~~~Is it summer yet? Because I’m already sick of all the cold weather laundry and it’s barely even begun to be cold.
~~~These pictures of baby Essie with a Mohawk make me say things like “wook at the boodee widdle boonieboodieawwwwww”
~~~And then looking at 6 year old Essie right after makes me realize that she’s lost all of her physical baby-ness and wahhhhh.
~~~I’m in Christmas denial. Even though I have a lot of presents bought/ordered already, I have a mental block. I added an “Indie Christmas” playlist on Google Play, but I haven’t even been able to open it yet.
~~~While I don’t mind cooking Thanksgiving dinner, I wish my kids would eat more than just the most basic, everyday items on the menu (like plain turkey and biscuits).
~~~Related: my fourth grader still wants to bring his “sack” lunch when they have their “Thanksgiving feast” at school. I’m pretty sure the girls would love to be able to eat that school offering.
~~~I’m ridiculously excited about only getting the kids to pack two lunches for school this week.
~~~My kids are ridiculously excited to see The Good Dinosaur in the theater this week. They’ve only been seeing previews for nine months.
~~~I have very mixed feelings about this school year being nearly half over already and Ervin being in full day kindergarten next year. It will be so nice to actually have time to do things during the day (vs two and a half hours between drop-off and pick-up) but I really like hanging out with him in the mornings, and he’s really really good when I take him on errands and to appointments. And kindergarten is the basically the beginning of the end.
Excuse me, I have something in my eye.
What are your random Sunday thoughts?
That mohawk is so so cute and I feel the same way when I look at my little Ally and see how she''s stretching out and has lost all her baby fat. My son used to want to bring his own lunch too when they did the Thanksgiving feast at school. Even now he won't eat turkey – he's a prime rib person. I will have to take Ally to see the Good Dinosaur this coming weekend, she's been talking about nothing else… 🙂
I'm not sure when we're seeing The Good Dinosaur, but it MUST happen this weekend. In all honesty, I want to see it – but I more want to hear less from The La about seeing it.
I wish my kids would eat ANYTHING for Thanksgiving dinner. For the most part, getting them to eat anything at a big family dinner is…painful. And I just, kind-of, don't even bother. There will be dessert at some point – they'll get calories. And that's what's most important for a growing kid, right?
I'm SO THANKFUL that I don't need to pack lunches for the rest of the week.
