1. I’ve stolen Jessica’s Tuesday Things again.
2. Look who we got to puppy-sit again this week! Brutus is now bigger than Punky. He’s only six months old and nowhere near finished growing. Look out, world…this dog is going to be big.
3. We went to see the off-Broadway production of The Lion King last night and it.was.amazing. I can’t even imagine the effort that went into those costumes.
4. I am loving this workout. I did it on Tuesday and I want to do it again.
5. I really hate gift giving (and receiving) at Christmas, (I know, just call me Scrooge) but I can get behind these gift jars.
6. Adrienne’s newest favorite game is having all of her toys in a mixing bowl and stirring them up her hand. Also worth mentioning, her favorite toy is the top to a nalgene water bottle.
7. Remember that poll I had on my blog about attending a little blogger get together in Boulder? The planning is well underway, and I am in way over my head, but so stinking excited for it.
Brutus is such a great dog name! Love that gift idea too!
I love all those pictures of Adrienne…she makes the best facial expressions!
I am SO excited about the Blogger meet up! I can’t wait to get all the details. Truth: when I first saw the poll on your blog I was dissappointed because my due date was 5/13 and I knew I couldn’t fly out there but now I can go. A positive thing to focus on!
You are so awesome. I can’t wait to hug you in person.
I saw the Lion King in London a few years ago and I’d see it over and over again if I could!
I’m so excited for that blogger get together in Boulder TOO. Penpal may be joining me also.
But you may have to pull me kicking and screaming onto that plane back to D.C… just warning you now.
You can come live at my house. I won’t drag you anywhere.
My favorite toy is the top of a Nalgene bottle, too!
I really need to nibble your baby. In a non-creepy way.
I did that 480 workout last night. I was sweating up a storm. It was much harder than I thought it was going to be!
Harder than I thought, too!
I seriously just want to take that series of Adrienne photos, print it out and stare at it all day every day. You’re so stinkin’ lucky that you get to have that little girl with you all day.
AND AH!!!!! I’m so excited for the blogger get together – except that I hate that you’re feeling in over your head!
It’s not terrible…I just feel silly because I don’t really know what I’m doing. It will be a good learning experience for me! And I seeing you again will make it all worth my while. (That sounds so creepy, but I know…you get it)
Haha – I definitely get it. And I hear you on the learning experience, I just wish I could be there to help you and learn with you! (there, my creepiness just matched yours so we’re even
)
What kind of pup is Brutus? He’s adorable (you are too Punky, don’t be jealous). Adrienne takes after her momma, stirring up “goodies”!
He is a great dane. A GREAT great dane. He is the best puppy.
Haha, it’s so funny what toys kids pick as they’re favorites. I’ve always wanted to see The Lion King!
I know. I always ask myself why I would ever buy toys for A when she likes my phone, water bottle lids, and spoons to play with.
Can’t wait for Bolder! Ahhhh! Hope I can work it out.
I hope you can, too!
Can’t wait for the meetup!! That little baby A is precious. Kids always love the things that aren’t really toys the most! Those cheeks are insane…I want to squeeze her!
Yes, gift giving is hard…just posted some fun stuff on my blog today about homemade gifts. Maybe you could go that route?
I’ll go check that out, thanks!
Adrienne is getting so big!! I’d do anything to pinch those adorable cheeks!
Talk about Christmas gift shopping. I come from a family of 9 and I have 7 nieces and nephews… and that’s just my family not including friends! EEK!
Adrienne is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. The sixth picture is my favorite :-O
Love the series of photos, cuteness overload!
I’ll be there in May for sure, are you bringing Adrienne? I won’t be staying the night but was wondering about bringing Lyric along.
I think I’ll have Meeker come up with Adrienne during the day (maybe on Saturday) – but she won’t be there the whole time. I would love to meet you and Lyric!
YAY!!! (about alot of things!) Naomi’s workout, I must try it! I’m guessing that there are about 26 more pictures of Baby A playing with the Nalgene bottle. It was hard for you to pick which ones were most adorable, right?
And lastly, BLEND! I’m saying it out loud. The 2012 Blend Retreat. ahhhh…sounds good. Kathleen is away from her desk btw.
Try 26,000 pictures. My camera is glued to my hand.
How long did that workout take? I am going to do it tomorrow morning!?!??!?!
I don’t know why that last sentence was a question. Maybe because I’m questioning my sanity!
It took me 20 minutes the first time, and just did it again in 18 minutes. It’s a good one!
I’m so glad I checked your blog this morning because I really didn’t want to drive to the gym, so I did the 480 workout instead. Holy crap I can hardly walk up my stairs now.
I love Lion King plays- on Broadway, off Broadway, heck even highschool renditions! The costumes are so much fun!!!!
AHH got your tweet you beat your time you ROCK!! love that you love it! I have lots more workouts like this coming so be on the look out
too funny that my post today was coping the ‘tuesday things’ too!
xoxox
I love these types of workouts, I can’t wait!!
omg i can’t waaaaaaaaaaaaait to try naomi’s workout! i think i’m gonna do it saturday
wee! except i’m quite confused as to what exactly a shoulder pushup is hahaha
google it! I had to do that for a couple exercises – there are some good videos out there!
Baby A is going to be cooking up a storm in no time!
Or confusing her toys for food…either one.
This is related to nothing in this post, but would you consider doing an “about” post for Crossfit? You’ve totally piqued my interest but Googling was fruitless and a bit scary!
Yes! And as I was reading this request, I realized you asked me to do a running with stroller post, and I haven’t done it yet, but HAVEN’T forgotten. I will get both of those up this month. It’s my goal!
Yay, thank you!
I’m needy aren’t I
I love it! It gives me ideas to blog about, so thank you!
Lots of things to say and ask…
1. what kind of dog is Brutus?
Please, let me know if I can help in any way!!
2. I saw the Lion King in Toronto and was blown away!! Loved it!
3. I’m so with you on the gift-giving thing!!!!! My mother-in-law lives for giving gifts, but I just don’t really care about it, so the holidays can be tough sometimes!
4. I’m so excited for the retreat
So much cute… my heart is all melty again… I think I’ll go ask my hubby (for the millionth time) if we can have a baby. For the record, his answer is always yes. And then I freak out and say we aren’t ready. It’s a fun game.
Haha, just do it!! Literally.
I do Thursday Things too!
Adrienne is beyond adorable and growing up…SO FAST!!!
wtf katie, how do you have the most adorable baby ever?? do you just stare at her all day and gush over those cheeks??? because i would. i would never get anything done bc she is soooo dang cute.
i cant believe how grown up she is stirring her toys. mamas little baker?
Agreed. You should enter her in a cute baby contest and you, Meeker and Punky would be set for life
BTW, CAN’T WAIT FOR MAY
I needed an excuse to be in Boulder, and now that I have the best one… I can’t help but justify the price of a ticket!
I know!! I saw that you responded YES, and I was thrilled! I can’t wait! And we’re trying to keep those ticket prices as low as possible….
You’re so sweet, Elise! Yes, I also think she’s the best thing in this world, and I nibble on her cheeks and giggle with her all day long. I rarely get anything done.
I’m not into the whole Christmas gift giving/receiving thing either. Not sure what it is, but it’s my least favorite thing related to the holiday (second least favorite thing is holiday music…. double Scrooge). I’m happy I’m not the only one who feels this way!
So excited about the meet-up in Boulder! I’ve always wanted to go to a blogger meet up, but they are always far away (I live in Denver)…so pumped there’s going to be one in my backyard (sort of)!
That’s why we are planning it here…haha, so I could go!
oh my gosh those dogs are too cute for words! and then there’s baby A — seriously, no words to describe how adorable she is! i also love how babies are content playing with any and everything
i wish it would stay like that as we all get older!
I’ve already got a countdown to May!!
