So…

Bryce started his new job this week.

He went from coming at home at 2:30 to working till six and half days on Saturday.

I’m checking Amazon to see what their options for big girl panties are.

Obviously I’m having them sent to me.

I have to be efficient with my time as a seasonal single parent.

In other news, we’ve had a brief break from inclement weather which has helped with everyone’s attitudes.

And then we got struck with a seasonal cough so anything that is happening outside the house is dead to us.

We cycle quickly.

Libby and I were having a day last Saturday morning, so Elizabeth took her to make brownies in a mug.

I thought this one was fun, although super blurry.

This one is blurry also because there was some miscommunication with the three year old about which direction he was to be jumping.

Playing Polly Pockets.

Don’t worry, I realize they’re a chocking hazard.

So, the Instagram class I’m following is encouraging some low light practice.

Hence Libby and the fridge.

Actually, Libby always plays in the fridge, I just thought a picture would be appropriate this time.

I got an electrical spool for free when I was at Home Depot last so I was arranging it with some metal outdoor chairs my neighbors gave me.

And since my kids were forced to do some time outside, Meg put together a tea party…with caffeine free Dr. Pepper and some grapes.

This is not scripted.

I’m sure your last week and a half has been awesome…as only a week without me can be…

Let me know what you’ve been up to or if you have anything fun going on,

Katie
