The Sunday Somethings, 02may10
May 2nd, 2010Something that makes me happy: Weekend afternoon naps.
Something I’m thinking: I’m thinking about gifts for our teachers this week during Teacher Appreciation Week.
Something I’m hoping: I’m hoping that this week isn’t too stressful.
Something happening around the house: We had guests this weekend. Catherine came to take photos, and Matt and Aiden were here to visit as well. Catherine took a ton of photos of all of us, and we had a nice time visiting with her family.
Something I’m reading: Not much time for reading this week.
Something I’m watching: We watched Pixar’s Up with Catherine’s family this weekend. They hadn’t seen it yet. I forgot how much I enjoyed that movie.
Something tasty: We had our first week of The Produce Box. We have managed to use the majority of the veggies in our box even with the tons of lettuce. Our salads have been very good! The strawberries were especially tasty! I’m happy that little to none of the box is going to waste this week.
Something Maddie is doing (26 months old): She’s officially counting to ten and attempted to tell her first knock-knock jokes this weekend. She’s not quite getting it. It generally goes something like this (with Maddie telling the joke): “Knock knock” “who’s there?” “banana!” “banana who?” *giggle, giggle* “banana who! knock knock joke!”
Something Cullen is doing (14 weeks old): We have finally turned a corner with bedtime! The past several days, we’ve been able to put him into the bassinet without me being in the room. The last two nights, I’ve actually been able to put him back into the bassinet after he wakes up to eat, too. He still spends a little time at the end of the night in the bed, but this has been encouraging! This afternoon, we took a nap together with him swaddled in the bassinet and me sleeping next to him in the bed.
Something I am struggling with: Making cookies for Teacher Appreciation Week. The Ginger Snaps are very tasty but a bit of work! It didn’t help that I forgot to add baking soda in the first batch. Who knew that baking soda was a key ingredient in baking? Oh, and just now I forgot to set the timer on the last batch, and the cookies are totally black. Awesome.
Something I’m doing towards my goals: We’re getting close to booking a cruise on Allure of the Seas which certainly qualifies as a megaship!
Something I learned: I’m not a fan of making the ginger snaps, but they make others happy, so I guess I’ll continue making them.
Something I’m looking forward to: Seeing our photos from Catherine Keene Photography.
Something random: Gabe is currently snuggling with the Boppy while we watch Amazing Race.
Something captured: Cullen looks like he’s dancing!

Holy cow–what a cute little guy you have! And I am almost as good at telling knock knock jokes as your daughter is (I’m workin’ on it.) Thanks for commenting on my blog today
