Dear Monday

please go easy on me…

it was a great weekend…

family, food, decorating, shopping, more family and lots more food…..i feel 10 pounds heavier….i should of stepped away….but i am weak….and there was pie.

so today i am hoping to be productive…i have a big “to do” list…don’t we all?! hoping to get a jog in…brisk walk in my case…me running is not a pretty sight….but it needs to happen.

monday

a couple of weeks ago the kids got to work on a little note for their daddio…….his 2nd job is teaching a course at a local college…which means he leaves the house before 5am and doesn’t get home until after 7pm….2 nights out of the week….he sees the kiddos for about 15 minutes before they fall asleep….most nights Cooper is already out.

so Monday nights is breakfast for dinner night….pancakes, bacon and fruit….they think it’s wonderful.

we’ll get in pjs early…(why not, its dark by 4:00!) and they each grab a stack of books….we snuggle in my bed and read and read until bedtime…..i think it’s wonderful.

you definitely have the cutest Mondays anywhere! We used to have a breakfast for dinner night once/week too - we all loved those nights, so much fun ...

BTW, that last photo with the drawing of your family in front of the house is frame-worthy ... what a classic, it's absolutely adorable!

I love that you read in bed and snuggle all evening. I get so caught up in my day that I don't do this enough with my little one. Thank you for the reminder....I am trying to remember to do more things like that! :)

We too are doing simple fun things around here. Baths in our big soaking tub are the favorites right now. I think we'll be enjoying lots of popcorn and holiday movies in our jammies in the next few weeks.
