A new week has begun. What does yours look like? Are you having a hot beverage because it is cold outside? Are you having an iced beverage because it is hot outside?

I drink mine hot all year because I'm a freak. About to make my Lavazza latte with pumpkin whipped topping. Yummm.
This week is busy. The big kids have book fair this week at school, fall party and costume parade are Friday. We're going ToTing with a couple of their old daycare friends on Thursday and then ToT in our own community is Sunday, so I suppose we'll go again.
L's new lenses for her glasses should be in this week. I'm anxious to see how she adjusts to bifocals.
And the baby will be SEVEN MONTHS old tomorrow. I don't know where the time has gone.

It's finally cold and rainy. Yay! I'm drinking hot Dunkin' Original Blend with cream and sugar. Boring yet delicious. I do not like the Creme Brulee or Pumpkin Pie creamers we currently have.
Edit: It's just another week of homeschooling, and L is so excited to start her next level math book. She makes this too easy some days. We are studying this week about the Pilgrims in Holland so we will be having stroopwaffel snack today. J has been helping me cut out many, many little pieces of paper for a Children's Church craft, and we still have more to cut. Scissor skills, check. LOL. I have MOPS tonight so yay again for what is basically my Mom's Night Out.

I am on day three of a wicked migraine so I'm moving very slowly today. And it is cold and rainy. I had a cold brew with coconut creamer and now I've switched to herbal tea. I should drink some more water too.
I have a crazy packed work week.

I had Lavazza drip coffee with hazelnut creamer. Busy week. It’s the last week of soccer for the season— M has practice Wednesday, a clinic Friday, and a game Saturday. Gymnastics is tonight. It’s also spirit week at school, so I just ordered 2 yards of fabric to make her some scrubs for Future Career Day. And puppy class tomorrow night— gah! Looking forward to the coming weeks when all we have is gymnastics.

I had a couple cups of hot coffee, even though they made me sweat because it is super warm and sunny here today. I need the heat for the caffeine to be effective, I think.
This week is so busy, but busy with fun stuff. M & I have a playdate with one of her preschool buddies this afternoon, this is our last week of soccer, a library halloween event, 2 school trunk or treats, a food truck coming to the 'hood this weekend, plus the neighborhood halloween party that I am in charge of and then of course actual trick or treating. Oh and there is a huge halloween festival here that is a pretty big deal, so we might check that out over the weekend too if we can find some spare time to do so. So much candy, but my kids promised to "donate" some - somewhere, lol, so this will be fine. They are getting our money's worth out of their halloween costumes this year!

I drink hot coffee all year round. I'm just finishing up my first cup 🙂
We have a pretty relaxed week. The big kids have their school Halloween costume parties on Thursday and Friday, so they're looking forward to that. I need to make sure L's costume still fits him, and I need to run to the grocery store today. I want to make those cookies that look like witch fingers.

L had fun at the birthday party yesterday, and I told the mom we could have them over soon. But her kid is really... energetic, in a destructive way, and I'm a little apprehensive about it.

This is us with our extended family that just moved to our city. The two older siblings have been here without their parents and are great. The 4 year old is A LOT so his mom is hesitant to bring him over at all. |

We have hot coffee all year here too. Our apartment is pretty energy efficient so it stays at a really decent temperature, and since I rarely go outside... lol. So hot coffee with creamer it is - just the double double creamer today.
We have our Halloween party on Saturday, and then ToTing on Sunday, so I really need to get costumes done. Luckily all I need to do is finish Ws tutu and iron the Ms onto our shirts. But I don't have an iron, heh. Also contemplating making cookies for the party, but debating whether I just want to do pumpkins or pick some other designs to do too. Otherwise I'm just working this week, might see about getting to the park with the neighbors one day.

I've had people offer to watch him but he's just SO MUCH, and I know he is, so I'm really hesitant to bring him most anywhere if I'm not going to be there. |

The 4 year old is A LOT so his mom is hesitant to bring him over at all. I think the mom would want to come over, too, which is great, but even then I think he's a handful. I guess we'll just have to try it once and see how it goes. |

I am feeling frazzled. Drank hot decaf with maple and milk this morning, didn’t eat breakfast or lunch until 1. I was picking up three new chickens and then adding a nesting box to the introduction pen because two of them are already laying! Pic hopefully attached.  |

It's a busy week for me. I'm overwhelmed, but it'll be ok. Big week for work and PTA stuff, not to mention, Halloween this weekend! Drinking hot coffee today. It's cold and rainy all week. Keeping my fingers crossed we at least get a break from the rain for trick or treating.

Today started really rough with lots of bad moods all around. But the day is ending on a happy note. I just extended a permanent position to one of my pepper preppers and she is so happy about it. She is a keeper, so I'm so happy that she's going to be sticking around. I got a loan approved that I've been waiting on for way too long. So it's a win.

Update to Pip's first day of school: When he started Kindergarten in 2018, I couldn't get him home fast enough for his liking. Today, he kept trying to go back to the classroom, he wasn't in a rush to leave. Yay! |

Blargh. It’s a crazy week here. I’m currently having a drink and stuffing my face with carbs.
At home, I drink hot coffee year-round. But I will usually get something cold if I go they a coffee shop drive thru!
ToT is Sunday here. I wish they’d do it Saturday instead of a school night!
It’s also our last week of soccer, which I’m sad about.

Yesterday was my anniversary (12 years!), so S and I took off today so we could celebrate while the kids were at school.
Hot coffee, walking the Denver Botanic Gardens together, lunch downtown, and plenty of adult time.
Back to normal the rest of the week.

UO: I prefer iced coffee, even when it’s cold out.
Had no coffee this morning. Despite my best efforts we were rushing out the door to get to forest school, got there 10 minutes late and forgot B’s bag of extra gear. I’m embarrassed to admit that the program doesn’t even start until 9:45. It was cold and rainy and he took a lot of convincing to go.
This week is full of fun stuff for us too! Slime party tomorrow and a new homeschool farm program starts up for us on Wednesday. Friday night we’re going to a Halloween story walk then Trick or Treating on Sunday!
