A lot of Emmy and Ethan time this week. It has been tough trying to work while having the kids running around crazy, screaming, and non-stop talking while I’m in meetings. But overall, it has been a bit rewarding getting to have a little break and having their smiles and laughter.
I find I don’t know how to walk away from the the computer unless I had a real reason else I’d just keep working. It does help that meetings weren’t as crazy this week since we were able to churn out the necessary stuff for our team to do their planning sessions.
Emmy and I continued our daily walks with Rizzo. She’s found some surprises along the way and I was able to shoot one of my favourite pictures in a long time where she’s squatting with Rizzo.
Friday, June and I were off. Since I had to return things we made an outing to the mall. I bought her a shirt and a dress from Target as well as Starbucks drinks for everyone. She made a joke, “Look, I do like mommy!” Exhibit the picture of her holding a Target bag and Starbucks. Don’t worry, she didn’t have my green tea drink. She has a pink drink that she chugged within 10 minutes.
I bought her a happy meal and pretzels and headed home. She took a WONDERFUL nap afterward.
I bought a Prunus J-110 radio. I’m loving the old school look and now Mum is jealous and wants one. Rizzo for size. It’s so cute!
I’ve been doing a chore chart with Emmy which you’ll see down below. I guess Rizzo felt he was doing a dang good job being my little baby and deserved a star since they found him with a star on his nose. Boop! So cute.
He has also felt neglected and felt the need to let me know — hence the last picture. My whittle baby!
Saturday morning, I took Emmy to Krispy Kreme as a treat. Then Sissy came over and we did friendship bracelets. Emmy made one for herself, her mum and her dad. Sissy made one for herself. And I made one for Rizzo and I to wear. Rizzo’s isn’t fully complete since we ran out of string so it’s just on an elastic for now. We ordered food from AJI Ramen as well.
We had hot pot that night and a lot of play time. We did forts in the playpen and spelling and A LOT of dancing.
Today Emmy and I made bread. It’s a bit denser than it should be since someone added a bit too much flour. I won’t name who. But it didn’t come out horrible! The kids actually love it and has eaten A LOT of it. We also took Emmy to Costco and got her an ice cream to share with me.
As mentioned above, Emmy’s Chore Chart. Mostly if she listens to others, share with others, finish her food and clean up, etc. she’ll get a star. Then at the end of the week, I’ll surprise her with a present. She got some Frozen toys and an egg that hatches in a few days.
It’s been an eventful (tiring) week. This week is a three day work week. I’m ready!
