~For some crazy reason I always think I am going to get ALL caught up (and even ahead) of things over the weekend. Never happens. Ever. This weekend was somewhat relaxing though, if you consider hustling for Halloween clearance heals at Target relaxing. I wasn’t feeling so hot this weekend so I’m telling my mom about my headache, necklace, how my face hurt, etc. I of course thought I was dying of some rare not yet discovered illness and she’s all, oh did you take some sinus medication? Umm, no. So of course I did yesterday and already feel better. #genius

~I know I say this all the time, but I am totally shocked at how much L has learned in kindergarten in the what, two months, since he started?  It’s amazing.  And when he has downtime at home (and before bedtime), he’s always asking to read on Raz-Kids.  He’s excited about doing homework, loves going to school and is so proud to share with us what he’s learned.  Someone please tell me how I can keep him this excited for the next 12 years!  Please!

Not sure why B's wearing shorts.  It wasn't warm this weekend.

~Did anyone else see the What Does the Fox Say parody on SNL this weekend? If not you can see it here. I was cracking up. It’s possible I like it even better the original (which is growing on me since B and L both sing it constantly). While helping to get my clearance goodies in the cart at Target Saturday, L busts out with “What Does the Fox Say” and some lady at the checkout next to us busts out back with the “Fraka-kaka-kaka-kaka-kow!”. We were cracking up.

~I’m not sure what’s coming this week box wise, but like I mentioned yesterday I am thinking we’ll be getting November PopSugar spoilers this week! Also, my Jennifer Love Hewitt Fancy Box should be arriving tomorrow and I am super excited to see what she’s selected this month.

~I stumbled into chalkboard sticker labels these at Target this weekend and am already plotting how I can use them. Maybe on small gifts wrapped in craft paper? Small candles? Not totally sure but I loved them so much I couldn’t pass them up!

~We have lots going on this week. B should be home late tonight, but has his normal schedule the rest of the week.  L has tomorrow off school (it’s election day in MI and lots of precincts are at schools which is clearly a safety issue for the kids) and is headed to the movies with his Nana.  And then on Wednesday after school we are headed to Build-A-Bear which I am super excited about!  Should be a fun week here!

~That’s about it from here this morning.  What’s going on for you this week?  And how was your weekend?

Spread the love

    We have Raz-kids for our school to and N loves it. Not every school here does it so we are lucky. All N wants to do is go outside and play when he gets home. The neighbor kids who he rides with are all a little older and actually start their homework in the car so they can get outside faster. LOL Their mom will let them out if they have a good start on their work done. 😉 so they have a system down now. Fall is so great weather wise but I won’t be happy that its dark so fast now. 🙁

      Those kids are smart! I dread when we will have to be doing nightly homework. Ugh!

      OMG it was so funny!

    I’m cracking up about the picture with B wearing shorts. In Wisconsin it’s not uncommon to see boys still wearing shorts and riding their bikes when there is snow on the ground. Craziness!

      I guess you can take the boy out of Wisconsin, but you can’t take the Wisconsin out of the boy!

    Hahaha I had not seen the snl skit before, that’s pretty funny! Even better is that the lady answered him in target 🙂

      I know. We were all cracking up. The cashiers thought it was great too!

    I think SNL is getting so good! This one and the Miley/congress parody were perfect. By the way, did you already announce the winner for Fall FabFitFun giveaway?

    I think using those chipboard stickers on packages is an excellent idea!

      I think I need to get more…

    The parody on SNL was funny. Loved it! I also love that someone joined in singing the fox song in Target. That must have been hilarious!

      It was so funny! We were all cracking up!

    When he starts to get bored with school bribe him. It will get you everywhere. It is how the real world functions, his job is school. When we work we do it to get paid. Eventually all kids get bored with learning for the sake of knowledge. When I say bribe I mean you must achieve this level to play video games….etc. if you rock the report card you get a bonus check a new game,a sleep over

      Good call!
