Happy November

I'm always happy and sad to see November come.  Sad because Halloween, my most favorite holiday, is over.  Happy because Black Friday is only 24 days away.  Sad because snow is now unevitable.  Happy because we Fall back, and I love me some extra sleep.  Sad because I have to drive to work in the snow...wait, did I mention that already?  I hate the snow, especially after last year's accident. 

October went by in a flash, and we had some good times.  This last week I volunteered with PJ's Babycakes' booth at Boo at the Zoo.  Welcome to Hogwarts!  I was Harry Potter, and I gotta say, it was pretty dead on.  I just need to work on my more maculine voice for next year. 

One of my favorite things about Halloween is handing out candy and seeing all the costumes.  Hey, doing this, I pretty much saw every costume in Lincoln, good times.  Here were some of my faves: all of the pirates, vampires and Harry Potter's of course, a homemade beatbox, and the best one: a girl was wearing black and white striped tights with ruby red shoes, and on top was a house.  Get it?  Wicked witch with a house dropped on her.  Very creative, however it didn't appear to be very user friendly...but then again, aren't the best costumes? 

Harper dressed as a cute little bee.  She had some concerns with it at first, but once she realized that she was getting candy out of the deal, she jumped on board.  Here are a few pictures from Halloween, and some randoms from the month as well.

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 ...
