Manic Monday

Monday, October 24, 2011

What is it about the Monday after a school break (Fall Break for us) that makes it ultra-crazy?

For instance:  this morning.  I woke up and took an allegra, brushed my teeth, and then proceeded to take a second allegra.  WHAT am i thinking?  Total brain fog.  Hey i might be jittery and dizzy today but at least my allergies will be under control.   Then I proceeded to back out of our house to take Jordan to preschool and hit my neighbor's mailbox.  All sorts of awesome.

Some days just need a do over, huh?   :)

In all seriousness, we had an awesome fall break with mostly beautiful fall weather.  I think it was much needed to take a break from the craziness of the school schedule, it's alot to get used to!


we took lots of walks
 
 
saw balloons over our house
 completed and bottled my homemade limoncello (i will share how to make this on my blog soon!)

 Todd reading Jonah to Jonah :)

 saw cool clouds

 
worked on my fall mantle (it's so hard to decorate under a TV :) 

 
and had slumber parties. All in all, it was a wonderful fall break. now if i can just get my act together today :)

I also wanted to share that this week is a Blog Hop week at Lily Bee and Elle's Studio-- lots of inspiration and giveaways everyday on both blogs (two of my favorite companies teaming up this week!!  So exciting!)

Have a great (non manic) Monday!

I love photos of parents reading to their kids.

As for after-break crazies, maybe this is a good reason to only have breaks!

Bummer about the neighbor's mailbox - hopefully they are the understanding type andyour car is okay! Hope the rest of the day was incident free and you are back on regular track.

loved seeing a slice of your life. Limoncello sounds enticing.
