All by myself...

Don't worry, guys. I just burned a pan of water... Seriously? There I went, busily cleaning the house before Kris arrives home from his trip tomorrow, getting bottles made and babies to bed, and bags packed for school tomorrow. I made a healthy bedtime snack of egg whites and summer squash. I filled the pan with water to boil the remnants of egg off of the pan and somehow ended up forgetting while I went and took a bath, and got ready for bed. I started panicking when I smelled something burning.

Our tiniest frying pan is literally- fried. And I'm sitting with my windows open trying to air out the smoke so I can sleep without stench in my nose. Uck.

It's just been one of those weeks! This is my first week going back to work Monday-Friday since Keegan was born, and this is also Kris' first business trip week- ever. It's been a whirlwind and seems to be passing at a snails pace. Kris comes home tomorrow and I could not be happier.

This week has been an awesome reminder of the companion and team mate that I have in my husband. Yes, I can do it, but boy, do we miss our Daddy when he's gone.

And apparently he misses me too, because he had flowers sent to me at work yesterday!

Talk about making a girl feel special!

And I tell you, looking at these flowers after a long night of Benny-Boy who is STILL sick and always ends up in bed with me around 4:00 in the morning the past few weeks as he's recovering.

But how yummy is he?!

Also, Keegan had a VERY successful potty-training day at school. He has been awesome for the past couple weeks, but suddenly had some rough days this week. He had multiple accidents because he's kind of frightened of the big potties at school. He was not going potty ALL DAY and waiting until nap time when he would go in his Pull-Up. Because he held it for so long he had a couple major accidents two days in a row.

Today, however, Keegan did A.W.E.S.O.M.E.

Not only were his undies dry, but his Pull-Up stayed dry all nap. He sat on the big kid potty at school and was so grown up. So thankful for his school and the girls there that help reinforce good behaviors.

Keegan got his Thomas hat for a reward for being Mr. Big Kid today:

This kid.


He gets me every time.



Ah, it almost hurts!


Now it's time for a little Covert Affairs and nail painting before bed. Here's my new pick for fall nails:

It's Essie's Carry On. It's nice to have more of a purple tone rather than a red base during the fall. Love.

Anyway, the smoke starting to clear (literally) and I'm going to try to enjoy my last night as a single lady for a while.

I will post tomorrow about how we potty trained Keegan and how it's going so far in more detail! :)
