Happy Friday, friends! How is the end of another week again already? Is time flying by for anyone else?? Can we sit down and have coffee (tea for me)?
If we were having coffee...
...I would tell you that my sixth anniversary is tomorrow, and I'm super excited to get to go out to dinner with my husband, just the two of us. This is our once-a-year alone date and we always try to pick a really nice place to eat, which is something we never do anymore. We're going to try a new-to-us Italian restaurant that has a dessert tasting plate that I am totally going to order. Yes, I looked at the menu online and already know what I want to order, and for once, that includes dessert out (another thing I never do). I can't wait.
...I would tell you that in just a little while I'm going to have to take Greta to the doctor for her 15-month checkup, which is going to include shots. Poor little thing. She and Gus both recover themselves quickly after the initial round of screaming, but it still breaks my heart. A trip there is not my favorite activity, although I do like to see how much she's grown.
...I would also tell you that Greta has taken to spinning. As in, around and around and around in circles until she drunkenly falls over. Then she gets up and falls over again. It is absolutely hilarious, and she cracks herself up while she's going it. The funny thing is, Gus used to do the same thing at her age, though he could handle it better. He's going to be our roller coaster rider. She is not.
...I would confide that I am so ready for spring already. I am tired of being cold and needing a coat all the time, and for having to bundle up two extra people every time we need to run out the door. I want to wear sandals again and be able to enjoy being outside
...I would admit to you that I did not prepare any kind of Valentines for Gus's preschool class. Last year I totally forgot; this year I decided not to. He's three. They're all three. They don't know what a Valentine card is. You know what the scene was today? Lots of mommies running around with little cards while the kids did what they normally did- play. I'd tell you that I don't feel bad about this one.
...I'd share this fun looking book that I picked up at the library on Wednesday. I think it will be an interesting read- it's about how the littlest thing can change your idea of fashion and style. I'd ask you what you're reading.
...I would ask you to tell me how you are, and what your plans are for the weekend. I hope it's a lot of fun, and I hope I'll see you back here on Monday!
Oh fun! I hope you and hubby have a wonderful anniversary date:)
ReplyDeleteMorning! I'd love to have tea with you today. I'm currently drinking a cup as I write this. Well..after my little 2-day weekend during the week I am somewhat ready to start my work week. I switched with a co-worker so I am going to be working Fri-Wed straight! Whew..it's going to be rough. I am hoping to get more pouches made over the weekend probably not 5 but maybe at least 2 over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of nice to hear you aren't one of 'those' mommies. I mean it's great for them but you are right.. does a 3 y.o really know what a valentine's day card is? Plus, its nice they make it themselves. I remember my mother buying the cards and candy for me and I would write them out for my friends.
Hope you have a great weekend!
I would wish you happy almost-anniversary! I just clicked through the "suggested post" at the bottom to read about your wedding and my parents' was very similar. Around 40 people with a very simple dessert reception. Ours was a bigger affair and while it was an awesome day, what we reflect on most is the fact that we're married. Not the party.
ReplyDeleteI would tell you that I'm currently reading nothing! Shame on me. I need to find a new book.
I would tell you about an article I read this week about how French women dress. I think you'll find it interesting. http://parentables.howstuffworks.com/real-style/no-more-yoga-pants-how-dress-frenchwoman.html
Poor kiddo I hate shots!! Hopefully she will be spinning again in no time!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know how the book turned out to be. I am reading a book by Belgian writer Erwin Mortier. I've read one of his book, which was very beautiful, I love his style of writing.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! I hope you enjoy your dinner and dessert! AND night without kids (well, maybe hours) Stopping by from the linkup :)
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary I hope you will have a lovely one, my anniversary with my boyfriend is in February too and also 6 years!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!! I hope you and your hubby have a wonderful night out. My husband and I don't get out very much alone together so I know how wonderful and precious those moments are. xoxo
ReplyDeleteHappy almost anniversary! Also, I loved spinning when I was little-haha. You never know, I used to get dizzy and crack up too, but then I became a dancer later on (pirouettes and everything)...she might surprise you!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading The Gift of Asher Lev, sequel to My Name is Asher Lev, by Chaim Potok, both I've read before many years ago and loving all over again.
Hope the dr. appt went ok. :)
