The Shafferland Shuffle

Welcome to September! It has definitely felt like fall around here the last couple of days. It's been fun, but I wouldn't hate just a few more warm days! :) Here's a peek into our week!

* Last Sunday was gorgeous, so the three of us (we still have Phoebe) hung out in the yard for a while. Sunday night, we went to our nephew's birthday party, which was quite an event! Our sister-in-law does a great job with themed parties. It's pretty amazing!

* Monday morning started off rainy, but it sure got pretty later in the day! Phoebe got a special treat when we went to get Ryan after work. His co-workers' kids were there and they wanted to play fetch with her. Friends just her size who want to play games? OKAY! The game playing continued when we got home. Ryan gave her a workout! She slept well that night! (And when Phoebe sleeps, we sleep. WIN/WIN!)

* Tuesday began with some fog, which was quite lovely to see (because I didn't have to drive in it). It burned off and the day was beautiful again! We didn't have big plans; we just worked around the house on cooking and painting projects. (Not combined.)

* Ryan had a quick break in his schedule on Wednesday and came home to surprise me with a Coke! (I had been dying for one for a while.) Phoebe was excited to see him so she could squeeze in a tug-of-war game. Another low-key day for Shafferland. This week was just lovely that way!

* Thursday, when I left to volunteer at the school, Phoebe just curled up with her squeaker toy and gave me the most forlorn look. When I came home, she pretty much stuck by my side for the rest of the day. She sure makes a girl feel loved! That night, my big project was portioning out all the marinara sauce I made earlier in the week. I know. I have the most fun.

* Friday was a busy office-work day for me, so Phoebe was MORE than ready for games with Ryan by the end of the day! He and I had to run some errands, and while we were out, we found some MASSIVE mums we thought would be perfect at our house, so we got them! I also double bagged all my groceries so we could replenish our poop bag supply. LOL! Running low! This girl is regular.

* Yesterday? 57 months of wedded bliss AND an alphabetical date. Oh! And Ryan had to work all day. (Longer than a regular work day, actually. Phoebe was so sad.) We had fun, though, when he got home. I'll tell you all about it next week!

It appears that it was good we had Phoebe this week or you would have had nothing to look at!
