Here's a little life update dump. Mostly the end of February, honestly, how is February 3 days long and January lasts a decade? Anyway, here's what we've been up tp.
Velcro dogs might be a cute moniker for what is happening, but it when I'm cooking or walking through the many doorways in our 1940's style home... it gets annoying. Maybe it's just my mood today just thinking about it, or maybe it is the fact that Honey has been acting up and being an awful teenage dog lately. I think I took this photo in humor, but after the mess that puppy has been making... the humor has been sucked dry.
I'm going to be so sad when the kids graduate from KidStrong. I know I bring it up a bunch, but the character development side of it is 1000% worth it.
For my birthday we checked out the new Fish Box restaurant in Lafayette and then wandered around the Asian Market. If you are wanting a quick in and out, this is the way to go. I really liked that I could pick a variety and not have just one or two rolls.
We had the opportunity to go fishing at our friend's pond over the break. I don't know what has changed in Harrison that made him like fried bass, but we get excited about any new food he takes on. The boys being at an age where I'm not constantly fretting that they will fall into a body of water or a fire is so nice. Until Elliot hit 5, there were many camping trips and water experiences where I was certain I would be fishing a child out of water.
Seriously, I wrote about it years ago, but Harrison wasn't listening to instruction and slipped at the Cahaba River and we both went under. A friend's husband had to fish us both out. Thank goodness for her big ole firefighter husband, I don't think I would have been able to easily get us both out of that rushing river.
To celebrate Harry turning 11, we took a few of his friends to Urban Air. It definitely isn't priced to been a common occurance, but it is definitely worth it for special occasions.
Last but not least, just another family date night with an 11 year old that can do without photos.
Oh man, looking at my poor little mini van in the background, that was before I was rear ended by a brand new dirver at a red light 😢. Seriously, I was the second car at a dead stop for several minutes and was just randomly hit after the driver had been sitting behind me at this light. The light went for so long that I got out of my car twice trying to figure the situation out and the light was still red.
When it rains it pours I guess, the same day I was rear ended (thank goodness that is covered by insurance) Jeremy's truck started acting up... and we've been fussing with our dryer. Murpy's Law is always so much fun.
