WEEKEND HIGH.

We had a great weekend around here. Lots of daydreaming, thoughts of someday, eBay searching, cleaning, painting, and taking care of littles. These are the kinds of days that fuel me....the dreaming, planning, creating....its all so inspiring and breaks the monotony of my day-to-day life. Half my house is spit-shine clean, the other half is a disaster. But if I focus on the clean half, that makes me even more happy. I'll finish up the rest throughout the week. Just in time for today's clean parts to be dirty again. But I've come to accept that as my fate these days. It's just impossible to clean my entire house in one day anymore, and it's never gonna stay clean for long. But I also know that there will be a day when I will miss the mess, when my littles will be biggers, and I will long for them to come home and make a mess of my house. So today I will embrace it. Toys spilled everywhere and questionable stickiness on my floors.

I am ready to jump into the week that lies ahead, both feet at the same time. We have had an absurdly long hiatus from our usual activities, and this week they all FINALLY resume. Can I get an Amen sista? After a six week long 'holiday' break from school, Nugget asked me the other day at breakfast 'Mama, do I go to school anymore?' Aww, poor girl. You sure do. And we'll be back at it this week! Along with dance and story time at the library...can't wait! Get me out of this house!

Anyways, here's what's kept us busy this past week or so...

Nugget got to go on her first ice fishing adventure with Daddy. Her highlight was naming Daddy's decoys (Debbie Decoy and Sally Sucker, creative if I do say so myself) and eating caramel corn in the spear house.

Sadly, they didn't get any fish that day, but Nick did spear this fella later in the week. Gross.

I loved my new Christmas card display this year, but was not sad to see it go. Decluttering just feels so darn good sometimes.



Brother was extra messy at meal times this week...

And Nugget and I shared some pants...

I'm in the market for a new camera lens, more specifically a wide-angle lens, and we had fun playing around with one I rented for the week. 



We were getting pretty stir crazy during the week, so the kids indulged in a little mid-day bath.

 It was lots of fun, but Brother let me know when he'd had enough...

I found him sleeping like this one night...

Nugget and I enjoyed a little baking...



And bedtime snacks don't get much better than muffins still warm from the oven, spread with melted butter and a cold glass of milk.



There's still time to enter my GIVEAWAY, I'll be back tomorrow to announce the winner! In the meantime, have a happy Monday!
