Thoughts on Thursday

Here's a happy hodge podge because Chris has been working super late, the sun has been out super late, and I don't like to do anything until it's too late (like pack). 

Time has been slipping by so fast now that daylight savings time passed. Isn't it supposed to make the days seem longer? I adore our time outside and may have let the boys put off homework because honestly I really don't care that much. There's so much research right now about how inconsequential homework is in the elementary school years and I'm just going to go with that. Chris was on a research kick about this a few months ago (after N had hours and hours of homework in first grade). 

T's teacher had twin baby boys a month ago. And they can't find anyone to fill her spot. In December they had her replacement come in often to meet the kids and get to know them. Then a week before the teacher's leave started, she decided not to do it. So they had another teacher come in that last week with the teacher, and then she decided not to do it. Now the kids are stuck with rotating subs and it SUCKS. T has asked me to homeschool him next year. I don't blame him. 

I ordered this dress from Old Navy and I can't wait for it to come in. It has great reviews. I'm trying to wear more dresses (maybe because my jeans are too tight).

I adore this shirt from Anthro... but I need it to be cheaper, or match more in my closet. 

And these JCrew shoes are calling my name. I don't have time to paint nails these days.

I hadn't had a hair cut in a year. Last Friday I had it chopped thinking maybe I can go another year. My stylist did say it was actually in great shape (note awkward selfie face with non-matching eyebrows... must fix).

We went out with friends for the first time in FOREVER! We did one of those exit rooms, where you're given a scenario and you have to make it out. Ours was the Queen City Bank Heist and we were stealing a diamond. They give you an hour and we made it in an hour and two minutes (I think they let us finish since we were so close). It was so fun. Afterward we went to Olde Mecklenburg Brewery. I had never been before and it was quite an experience. It was so much fun to be out with friends and without the kids. It was also the first time I haven't put KC to bed. She did okay but was attached to me all the next morning.

If you haven't tried the Harris Teeter express lane, it's free till the 29th. It really is the best. It makes everything so much easier - meal planning, eating at home more often. Just do it!! (I totally took a screen shot of my phone and sent it to my friends who don't use Express Lane yet).

KC is so out of control these days. She knows what she wants and has no problem screaming and going limp to get it. But then she's so crazy cute. 

We are so excited to be moving to our new house soon (our inspection is tomorrow). I also try to be totally upfront with people, it's not like we are moving to a gorgeous new home. I took pictures of my two favorite features of the house. One being an antique oven (I'm assuming it's been there since 1966) and the other being the most awesome double vanity I've ever seen. It will be awhile before we can update and for once I'm okay with that. When we bought our current home I rushed to furnish it, paint it, landscape, and I really should have taken my time and figured out how we wanted the space to look and flow. So this will be my kitchen for a good 5-10 years. And I'm excited about it (the wall paper will go, and the cabinets will be painted... but that's all I have planned for now). 

I hope your week is going well! We start Spring Break tomorrow. The kids are exciting for Easter and the following week T turns 6!! It will be a busy and super fun week! I'm linking up with Annie and Natalie!
