Friday Things
1. These boys are finally back to their happy, crazy, non-sick selves! Dominic ended up with a double ear infection at the end of last week but after two doses of meds he was back to himself. He also figured out how to climb up onto the couch on his own this week, which he is ridiculously proud of, ha!
We just ordered a “big boy” race car bed for Joseph, and he CANNOT wait. He’s been obsessed with cars for a few months now, and he keeps asking where his race car bed is, lol. It hasn’t arrived yet, but we’re hoping that getting something he’s super excited about will help with the transition from crib to bed!
2. On top of the nasty cold that everyone else had, I managed to snag myself a sinus infection, which explains why I started to actually get WORSE at the beginning of this week instead of gradually getting better. Ugh. However, after only one day on medicine, I was feeling much, much better. I had my 32-week appointment and we put in dates for my c-section, just waiting to be finalized through scheduling at the hospital. BUT! We’re at T-minus 7 weeks, give or take a day or two. Holy heck has this pregnancy flown by!
3. As a result, my attention has already turned to Easter, spring, and early summer, as I start to do some planning ahead for when the baby arrives. It also didn’t hurt that it was 60 degrees here yesterday! Joseph got to play outside at school, and I was able to run errands with the boys without bundling them up in jackets and hats. Win!
4. How insanely gorgeous is this measuring spoon set?

7. 27 Underrated U.S. Destinations Everyone Should Visit in Their Lifetime (pssst my beloved hometown made the list!)
8. Are you totally sucked in to the Olympics? We’ve been watching every night, love all of it! Favorite so far might be Shaun White’s gold medal run, so awesome!
9. Did you watch the season premiere of Homeland? It’s still on our DVR, we haven’t watched yet!
10. TGIF! I hope you have a spectacular weekend!
Loved that article you linked to about reasons today’s kids are bored, entitled, etc. Thanks!!
So happy you are on on the mend!! Homeland was really good! Off to a great start! Wishing you a great week!
Love all of you recipes and look forward to receiving them. Your family is lovely and so is your beautiful dog. Keep on doing what you do.
Shaun White totally blew my mind! Love the winter Olympics.
So proud you are finally feeling better.
So glad to hear that everyone is feeling better. Â My family has been hit with the flu – not across the whole of us (yet, praying it stays that way), but a couple of us have had it.
Those measuring spoons are gorgeous, but what gives them the insane price? Â I almost put them in the basket because they are so striking, but when I saw their price I thought no amount of gorgeous is worth $28 for measuring spoons. Â But they sure do look pretty and I love the pin that holds them together.
How about our Pens?! Â Playing some great hockey right now. Â We were at the game when MAF returned. Â Those tickets were my Christmas gift, and I have to say they were the best gift ever. Â However, it was a much harder game than I anticipated . . . . Â I could not cheer against MAF who is my all time favorite, and I could not cheer against my Pens . . . .UGH.
Ack I hope you all feel better, Michelle! The flu is so bad this year! Pens are playing insane, it’s crazy! And what a game to be at, awesome! I was actually rooting for him to win (and to score that ever-elusive empty net goal, ha!)
Best picture of the boys!! Duke is pretty handsome,too.
