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 found the pictures from that visit today, which of course brought more waterworks.
She was traumatized by the blood draw, which was not the expected finger prick.  Pretty sure she got McDonalds for both meals that day. She got over it fairly quickly, although it still comes up every time we go to the doctor.  And we've changed doctors!

And we went Miniature Golfing

Typical face, still today

So of course Booker is freaking out, and Harper is no help.  So Erich and I have loads of fun stuff planned, including but not limited to: lunch of his choice, going to the library to get his library card, riding the Scheels ferris wheel, video game playing with dad, and I had zoo on the table since technically they were going to open tomorrow, but the snow has caused a delay.  Which is cool, because I was not looking forward to that in our mainly outdoor zoo.  Lucky for us, he's so easy going I suspect after lunch and library he'll just want to go home.

We have Spring Break next week, and not much planned other than avoiding cabin fever.  Hoping for good weather or else lots of snow play and visits to the library, mall, Barnes and Noble, Runza...germs be damned, we're going to need these indoor play areas.  I wish we were traveling, preferably somewhere warm and governed by a mouse.  But I'm not picky...

Speaking of that, we were planning to surprise the kids with a trip after Labor Day, but then the stupid Star Wars hullabaloo is opening August 29th.  I won't be able to convince Erich to go for at least another year.  Going to push for early 2020 so we can go one last time before having to pay for Harper as an adult.  It's a racket...but we're so addicted lol.  We're those Disney people now.  I'm Ok with it.

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 ...

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 ...
