Cabin Fever

Does the title give it away? Yep. Sick of this cold weather...except when it allows for a 1000 start to work like last Friday...I'm cool with that. I know spring is right around the corner but containing our not-quite two year-old each weekend gets more and more difficult!! We drove around the Creek today and scouted out some new parks in hopes of sending some good-weather vibes Mother Nature's way :)

Despite the cold temps we managed to find some fun things to do this weekend around the house.

1.  We ate Nutella
a visual example of mommy's poor decision making
after he dominated a waffle, a sausage link. an entire banana...

2. We explored the bathroom and Mommy's makeup bag

Yep, it's just as mysterious to me, buddy
3. We organized the spice cabinet. And by "organized" I mean threw away about half of the jars because they were expired. I cook a lot.

He loved the peppercorns the most -- they made the most noise
4. We jumped on the bed


5. We jumped outside


6. We read A LOT of books

this was a pathetic attempt at capturing the light in our bedroom
7. Easton climbed all over everything...and I took the opportunity to capture a "Watch Me Grow" moment :)

8. He played in Rae's kennel -- I want nothing to do with that 


9. We had fun with the froggie on the wall

purpose of this shot: to capture that little cheek!

and then played peek-a-boo with daddy from behind the laundry bin
10. And then I took myself to the salon and did something about my hair!! (reference photo 6...YIKES)

I'm slowly getting the hang of how to use brushes.
photoshop brushes that is...the hair...lost cause...
it only looks like this after I leave the salon

So that pretty much sums up the weekend. The week felt like a blur after the three-day weekend and Friday's weather delay but I did manage to finish my first week of ProjectLife365. Yea. It's totally the end of February but you gotta start somewhere, right? Here's a look at what I came up with...totally lame that 50% of these shots were done in my officle (it's part office, part cubicle) at work...

Ugh. This is actually 16-22 Feb 13

  1. I am so with you on cabin fever...I have it so bad right now. The kids to do. I can not wait for spring and more importantly summer!! I am dreaming of swimming at the lake, and soaking up some rays. I could start with simply seeing the sun.

    Your hair is gorgeous! Love that curl.

    Fun pictures!

  2. LOVE THIS POST!!!!! It captures so much! All those little moments are so priceless!!! We are experiencing cabin fever as well. It was 36 degrees the other day, and my boys wanted to ride bikes. So we did. Through the snow and slush. It was epic :).

    Love your hair too!!!

Introducing...Easton Douglas Anders!

Easton Douglas Anders - 3 days old More pictures @ http://www.our365.com/ He's here, he's here!!!  Jace and I welcomed our son Easton Douglas to the world this past Saturday, April 16th at 4:22 PM and we couldn't be more proud.  It was an awesome experience...not so much in the "incredibly cool, can't wait to do it again" context but genuinely in AWE of how mother nature and modern medicine can work together to ease a woman and efficiently deliver a baby.  Before I tell you all a little bit about our story (again, no worries, I won't blast all the nitty gritty across your screen) I must say a HUGE thank you to our staff at Winchester Hospital.  Though I know not a single of of those doctors, nurses and other staff members will read this they will forever hold a special place in our hearts for the outstanding service and love they showed all three of us!!  They exceeded any expectations Jace and I might have had and just had to throw that out there. ...

My Bachelorette Weekend

Jace has been in MN since Thursday braving the cold with  Team Franchise at the 2011 US Pond Hockey Championship .  The team made it to Sunday again this year but unfortunately couldn't get by the "Pulled Hammies" this morning to advance to the finals.  Better luck next year, boys! :( So, since he's been gone I've been catching up on projects around the homestead since it's been so damn cold outside.  On Thursday night I scanned in about 80 old family photos that I had received over the years from my Aunt Kathleen.  I decided to do this because I'm building an online baby book for mini-Ma$e and you can add pictures - thought it'd be fun to add some old family photos.  Anyway, I won't overload you with too many but here are some of my favorites...the rest can be viewed here . Moving on... Friday started off with another snowstorm - excellent.  Hanscom was open for business...well, that is, for everyone ex...

Trunk or Treat 2013

We just got back from Trunk or Treating at Easton's daycare...how flippin' fun (and pretty roarsome as Henry Hugglemonster would say). Mr. Blondie waiting for the trunk or treating to begin! Still figuring out that the chocolate must be unwrapped first. No hurry to explain :) Homeless Lion with a Market Basket bag. Score one for the parents. Some pretty creative pumpkins!
