Weekend Wahoo

This weekend was one of those weekends where we just move from one thing to the next, somehow still manage to get decent rest and are ready to slide into Monday and the new week yelling 'wahoooooo!'  Well, maybe I wasn't yelling wahoo when Shane left for work before 5am today and felt the need to have a super long involved conversation with me.  While. I. Was. Still. Trying. To. Sleep.

Anyway...

Friday evening we attended Shane's command holiday party.  It was a great chance for us to get all dressed up and for me to see my Kearsarge Fab 5 ladies again!  You don't realize how much you really leaned and depended on each other until you are reunited after not seeing and talking on a daily basis for three months.  [well, there have been some sightings...Emily.]



Saturday we tacked the mountain of laundry, the mountain of clutter and the remains of Christmas in our house.  We got to deal with a super fun storm--who doesn't love the NWS texts that tell you there is a tornado warning and to take cover immediately?  Of course, Shane decides that it was best he hang out on the front porch [crazy person] as it blows in.  Upside to being stuck inside with nasty weather?  Olivia found her feet.  So most of the day was spent like this:





Sunday was a whirlwind day for me at work in the morning--so crazy that my beautifully pedicured toenails were stripped of their polish by all the running up and down the stairs I did.

Sunday evening, Trevor's friend Chase came over and the boys donned their aprons to make dinner for us all!  The pizza making did result in an epic mess to clean up, but it was so worth it to see what a great time they had.


yes, the boys are wearing aprons.  :) 






Top the weekend off with a little rice cereal, and it was just about perfect!




Sidenote:  Once Olivia realized that nighttime was for sleeping [and I discovered the amazing Swaddle Strap] she has always been an amazing night sleeper.  While we haven't had one bit of trouble getting her down to sleep, she would cry out several times during the night and we'd have to go help to settle her back to sleep.  Taking it as a hint that she may be done with the swaddle [profuse tears] we tried her with one arm out last night.....and it was silent bliss from 8pm to 6:30am.  Ugh, she is growing up.
