Goodness gracious. I’m coming to you this Monday after QUITE the week. Like for real, I’m not sure how to put a good spin on it, except that it was comical how badly things went :] Sooooo I’m including a cute picture of Ollie for interest and for smiles. And because Ashley Powell sent over images to us at the perfect time! Ollie cuteness cures all.

This last week can be described by taxes and sickness. All the best things right :] Oh, and by cleaning our office. *facepalm* It was Radford’s spring break this week, so we had big plans to get some planning done, house-y things attended to, and of course, getting our taxes done. All of those things happened, but not without peril! First, I got sick. And then we drove to Northern VA in the midst of me being delirious/ill/slightly crazy to get our taxes done. Which is just a JOY if you’re a small business owner. It’s one of the very few downsides to owning your own business. And then when it felt like we were out of the woods, David and my mom and my grandma got really sick! So we extended our stay by a day because David was just not up to traveling. And my poor family was falling apart physically! My dad even texted me this morning to tell me he was sick too! It wasn’t the weekend we had planned on, that’s before. I spent Saturday evening checking on everyone and refreshing youtube videos for Ollie. Sooooo all of that to say…get your flu shots people. This is serious business. Our saving grace is that Ollie has been A-OK minus not being a stellar sleeper lately.

I think it’s time for some feels. Some way more playful feels. :]

• There were still some bright spots in this week. One of them being THIS VIDEO! Oh my Lord, friends. I’ve seen it upwards of 30 times and I have laughed harder every time. It’s just too real. Even if it had been scripted it couldn’t have been better. Do yourself a favor and watch 5x right now.
• Okay now that you’ve watched it here are my favorite things about it: the dance the older daughter does. The way the baby ricochets off the bed and glides on the scene. The fact that the mom probably just took a break to pee and all hell broke lose, hence her pants being down. It’s just too good.
• It’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s 20th anniversary! Eek! I didn’t get hooked on Buffy until freshman year of college when my roommate introduced me, but oh my, is it a masterpiece. If you haven’t given it a chance, it’s time!
• David was “starving” on Friday while we walked around Costco, so he took a tour of the samples. I was cracking up watching him walk about five feet, stop, get in line, get a sample, eat it, and then repeat the process five feet later.
• The other definite bright spot in my week was listening to the “Dear Evan Hansen” soundtrack. SO incredible. Currently trying to figure out a way to see it when we’re in NYC for Hamilton in May!
• Ollie updates: walking everywhere. blowing kisses. said “poop” several times yesterday. giving sloppy open mouthed kisses. developing a new high pitched laugh.

TBT to when we found out that ice cream was Ollie’s favorite too.
