids liked to play in the dirt. Because of course.
High: Ringing in the Christmas season!
Low: Again, trying to get a picture of everyone together. (notice the arm and the nose picking)
Low: I drove the kiddos home by myself yesterday. It honestly wasn't that bad and so many things have gotten so much better. But, there were some terrible stretches - especially the one when William desperately needed to go to the bathroom. This resulted in a stop on the side of the road, an accident in the car and then him accidentally peeing on me while I changed his pants in the McDonald's parking lot. That was all in about 30 minutes.
But, we made it home, and we clearly had a good week, and I am truly so grateful. (and tired)
