Week-end update.

First week back to work following our "staycation" - and what a hectic week it was! Some highlights:

*We celebrated back to school week with a little party on Tuesday night. Cake, candles, and a custom-made "happy back to school" song. Made the transition back into our normal routine just a bit easier.

*In other Harrison news, we are on Day 3 with no paci. We weren't planning on cutting him off cold turkey, but it just happened. He is doing okay without it, especially since the "paci fairy" brought him cars and some money to buy a train in exchange for the paci.

*Elijah is doing awesome (he just agreed with me by spitting up in my lap). He has been babbling up a storm and rolling around like a madman! His favorite activities include spending time in the exersaucer and playing with my hair.

*Things baby Elijah doesn't love? Sleeping through the night. I haven't had a good night's sleep in weeks, maybe months. And bottles. (At least today, when he decided to starve himself at school.)

*Speaking of school, Harrison came home today and told us how he watched videos at school. Great. I spend $200/week for him to watch videos. If I wanted the TV to babysit him, he could stay home with Ari and we could subscribe to Netflix.

*Even though it was rough going back to work, I am fortunate to have a job that, for the most part, I love. My coworkers are hysterical - and some of them don't even know it. Add a steady stream of entertaining emails to the mix and my days fly by!

On deck for the weekend? Cleaning tonight, in preparation for company next weekend. Great Escape tomorrow (hoping for a quiet day). And picking up a new jersey for Harrison to wear on Sunday - go GMEN!

What are your plans for the weekend?
