Day 345, January 29th

Back to reality for us!! We drove back to America on Sunday, and created our intense laundry piles and got to work.  Tomorrow is also Ryan's birthday, so I headed to Mike and Mary's house to pick up his gift, it was delivered when we were out of town, and wrapped that present right up! 
Gus loves to wrap presents! Christmas is his favorite time, but any time there is a celebration, he always jumps in to help get that gift wrapped!!  After birthday celebrations were ready for the morning, we just hung around, enjoying Ryan's last day of 27!

Day 335, January 19th

Thursday night I worked all day, got home late to Ryan making some dinner and our kids looking overly jealous of our human food.  I checked and realized alas, they had almost no food left.  I hopped in the car, headed to Petsmart, got them some food, almost adopted an adorable kitty, then headed back home.

I told Gus if he was hungry he could get his food, but he wasn't having any of that, so instead he just gave me that loving look and I gave into his needs! :) They ate dinner, we ate dinner and that was our exciting Thursday night!

Day 287, December 2nd

Friday was a pretty low key night for us.  After we ate dinner, we poured a glass of wine and watched a movie.  I've always been a white wine drinker, well not always, not like I was sipping on Pinot Grigio in elementary school or anything, but it's my recent wine of choice.  I want to though, drink red wine, but can't acquire a taste for it. My sister keeps telling me when I get older I'll like red wine, it's sort of like, how much older?! She never has that answer.  So on Thanksgiving, red wine was the closest to me at the dinner table, I poured a glass, and voila, 27 and 8 months is how old I had to be to like red wine!! I really enjoyed the wine last week, so when Ryan said he was going to open a bottle of wine, I said I'd love a glass of his as well! Such excitement! 
While the fact that we only had to open one bottle of wine instead of two was wonderful, the fact that our children clearly love Ryan more than me was not.  I'm fine with Max being all over Ryan, but Gus is my cat.  I've had him since he was a tiny baby, he used to nurse on my hair, and would never not sleep the whole night snuggled next to me.  Now, for whatever reason, he thinks Ryan is the bee's knees and I'm just the girl who gave him this lavish lifestyle!! It seriously breaks my heart every time I see them cuddle!

Day 243, October 19th

While I was driving my mom's car last week, I had the great pleasure of having an aux thingy so I could listen to my ipod! So fancy my mom's car is!!! 
So last week, I returned the car, which means I had to wrap up the cord, and go back to my radio...which is sirius so I guess I can't really complain!! Any way, so my fault, but I just set the cord up on the counter.  Max, is insane when it comes to hair ties, cords, anything.  He's chewed through 3 pairs of headphones, so again, this really was my fault. I came home from work on Tuesday, and the cord is in the middle of the living room, chewed the heck up!  He was not remorseful, and I was upset with him and myself.  
Ugh, kids!

Day 208, September 14th

On Wednesday, we decided to hit the gym and then make some dinner.  We had a nice dinner, glass of wine, and enjoyed our mid week treat.
After dinner, we got to cleaning up, when Gus snuck his little tush into the pantry to try and get some treats, as if he is missing food by any means! He shamefully looked at me when I caught him, apologized and jumped down.  Kids...

Day 192, August 29th

Monday, nothing too crazy.  After the gym, we made dinner and did a bunch of nothing! Gus, our oldest, is really quite helpful around the house, and he helped Ryan make dinner.  It's weird how he is so interested in what we do when Max could care less most of the time if we're even around!

Look at that adorable little fur ball!! Sorry, we legitimately did nothing interesting this fine Monday!
