Happy weekend! I didn’t quite get to this yesterday, but better late than never! Here are a few of our fun moments lately:
ONE. Michael ended his work day a few hours early yesterday, and took Kaya and Kaelyn on a hike! They went to Bald Knob, which was about 2 miles up and back, and not too difficult for the kids. Kaya snapped about a hundred pictures and kept remarking, “Wow, it’s just so beautiful!” I love how the beauty of nature is even more greatly magnified in a child’s eyes.
They also loved taking pictures together.
There were some “Instagram Influencers” up there who ended up getting a few awesome photos of Michael and the girls. I love this one!
I love that they were able to have this special Daddy-daughter time.
The views are breathtaking, even in pictures.
TWO. We have a pretty strict rule about no kids crawling into our bed at night, and no leaving their rooms without permission. Still, Eve is ready to run out of her room every morning at the earliest permissible moment. She loves to cuddle up, ask a bunch of questions, and play songs on her favorite puppy toy, who she named “Buddy”, after my parents’ dog.
She insisted on wearing two foam rollers to bed. We insisted that she already has naturally curly hair, to no avail, obviously. She’s the spice of life.
THREE. We’ve still been doing house projects, and lately, the focus has been our own room! It’s something I put on the back burner for too long.
Michael built some new dressers, and Little Man was all excited watching the drill. He’s ready to help Daddy!
It’s not done yet, but I’ve been enjoying this room. Having a calm space to relax in makes all the difference.
FOUR. More house things (are you bored yet? I actually love all this)… This week, I got to have a night out with my friend Jennie to browse for bathroom floor tile! It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, and lucky for me, she has experience with flooring. We just looked around for ideas, but I’m still so excited!
I am really loving these white hexagons. They’re timeless!
Of course, I had to trick Michael and tell him I was thinking of getting these pebble tiles, which would make for the most interesting (and difficult) bathroom floor I’ve seen. He was baffled, but he didn’t say no right away. Haha!
FIVE. I keep getting all these throwback photos of my baby boy from exactly one year ago. There’s so much I never shared, so I can leave a little extra baby spam here now, right? Seriously though, he had the squishiest cheeks and sweetest lips. I miss this tiny little pumpkin!
Happy Saturday!
