Sort've Quick Takes

1. 7 Posts in 7 Days 

It sounds like a good idea, but really it just means we all force ourselves to write everyday and since every other blog we read is doing the same time, no one has time for any commenting or connecting. I know that we "all blog for ourselves" but we all love the comments. And I know that I have been a bad commenter this week. Next time I propose a 20 posts in 30 days challenge. Or something like that. Even 15/30 is half. OR a comment challenge. I don't know. Clearly Jen will read this and change her mind and the link up. Because, yeah right. 

2. Antics of The Toddler

It was a long week here in the household. Husband was on a business trip Monday and Tuesday so I was ready for the weekend by Wednesday. Luckily Cari wrote her "Keep a Toddler Happy During Homeschool" post which I decided was really a "Keep a Toddler Happy" post. We played rice on Wednesday for about 45 minutes and yesterday for about 25. 

3. Obligatory Take About The Horrible Winter That Won't End

While I am happy to bid farewell to February me thinks it's going to be a little more like this 

Than this

For a long long while. 

But a lot can happen in 31 days. Hopefully happy warm sunny kind of things!

4. In Which I Got Out of the House 2 Nights In A Row

To celebrate making it through the month of business trips I went to Walgreens by myself on Wednesday night. I didn't even stroll, I was a moseying. And it was glorious. I spent an hour just not doing anything. And promptly forgot to buy the envelope for which I based the entire trip about. Last night I had book club. It was great. A small group again. Which is good. So we could actually discuss the book. I really enjoyed it. 

5. Photo Shoot

I did a mini photo shoot this week. I have to show you my favorite. It's so toddler GQ! 

Sheer dumb luck he posed like that and actually looked at me. I just love how his hair is the right amount of tousled! So funny. Very biased Mom over here. 

6. Lent

I wish I could tell you we are super prepared and ready to embrace this season.  We'll get it together by Wednesday I think. I am giving up paper plates and that's going to be challenging. I've got to go stock up on the Mac and Cheese. Because I am not creative on Fridays. Mac and Cheese, Grilled Cheese, Cheese Pizza... I'm good with that. 

7. This Weekend

Oh I am ready for the weekend. I have no real plans. Which is the very best weekend. Husband and C are going on an outing tomorrow morning. They are excited about it. I am happy for them. I will sleep through it or maybe watch a show. Who knows? Best kind of weekend for sure.
