Date Night

-
Last night was supposed to be date night for Brian and I (first time since Christmas I think), but after having 4 good days in a row, yesterday wasn't all that great. By the time Brian got home, I was worn out despite having done n.o.t.h.i.n.g. all day. We decided to grab some carry-out and try to catch up on Survivor. It's a well-known fact that I LOVE Survivor. I mean, seriously love Survivor. I know this is ironic considering the fact I could never actually participate in Survivor. You know Day 1 when they tell you to jump out of the boat and swim to shore? I'd quit right then and there. And I love Survivor the most when Boston Rob is playing. Yes, Brian is aware of my obsession and even enjoys him as well (although he doesn't get quite the same joy out of it that I do). So anyway, all that to say date night turned out pretty well after all. It was nice to have a few kid-free hours, relax, eat, and spend time with Brian. My parents had already planned to take Camden and Rory on their own date so we had the house to ourselves.

Oh, and if you're a fellow Survivor fan, please don't give me any Survivor finale results. I'm still under the false assumption that Boston Rob is going to win the whole thing. :) We have a couple of episodes left to watch.

My parents are on a field trip to the zoo with Camden and his first grade class today (heaven help them!) while Rory and I are enjoying a rare day alone. I've got the treadmill, cleaning the bathroom, making a fresh strawberry smoothie, and installing my new Photoshop Elements 9 on the agenda today. I find it funny that I just said Rory are enjoying a rare day alone. Two months ago, enjoying a day alone is all we did and now it feels like an occasion. Life sure can change quickly!

And look who's been scrapping this week!

We love Survivor too! I was a big fan of Matt since he was a Nashville boy, but you gotta love Boston Rob. Hope today is a better day - don't wear yourself out!

a night at home with no kids, take out , and Survivor?? I honestly can't think of much that is better than that!
I love Survivor, and no, I would NEVER want to play the game. Grant was a fave of mine this season, but I love Rob too!

yeah, we drv Survivor every Wednesday and when the kids go to bed we watched it. I have to say I liked Grant, Matt (even though he was too nice to play the game)and Mike. I'm not a fan of Rob. How have you went all this time and don't know who won?:) Hope today is better for you!

I am so impressed that you have the focus and energy to scrap! You are just as much a Wonder Woman as your sister. I am praying for your strength and that you will have many good days.

YAY for Survivor!!! I used to not be a fan, but now I'm totally hooked. And I'm a complete Boston Rob fan too. So smart and sneaky, and yet, you just can't hate him.

Seriously, you haven't had a date night since Christmas? You are way past due. Just let us know when.

Haven't kept up with Survivor this season. Looks like I've really missed out. You know your father-in-law would "survive" great and enjoy the challenge if it wasn't for dealing with the others! Ha!

Blogging, Not Blogging

Blogging feels awkward these days. Not blogging feels a bit like abandoning an old friend. In this season of life it doesn't feel necessary to jot down every cute quip (and that's only partially because they don't say nearly as many cute things). The kiddos (even that is strange - can I still call a 12 and 9 year old kiddos?) are more likely to say "don't put that on your blog!" Rory still likes the attention, but Camden is feeling the need for privacy. But they also still love to read my words. Not a week goes by that they don't pull out blog books from previous years and pore over the pictures and words. Rory giggles and retells the stories; Camden quietly takes in the tougher subjects. Here's the truth. I have less to share because life is both busy and unexciting at the same time. I cannot distinguish between what is important to remember and what will be meaningless in 20 years when Camden and Rory are grown with families of thei

Cousins, part 3 (the adult version)

-

So I'm notoriously bad about including adults in the picture when we're all together, and this trip was no exception. Here are the very few that include adults. Becky is always my test subject before the cousin photo shoots. At the baseball game (which was incredibly hot/humid and started nearly an hour late). Kids were pretty wiped out after their naps following the return from camp. (the adult who spent a week at camp might have been tired too) Camden had the camera and took these pictures of me and Becky, Liz, and mom. Lewis/Hale/Derby/Lemons family - you're all caught up!

7/52: Pastel

This week's theme was pastel and there's not a whole lot of pastel in our house, much less with my black-eyed, black-haired Korean gal. However, she gave me about 10 minutes of cooperation in 10 degree weather and we attempted a pastel snow picture. The first one is my official pastel picture, but I included the other attempts because it was pretty darn fun. This is a new face I'm seeing often these days. By the way, she has 3 shirts underneath this dress, a pair of pajama pants and a pair of hot pink sweat pants. LOL
