Our 3-day Columbus Day weekend has just begun, and I am psyched to spend a lot of time at home and with the kids. I'm hoping to work on the final frontier, aka our home office, which is the last space in our new home that isn't organized and put away. And, I would like to either start painting (yeah, right) or at least pick out the paint color for Andrew's room, that would be good.
As far as an update on our health, which was a big chunk of my last post- Cale and Molly are off of their antibiotics and feeling fine. The only one who is under the weather is Andrew, which had small liver lining- I had to take Tuesday off and spend the day with him. I heart the days when I can be a SAHM.
Here's my poor little guy, very snoozy that day. He seems to be improving.
Partially due to this new addition. Probably the 5th humidifier I've purchased in the last 12 years. If there is one thing I miss about our old house, it would be our whole-house humidifier that was hooked into our forced air heating system. I will miss it this winter when the air gets dry!!! At least Andrew has this new snazzy humidifier, works really nice.
I have spent a little bit of time over the last week or two decorating for the fall, which might be more than decorating for Christmas!
(in case you were wondering, yes, I have had to clean up these leaves several times from Emily scattering them wherever. Yes, they are currently on my floor. Yes, it is worth it cuz I love the way it looks.)
Those would be spider lights.
I left my dead plant, to add to the spooky effect!
I have a leaf throw pillow. And it's awesome.
Also notice the original couch artwork by Emily. She also defaced our ottoman and her entire body, scalp to toe nails. SCALP TO TOE NAILS. grr.
But Saturday improved. Keep reading.
On to fooooooood :)
Made this lemon chicken romano on Saturday and it was ahhhhmazing. Will definitely be doing it again. It tasted super fresh. Chicken and lemon is a great combo, I always felt that way.
Those are crescent rolls. And frozen white rice w/ veggies. I'm just keepin' it real.
Then, Saturday night post-dinner, we did early bath and mani-pedis with the girls. And it was awesome!!!
Sunday we played outside and took selfies--
And Monday, I prepared some food for the week.... I also wanted to make this AMAZING mac and cheese in advance, but it didn't happen. I take comfort in knowing I have all the necessary ingredients in the house. Basically I kicked ass the last time I went grocery shopping.
So I think I prepped this stuff on Monday and didn't actually make it until Thursday, but again, it was a stress-reducer knowing it was there and ready!!! Even if I got sick of seeing it on my counter. This week, we had girl scouts and dance, so it was one of the busier nights. Which reminds me, we have a non-girl scout cookie fundraiser for girl scouts. I'll have to post it on here and on Facebook. A little annoying, but hey, if you were going to buy a magazine subscription or candy anyway, you could buy it through Molly. Gosh, I hate fundraisers!!! Necessary evils, they are. Except girl scout cookies. That's not really a fundraiser, it's more of a public service.
