Fun Times!

Steve went back to work today. But The Adventures of Cory and Wm continue!! We had a great "all family holiday break." I am a Craig's List Master and found a buffet for the dining room on there. Steve is thrilled to have a coffee station and I am happy to have more storage and "counter-like"space. 

We had to fold down the entire back seat to fit it in the car, so we had to call in an emergency assist from Mimi, who came and hung out with Wm while we went to get it. And it was solid and HEAVY, so it took all 3 of us to get it in the house! I, too, am enjoying Mimi's retirement! 

Then, today, Mimi and her friend Lois took their grandkids on an adventure!! Mimi came and picked up Wm at 8:30am this morning and whisked him off to Cincinnati to go see an awesome Lego exhibit! 

Before they left, I managed to slide another healthy food into Wm - unbeknownst to him! I made him a "chocolate milkshake" for breakfast and he was like, "I am allowed to have this...FOR BREAKFAST?" [insert evil laugh here] It was almond milk, peanut butter, a frozen banana, chia seeds, and cocoa powder. I told him the chia seeds were tiny chocolate chip bits and he bought it! He never even suspected there was an actual fruit in there. And so my diabolical plan to trick Wm into eating foods continues...

After his milkshake, off Wm went!

Been there.

And while Wm was gone, I got so much accomplished! I popped in to work for an hour and finished up a quick project that needed doing and was like a black cloud hanging over vacation, took a jog around the nature path out there, then went to Target for supplies and came home and organized our "pantry."

I <3 organizing!

I chatted on the phone with a friend for over an hour, uninterrupted by demands for snacks! And right after I finished my own snack and Netflix show, Wm and Mimi arrived home! 

Lastly, don't feel sorry for Steve, who had to return to work. He returned to find out he got a big annual bonus this year!! Yay Steve! He has definitely earned it!! (But the amount of taxes they take out are enough to make me vote for Trump. HA!) And an old friend of his stopped in to his office to visit him today and he was really happy to see him and catch up. So it was a great day for everyone!
