I'm just going to put it out there - you might have seen some of these pictures if you are following me over on Instagram. It's been a pretty busy couple of days!
So excited - I'm seeing my BFF in just a couple of days. We are heading to Legoland (we surprised the boys on Christmas morning), and her family is going to meet up with us on New Year's Eve. We haven't ever really lived near each other - we met back in college - so I'm SO EXCITED to see her!!!
Yes, I broke the washer. I know it was me since I'm the one that tried to wash 2 kids' comforters and towels at the same time. It threw the basket off balance, made a horrible sound, created a burning smell, and completely died. It was a good washer - lasted 10 1/2 years with our family of 5. So last night we had to take the boys and go washer shopping. Found a great deal on a top ranked model that fit our price range. It'll be delivered next week… so today I'll be hauling our laundry to my parents (just like I used to do back in college - but x5).
This is my word wall in my kitchen. A couple of new things were just added - that "Do Small Things with Great Love" was a gift from a student. Hubby also added a hook to hold up the aprons - yes, plural. The boys have camouflage ones for those messy spaghetti dinners and when they help me cook, and then I have my apple and sunflower ones. The aprons have just been hung on a pushpin before now - I love how it took me 10 years to think of something so simple.
All 3 boys had their first official brother sleepover last night. My youngest was so excited that he was finally big enough to join them. I didn't wake them up when I took the picture. :) These past days have been so busy keeping them occupied and trying to clean.
This was us on Christmas morning. The kids rushed downstairs (after I made them wait until 7… 5:15 was just too early!)
For Christmas I was blessed with a lot of Massage Envy gift cards. It was the only thing that I really had on my wish list (if you don't count a flat iron). A while back they were having a special - buy 2 gift cards get a free one, and my dear husband and parents picked up the deal. So I had a "free" one yesterday, and will have another "free" one in January - (the free ones expire in January).
The days have been filled with Legos…
Here's our official Christmas picture. Little bits did NOT want to get in the picture.
We also had fun painting the extra glass ornaments.
… and my oldest has been cooking us dinner.
I'm loving this family time! Hope you have a great day!
