Dinner time???

Image
By
So for once in my life, I was so excited to have a nice dinner ready by the time Ian got home. He told me he would be home at 5pm. I called him at 5:30 and found out he stopped somewhere to pick something up that he was looking for on craigslist. The following conversation happened:
"Where are you?"
 "Picking up that vcr/dvd player we talked about."
"What?!?! WHY!!! DINNER HAS BEEN READY SINCE 5!"
"Well, it is 5 mins away from work so I figured it would -make sense to just get it now."
 "Ugh , well now dinner is cold"
 "You guys can eat without me if you want"
 "No. Are you kidding me? I did this for you! We aren't eating without you!"
"Ok, so what do you want to do?"
"What do you mean 'what do I want to do?' I JUST WANNA BE MAD ABOUT IT!!!"
*I laugh because as I yelled that last part, I caught wind of my complete irrationality.*
 "hahahaha, ok well you can do that. OR we can just heat it up when I get home."

My poor husband. What a trooper. I am not sure if my reaction was because of pregnancy hormones or not, but I am going to blame it on that anyway.

    It's not the pregnancy... I use to do that to Eddie 2-3 times a week. Now I tell myself he is working so I have this food to cook and can spend time at home with my son. I still mess up. But at least it's down to once or twice a month, lol. =)

    What's for dinner?? =)

    Roasted chicken, roasted zucchini and cilantro & lime rice. Afterwards I was thinking, "I think I would still be mad about this if I wasn't pregnant." But I will blame the hormones anyways.

    Maybe it hasn't happened because I don't think I have ever had dinner completely ready before he came home, unless he worked late and we ate without him. Ugh I was so excited and it was stone cold by the time he actually got here (6 o clock). That's the last time I ever try to do THAT. hahaha!

    Here's a tip. Take the time he tells you he'll be home from work and add 30 minutes to it. Now plan supper prep based on that time. My hubby doesn't mind if supper isn't on the table when he walks through the door (gives him time to change clothes and unwind a bit). He just likes to know supper is close to being done. :)

    Oh Ian doesn't care either way about when dinner is ready, and I am certainly happy about that. Sometimes he will come home and eat a sandwich, I feed the kids leftovers or something quick, and then I make us dinner after they go to bed.

    I thought it would be nice for a change for dinner to be hot and on the table when he got home, just to see if I could physically do it. I seriously started chopping things up at nap time to get everything ready. hahaha, I usually add 15 mins to whatever he says, but an hour later is crazy. He bought me ice cream to make up for it though. Some girls like flowers but bring me some ice cream and I will forgive almost anything! hahaha!

    At least you can laugh about it now right? You two are cute :)

Spring is Finally Here!

By
Finally! I feel like Spring has finally come to stay. My allergies are killing me, and my skin is reacting to sunlight in true Jess fashion. I'm pretty sure I have solar urticaria. WebMD told me so, so it must be legit. Seriously though, I do have all the symptoms and it seems to be getting worse with age. It's kind of awful but the fresh air is so nice, I can't stand to stay inside. I likely am going to have to get some sun protective clothing. If I was worried about being cool before, wearing a long-sleeve swimsuit really will seal my fate as a very, uncool mom. hahaha! Last week was so nice out that we took the whole week off from school and focused on enjoying the weather and preparing for Easter. The homeschooling community likes to say that instead of taking off for snow-days, we take off for sun-days. I do love that flexibility.  Today, we started back up with school again but the boys still spent most of the day outside in the fresh city air, and our day was pre...

Autumn fun!

By
     Last week, to celebrate the official start of Autumn we took a little nature walk at a nearby park. I just love this park because there is so much space, that I don't worry about the kids running too far ahead of me.   My little Luke especially loves that I am not constantly asking him to 'wait' or 'come back'. He is ever the explorer.        Our mission was to observe nature in the beginning of Autumn, and collect things we find on the ground.       We had a really fun time exploring. Anthony spotted some lilypads, but to his mild disappointment, no frogs. We saw a squirrel in a tree making a really weird noise that I had no idea squirrels were even capable of making. We came to the conclusion that he may have been sick, or singing us a song. Lukie made friends with a couple of ducks. We observed the very dark gray skies, and predicted that it would begin raining some...

Learning

By
I just love teaching Anthony. I am sure I will enjoy teaching Luke as well, but Anthony is at an age where he can communicate well enough that you can measure what he is learning. I think the most important thing to do is to instill a love for learning. We read books all the time, and I try to allow Anthony to explore his surroundings, and (safely) follow through with his curiosities. Discovering and learning new things can be so much fun, even when it is messy, loud, and repetitive. A lot of times when I feel myself getting uptight about him making a mess, or getting dirty, or banging pots and pans together, I remember that he is really discovering this stuff for the first time. It is all brand new to him, so I should relax and let him have some fun. Safe fun, but fun nonetheless. Anyway, Anthony counts to ten, - actually he does 1-12 and 16-20. hahaha. And recites some of his ABCs and can recogize some of the letters and numbers as well. And he does this ALL. DAY. LONG. Talk abou...
