September is here!



Well, it's practically here. Where did August go? Where did the summer weather go? I don't care, it's Fall weather here in Nebraska and I hope it's going to stay well into November. Ahh, September, it's my favorite month...and not just because it's my birthday month 29 on the 9th, it's kind of a golden birthday-9/9/09, so that means extra gifts, right? Right.


We are very busy this month. This weekend is the first Husker game of the season, so my mom and I are getting out of dodge to visit my sister (I am displeased to learn that my brother in law is renting the game, I can't escape it!). We're going to a pirate festival, and a carnival, and to this awesome little kitchen store in downtown Independence. So excited for family fun. My nephew told me I can sleep in his bed, but only if I wear underwear...um, deal? Erich has many options that weekend, we have an engagement party in York, going to the game, watching the game...who knows how crazy he'll get while I'm gone?!


The following weekend is another doubler...Erich's uncle is having a birthday party at a bar that I have been told I must experience in person, but our friends the Gonzales' are having a husker party the same day in Omaha...decisions, decisions....I've left it up to Erich because I can do that.


The next weekend is one of my close friend's bdays, International Talk Like A Pirate Day, a husker game, and a housewarming/birthday party for another friend in Omaha. Talk about busy. We're definitely doing the housewarming, and am hoping to meet the other friend for coffee at the market in the am. And I can talk like a pirate no matter where I am! Just need to find a pirate themed dish to take to the tailgate!


The weekend of the 26th is up in the air, but if all goes according to plan we'll be cheering Abbey on at the Weinerdog Races in Grand Island! If anything, I want to go and check it out, I think it sounds hilarious, and the videos I've seen on youtube back that theory up.


We also have stuff in between the weekends. The 11th is our friend Justin's 31st birthday, and we are having a "31 is the new 21" party down town, which will include a Kris Lager Band viewing at the Bourbon Theatre. We'll be in attendance there again on the 29th to see Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers. I am very excited for that show, I love them!


I'm already tired and the month hasn't even begun!

I know how you feel. September is going to be out of control! I mean, with all of the activities, when are we supposed to work & sleep? (Most importantly, SLEEP?!)

Gonzales House on the 12th....'nuf said. ;)

09-09-09?! That's frickin' fantastic!! Parrrr-tay!

(Did any of that make sense? I feel like I'm speaking my own language. *sigh*)

No worries either way - but I will have cheese dip and roll ups and veggie pizza and meatballs and beer and dips and chips and all sorts of fat kid heaven... just saying...

Groundhog's Day

So, welcome to 2013!  January was full of busy-ness in the Kant home, what with potty training in full effect, work being super busy and, well, I'm just really tired.  Plus we moved out office into the basement and let's face it, out of sight, out of mind.  And despite the ipad and iphone within arm's reach, I can't figure out how to post from the damned things, so there you have it.  Like I said, January went by in a blur, but luckily the groundog (and more importantly, my mom, whose birthday is also today) didn't see their shadows, so yay! 6 weeks until Spring.  Harper has begun potty training (well, has been in panties full time since late December) and is doing great with the potty piece of it.  The pooping? Not so much, and what sucks is that she really couldn't care less when she drops one in her panties...this mom, however, could do without shaking poop out of panties multiple times a week. Our only saving grace is that she goes to the same place ...

Booker's First Birthday

While he didn't get to go to Disneyworld with us, he did get a pretty high flyin' party.  I may have gone a leeetle overboard with the party.  But hey, you only turn once right, and he may be my last :( Our theme was, Time Flies, and we used my Uncle's vintage toy plane for the invites.  Pretty cute kiddo.  It was also pre haircut, so he still looked like a baby. Of course I can't find that picture, so here is this one.  He's still cute.   Just a small party with family, and he had a great time.  He has already changed so much since this day.  He was just starting to make words and now can say Mama, Dada, Harper, Abs, Dude, and a lot of signs.  He also loves to dance, and is seriously the most cuddly sweet boy you will meet.  We love our little Bubba!

Back at it

When I started this blog, I knew my number one issue was going to be consistently updating it.  I didn't think I'd take a 4 year hiatus,  yet here we are... I stumbled into a friend's post, which motivated me to get back into the writing vs just scrolling--i.e. Facebook and Insta etc.  I make no promises to be timely with posts, but I'm hoping with Booker in preschool in the mornings (and school full time in the Fall-gulp) I may be able to make a better go of it. After a lot of deliberation with Erich, I decided to leave my job after 14 years.  It was a tough decision, because I really enjoyed the people, but the work itself had dwindled due to other circumstances, and I was bored.  So bored.  And the more I sat in front of the screen, the more I grew to hate the job.  So it was time for something new.  I had always wanted to be a stay at home mom with Harper, but financially it just didn't work.  Fast forward 6 years and we found we could ...
