One Of Those Days

Yesterday was one of those days that I just wanted to bottle up forever! We don't usually have any plans on Mondays which is nice! I got down on the floor with Hudson and we played dinosaurs, legos, and trains all morning.

Before lunch I got out H's shape and color workbook and we did that...these workbooks are great for preschoolers! He was so proud of himself that he ran upstairs with his certificate and made me hang it up!

After a brief nap and an impromptu shower due to poop in the underwear I let H pick out his own outfit, madras shorts and a whale applique shirt won!

We promised Hudson that we could ride bikes after dinner so I watched as my boys rode around the neighborhood.

And while poopy underwear and having H get up a gazillion times are not things I enjoy the day overall was wonderful!

Menu Monday

Well another Monday is upon us and I am in shock that we are already at the end of June and temps here in Nashville were in the 100's yesterday! It isn't even that hot in Orlando right now! One thing I am grateful for is the fact that the humidity isn't nearly as bad as it was in FL!  Anyway here is our menu for the week :)

Sunday: BBQ Ribs and Broccoli

Monday: Chicken Ceasar Salad

Tuesday:  Steak and Salad

Wednesday: Chicken Divan...recipe found here

Thursday:  PF Chang Frozen Dinner with Rice

Friday: Leftovers

Around These Parts...

I feel like I haven't updated on our everyday life in awhile! Life is busy! We are always running in a million different directions. There have been playdates, birthday parties, picnics, etc and summer is just beginning!

Not Quite Settled

We all know the term "settled down" or get the question " when are you going to settle down," but what is settling down? M and I have been getting both of these questions since moving to TN and it got me thinking...

I've never been the settled down type, yes I go married at 23 but as I've said before the longest we have ever "settled" anywhere was 3 1/2 years in FL. For some reason after we live somewhere for a year I get itchy to either move houses, towns, states, or countries! I'm not sure why!

We have 5 months left on our lease here in our small town and so the question of what to do next is coming soon.  Pretty sure we will stay in our town and rent again because again we just don't know where we will be in the next 2 years so buying just doesn't really make sense for us.

M and I have always wanted to move over seas for a year or two while Hudson and any future babies are still young. With his company M could get a position overseas one day which makes us happy.

When I look into the future the only place I see us "settling" in is our hometown of Richmond. Maybe this is why we are content to move around and have all these adventures, because we know where we eventually want to end up. Every time we go home it gets harder and harder to leave, this last time we even said we couldn't go home again because it makes us too homesick when we leave!

Once you have kids I feel like people expect you to settle down and stay in one place forever. I'm content to not be "settled." We are happy, Hudson is thriving here in TN, and life is good!
