it's thursday and we're all doing the best we can

you would think that a short week after a long 3-day holiday weekend would be easier . . . nope.  ha!  it's thursday and my goal is simply to survive to dinner today.  all i want to do is curl back up in bed with leko.  

love, laurie

hair stylist

ryan gets such special treatment from his furry hair stylist who always makes sure his hair is well washed!

the long weekend

the long columbus day weekend was much appreciated.  even though we had a bit of work interspersed throughout the weekend, we were very grateful to get some time off too.  

among other things, our weekend included . . . lots and lots of cuddles from leko, a trip to knoebels with our parents to see the park's halloween decorations, apple pancakes in our pjs which made the whole house smell like fall, some much-needed yard cleanup, a little dinner date at our favorite mexican restaurant which left us with lots of leftovers, a sunday night sundae date at one of our favorite local ice cream shops for buy-one-get-one free pumpkin ice cream, and a netflix marathon cuddled up on the couch with our fluffy baby.

love, laurie

finally a day off (sort of)

work is closed today so we have the day off . . . well, sort of because i still have to teach today but at least it's only one class.  happy to have most of the day work-free!

love, laurie

2020 miley cyrus parody

at least the holderness family is keeping us well entertained this year.  i have no idea how they crank out these videos so fast, but i'm loving it!

enjoy your weekend!

love, laurie

best way to watch the debate

watched the vp debate last night . . . what made it tolerable was this guy in my lap in bed!  

love, laurie

national led light day

it turns out that october 7th is national led light day.  we have to take a moment to acknowledge a whole day dedicated to lights since ryan loves lighting so much!  in addition to doing lights when we're in the thatre, ryan loves creating fun light colors a home with our philips hue bulbs all over the house!  (remember the year that ryan dressed up as a light designer for halloween?!)

love, laurie
