We’re in a bad stage with Erv….if he naps, he wants to stay up longer than I even do (like in this picture, taken at 10 pm). If he doesn’t, the whining and crying start at 4pm and last until he goes to bed. I don’t like it. He takes a nap about every other day right now.

It was SO COLD Monday, but as soon as the big kids got home from school, they went to play outside in the little bit of snow that we got the night before. They didn’t last long out there.

Dude got his hair trimmed. He still has crazy bedhead, but he no longer has curls in his ears or a mullet.

My running adventures continue, except now, they’re mostly on the treadmill. But, sparkly headbands can help! (As of tonight, I’m up to 607 miles for the year—my goal was 500).

Thursday was Ivy’s very last basketball practice, and it was a circus. The team was, uh…less than focused. It was hilarious and aggravating.

We went to my husband’s company Christmas party Friday night. Our outfits totally coordinated.

Saturday morning, my mom and I did a very cold Ugly Sweater Run 5K, and then the kids and I changed into our pajamas and we all went out to eat and to see the Winter Wonderland Christmas light display.

How was your week?
