King of a Week

Howdy! It's Sunday AGAIN! And this Sunday it SNOWED again! I love seeing snow on the ground. It's January after all.

Monday was MLK day which means I had the day off of work. Rob went in to work and brought Kasper to daycare. I took the opportunity to get a nice long run in on the treadmill and have a lazy morning after that. By lunch time I had convinced Rob to play hooky and spend the rest of the day with me! We met at Old Chicago for calzones and BEER.

The high temp on Monday was -5 degrees or something ridiculous so we tried to limit our time outside. We looked at TVs at Best Buy, hit up the thrift shop and ended up at Rustica for coffees and croissants. It was such a fun day! I'm so glad Rob spent it with me!

When we got home Monday we realized K was running a small fever which got worse overnight resulting in 3 screaming wake-ups. (Side note - I DON'T MISS THAT.) I stayed home with him Monday. His fever wasn't terribly high but he was clearly feeling super crummy. The shoes helped a bit. (Found those at the thrift store!) He is Dutch after all.


I started a bad habit by allowing K to sit on the counter and "peel a naranka".


He peeled the whole thing himself and set all the "skins" in little rows. As he would take one off, he'd say what it looked like (race car, moon, etc) then line it up.

Mmmmmm..... boogers.


He sat with me for a little Nemo before naptime. Which lasted FOUR hours. He needed the rest.


Thursday was Royalty Day at daycare!

He kept that crown on the WHOLE NIGHT. He loved it.



These pics are part "Isn't Kasper cute?" and part "HOW DID I LIVE WITHOUT THIS FLASH??"




We had a pretty chill weekend. Rob and Kasper went to swimming lessons yesterday morning and had a great time again. When K went down for his nap, Steph came over so we could run out and do a couple things we wanted to do baby-free like go to the running store to get fitted for new running shoes and stop at REI to browse and try on jackets. We stopped by a RedBox on the way home and rented Cars2 to watch on the new TV. I was pretty impressed by Kasper's attention! He watched some and generally stayed out of trouble. Also making an appearance in these - THE BASEMENT!



You can see the new treadmill back there as well as Rob's bike trainer. The basement does double duty as living room with a fireplace and dojo.



Done paying attention!


This is random but pretty funny. He gathered some of his favorite things around him while sitting on the potty. The potty is not the least bit interesting to Kasper. He sits on it for at least a second while his bath is being run but he doesn't actually use it.


Today Rob and Kasper went for a run outside while I got groceries. I'll have to watch the news but I'd say we got about 4 inches of snow over the course of the afternoon! It's beautiful fluffy snow!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
