What a Week.

The past week or so has kicked my booty.

So much going on. Deep Breath.

Last week Kate was VIP in her Kindergarten class, which translates to *me* having homework each night. Ha!

We had to make a scrapbook, bring in show & tell, take home the class bear and journal about it & Kevin got to go in one day and read a book to her class. All of it was fun, but it just took a lot of time. Kate was so excited about it all week & having something special to do each day, which caused her to be too excited to sleep at night.

All that, combined with her birthday party on Saturday was just a lot of excitement.

 Here are some instagrams of the couple weeks of crazytown around here! 

It was COLD last week. Frost on the grass 5 days in a row. We are wimpy Californians, we don't like frost.

 Highlight of the week, was getting carded at the grocery store buying wine. 

The cashier said there is no way I am 33 with 3 kids. MADE MY WEEK.

The kids have done some modeling for Pottery Barn Kids, here is Claire on their website:

Check out it out here on their website!

 I needed glass bottles for Kate's party, so I used glass "frappachino" bottles. 

I was thankful to have a coffee pick me up every afternoon for the past 2 weeks.

My collection of bottles:

Tip: These are Archer Farms (Target brand) coffee frappachino drink bottles. The label comes right off.  Cheaper & easier than the Starbucks brand. 

More party prep...the bags I bought for the cookie favors were too small (the cookies were bigger than what I thought I ordered) Anyone need 20 chevorn bags? Ha!

3 am and I was ready for the party. I would have been done earlier, but Luke decided to be awake from midnight until 2 am.

Then it was off to party #3 of the day. Bowling for my Father in Law's birthday!

Happy 70th Birthday! I am lucky to have such a great Father in Law!

3 sick kids means Mommy needs wine. At 5 pm....on the dot.

Luke who was finally sleeping 8 hours at night has reverted back to waking up every few hours because he doesn't feel well. We had him sleep in his bouncer or swing for several hours to help with his coughing. It made me feel better if he was at an incline. Easier for him to breathe. Poor thing.

Luckily Kate was well enough to go to school on her birthday. My mother in law & Claire brought her balloons.

For Kate's bday dinner, she wanted to go to some place that would sing her Happy Birthday :)

We brought birthday cupcakes to Daisy's.

Phew. What a week.

I was so tired this morning I forgot to bring part of my breast pump to school. Ouchie.

The kids are finally on the mend and I am keeping my fingers crossed that the sore throat I have had for 2 days goes away!

 And, as a reminder, NEXT FRIDAY is the FIRST Pin-Spired Linky Party!!!
Can't wait to see what outfits you have pinned & worn!!!

So ready for the weekend & So happy it's Friday. 

Friday Night means Pizza Night! (and wine!)

Hope you have a great weekend!
