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 ...

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...

Snow Day

OK, we get it.  It's Nebraska and the weather is the worst.  It can stop snowing any time now.  Booker hopped into bed with us before 6, and when I checked the time on my phone, I was also surprised to see a voicemail from the school.  Whaaaat?  I have quit even looking at forecasts because the days I think should be cancelled are never the days that are.  Harper was ticked; she has chicks hatching at school people!  And Booker, he had to miss swim!  Then again, not having to leave the house is nice.  We put up a tent where they spent most of the day playing, fight free, while I did laundry and read my book and started uploading pictures to work on photo books because I have coupons expiring at month end. Tomorrow is a big day for Booker; we have his Kindergarten physical.  Don't mind me, I'll just be over in the corner sobbing (with Booker right next to me, because, shots.)  I feel like we just did this with Harper.  Even fo...
