Looking Ahead to the Summer

This summer is going to be bananas!

I've been working through calendars and laying out plans for our summer months and it's starting to scare me.

Let's review what's on the way:
  • Dave has a week-long conference downtown and a European trip -- back to back. That's two weeks of single-parenting!
  • I have a work conference for four days in Denver 
  • A week later, we're flying out for a week-long camp on the east coast
  • The day after we get back, Dave and I are getting a couples weekend in Las Vegas 
  • A week later my in-laws are visiting, with possibly my sister-in-law and her family
  • And my sister and her adorable daughters may also be coming for a visit around that same time. 
  • Not to mention the mix of day camps I scheduled for the kids. Some weeks they'll be in our town, others they'll be near my office. 
All wonderful, exciting events I am looking forward to, but it will make our summer -- our short, wonderful summer -- just fly by.

Keeping Cool
School is out in one month!!! Get ready!

Behold! Everard Blue!

Here's the After picture of our master bedroom now that the walls are a dark and moody blue. Maybe the best part is I was at work while the painters were here, so I walked in and found -- as if by magic -- the room no longer minty green but a bold blue. That's pretty awesome. They also painted the trim an eye-popping white, which I just love against this blue. And the angle is a dark beige-y, tan color that I hope goes with the headboard. I spent the evening cleaning and re-hanging the drapes, and moving the furniture back into position. It will be a while before I dare hang anything in here. I'm too in love with the walls to put too many holes in them right now. So, just in case I'm looking for this information later: The walls are "Everard Blue" by Benjamin Moore . And the tray is "Curly Willow" by Behr . Now, does that furniture look too dark against the walls or is it just me? And wouldn't a lighter wood or white look fabulous agains...

France and the Third Baby

Odd fact of the day .... The French government pays for a mother’s tummy tuck after the birth of her third child (you do have to have at least 3 babies to qualify). Found on this blog about raising kids in Southern France. Yes, I'm day-dreaming again. Related posts: All the fancy quotes My love of France runs deep, people

So Long, Hanukkah Part Two

And just as quickly it started (in New Jersey, on the night of Thanksgiving, no less), Hanukkah is over.  Our eight nights were full of fun and squealing! And lighting many candles, of course. We missed one night because we were in a hotel room after spending the whole day driving home from New Jersey -- and I just didn't have the wherewithall to pull out the menorah.  Speaking of menorah, we've replaced our old, wax-filled menorah with this lovely silver beauty given to us by David's mother. It belonged to her mother and sat in the dining room for years. Isn't it pretty?! And, the wax cleans off it much easier, so we're sure to hang on to this one for many Hanukkahs to come. I'm a sucker for traditions.  Here's some photos of the last two nights: Leah Lighting the Candles - in an Eli Manning Jersey, No Less Alice Lighting in a Top She Calls her Genie Shirt David Constructing the Cardboard Pirate Ship The Last BIG Gift?
