Well Hey There!

It appears it's been a wee bit since I've been on here.  Holy carp.  Life got a little busy peeps.  School started and shit hit the fan, let's be real.

Here's my beauties on the first day of school.  This was the first time in a loooong time that I was a nervous wreck.  Emma and Alayna both switched schools this year, Rachel made the switch last year and it was the BEST decision ever!  We just weren't happy with our school district, so we made the switch this year for the other two.  It couldn't have gone better, all three love it!

So basically our lives have consisted of this:

And this:

Rachel and Alayna play volleyball and Emma swims.  We pretty much have one night a week that everyone is home.  I'm not gonna lie, it's been really hard this fall.  I am really, truly a homebody and I miss my house.  And I miss my people...aka, my kids.  Everyone says it's just a phase, but in my neurotic mind, I feel like it's the beginning of them leaving me.  Am I crazy?

Anyway, like I said, it's been crazy around here., we typically rush home after work, eat and head out the door.  Thankfully, my meal planning has been rocking!  They are definitely easy, quick meals, but I feel good knowing that we are all still eating homemade food even if it's not all at the same time.

We are now on the home stretch with sports.  Emma is done next week and Rach and Alayna still have a few weeks left.

So between the craziness of sports and work, my incredible hubs decided to plan a surprise trip up north.  I got up Saturday morning and he had our bags packed and ready to go.  It was an absolutely gorgeous fall weekend up there and we just completely relaxed all weekend.  It was glorious! 

We found this beach called Iona's beach that when the waves crash against the rocks, it sounds like bells, it was so neat!

We stayed at the resort we honeymooned in, this is our 4th time staying there, it's right on Lake Superior, and the views are amazing!

I had already taken Monday off, and Brad had gotten tickets for the Vikings Monday night game.  We went with Brad's brother and his wife.  The new stadium was so cool!

It was such a perfect weekend, lots of relaxing going on and lots of fun!  

Tuesday morning I felt like this...

Hoping to be back to a more "regular" blogging schedule!
