365Project.2015 | Week 24

It's official! Abby-girl is crawling! She progressed from scooting backwards on her thighs, to getting up and rocking on her knees, to crawling forward throughout the week! Fun stuff! Let the adventures begin! :)

Day 158. As Abby will testify, moving backwards can lead to some rather awkward situations ...
 ;)

Day 159. It was a good week. Mommy made a concerted effort to spend some more focused time with the kids, and we all had a lot of fun. :) A rousing game of Forbidden Island was one of the first requests. :)

 Hannah was ecstatic to receive a letter from her best friend this week. ♥

 And we were both rather excited to receive our first KnitPicks order! A box of lovely, yarny goodness!!! :)

Unfortunately, Mommy should have watched the video instructing her on how to properly handle a hank of yarn before attempting to do so. Ugh. Epic. Fail. So thankful for my hubby who gave up over an hour of time helping me untangle it.

 

Day 160. Chris left early Tuesday morning for a brief business trip. A full dishwasher was a huge reminder of his absence. I am blessed with a husband who unloads it for me every. single. morning. It's a "small" thing, but it's a huge help for me in my daily routine. So thankful.

 Special activities today continued with some Lego enterprises for the boys ...

 Yarn on the needles for Hannah ...

 And yarn on the hook for Mommy (with her yarn now nicely tamed into a ball ...) :)

 Day 161. So. So. Close. !!!

Day 162. Peter got a new Lego remote control this week and had fun sharing the experience with Abby.

She was suitably impressed. :)

 Hannah was very excited to learn how to sew this week! :)

 A drawstring bag to hold her new knitting project is in the works!

Day 163. We loved celebrating Nanny's birthday with her!! ♥ (Poppy left that morning for another business trip ... happily, he left Daddy home this time.) ;)

 ♥

 And it's official! Abby crawled forward for the first time on her knees on Nanny's birthday. :)

Day 164. And while Abby learns to crawl, Mommy is learning to run. I successfully completed Day 1 of Couch to 5K ... :)

My DIY Flipbelt seems like a really good alternative to carrying my phone in my hand. The fact that it was free and took less than ten minutes to make didn't hurt my feelings either. ;) And for my Grandpa, who I'm sure will be wondering why on earth I need my phone to go running ... I have an app on my phone that tells me how long to run and how long to walk. As I progress through the Couch to 5K program, I'll slowly increase my running times and decrease my walking times. :)

 

And somebody was very pleased with herself for finding the Norwex cloth and ...

 Figuring out how to use it! :) We start them young around here! ;) LOL! :) Just kidding. :)

And such be our days. :)
Thanks for visiting! :)
