Week in the Life | Friday

Here are Friday's photos and stories…

Woke up to pouring rain. I actually really welcomed it. Cozy coffee/computer time.

She was up early and in the shower for dance this morning…
Max was also up early for soccer because they had concussion baseline testing before their first session. Brushing his teeth…bathroom still steamy from Alli's shower. Times like these I wish we had another bathroom.
Doing her bun for dance. She loves that she can do these herself now (and so do I).


Catching up on some computer work with two dogs under my feet…

Also catching up on laundry…
Brandon mowing the lawn in the rain...

Soccer was cancelled for the day so no cookout so Alli and I went out for dance/school errands. First up was Staples for school supplies. She is so excited that she needs a binder this year. Picking out a color was a hard decision…


Then back to Twinkle Toes for lyrical shoes…
Happy girl with fresh school supplies…off to put them in her back pack!


Flipping through the dance supply catalog picking out the rest of her leotards…she needs 3 more black ones. (Also breaking in her new lyrical shoes)


And finally relaxing on the couch with Al:)

Thursday's photos and words…

This morning Al and I ran errands for work and I forgot my phone and camera:(

Picked up the soccer carpool at noon…

Alli asked for a muffin tin for lunch…

Helping make cupcakes for soccer cookout tomorrow…freshman have to bring dessert. Cracking the eggs is her favorite…

Finally the letter from her teacher has arrived with the school supply list…

And Brandon got this cool poster from the Envision program he went to earlier this summer…
Alli dancing for me in the kitchen…a very common sight! She is getting ready for her first solo rehearsal tonight and is super excited…
Took a few minutes to look at Pinterest this afternoon while having my afternoon coffee…looking for senior photo inspiration…

Brandon started mowing the backyard…
At adagio for solo rehearsal…

Stretching with her flexistretcher while we watch Big Brother…











Week in the Life | Wednesday

Wednesday photos and stories…

Totally forgot to pick up my camera until about 11:30 am this morning!

Home from an early work meeting and snapped a selfie with Alli…
Some epic bed head going on this morning. Watching Once Upon a Time on Netflix on her Kindle on the stairs...

She finished her blanket this morning…
She made her own lunch…cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese. Wrapped in blanket still watching a show on her kindle...


Home from his morning session of soccer and relaxing in bed watching the Office on Netflix…
She is the slowest eater in the world and loungers at the table…
Helping me make play dough for the upcoming fall festival this weekend…

Long overdue mopping…
A relaxing afternoon…soccer double sessions are kicking Max in the behind…

A common sight…teenage boy peeking in fridge for something to eat:) Just got home from golf.
Dropping Max off early for the second soccer session of the day as I head into parent meeting.

A glimpse at Brandon working…

In the car heading home from work…

But first a stop for ice cream…

Al ordered the Nuwave and it arrived today so he had to try it out…burgers for dinner…

More Office for Max before bed…

Week in the Life | Tuesday

Tuesday's words and photos…

Dishwasher often gets loaded early in the morning. 

I've been dealing with an infection in my foot from an injury I got on the dock at the lake. So antibiotics for me…

10:19 am and Alli is still sleeping…



Making the bed…

while drying my hair Alli woke up and joined me in my room…

Doing some math problems and reading before electronics…Just starting this now in the last two weeks of summer vacation, I have to admit.


Smoothies for lunch, as always…


Brandon getting ready for his first day of school golf…

Alli and I ran several errands this afternoon…first up a trip to Twinkle Toes for new leotards for dance..
Then Dick's, Michaels, and lastly Hobby Lobby where Alli bought some fleece to make a blanket…

We headed straight to work to do the cleaning and she worked on her blanket and watched videos on her iPod…

And finally home for dinner…spaghetti and caesar salad.
