MM100

Susan and I have been regularly exercising this winter, doing Beachbody’s Morning Meltdown 100. We are almost done. Here is a timelapse of one of our workouts.

Girls Night & Boys Night

Last night we split up the boys and girls from the Lieslands and the Reagens and had a girls night and boys night. The girls stayed at the Reagens’ and highlights included nachos, a dessert bar, fashion show, and couples yoga. The boys stayed at the Lieslands’ and highlights included sandwich bar, watching football, playing ping pong, playing drawful, and eating junk. Nate was unable to join us because he was in Minneapolis visiting his dad.

Home projects

I have a solid two weeks off this year over Christmas so we are getting some projects done around the house. Here I am tiling the girls’ bathroom. It is the hottest room in the house so I have to work shirtless. Before this we painted some trim in the living room and repainted the boys’ room, along with moving some beds around.

Christmas Decorations

Traditionally we get out our Christmas decorations the day after Thanksgiving. If we stay the night at the Connors’ we usually pick up our tree on the way home on Friday. This year I ran out on Friday morning to get not one, but two trees – one for the front and one for the back.

Goodbye, Oreo

Well, our second attempt at a pet has come to an end. We gave it a good effort. Oreo was a good cat who enjoyed hanging out with Lucia and Rose and they loved paying with him. In the end, it just wasn’t a great fit for our family.

Update: 2 days later we received an anonymous package in the mail with a new Oreo for the girls to play with:
