Monday Musings: Requiescence

Definition: Peace, quiet, lack of difficulty.

This so does not describe my week. That’s why we call it a theme, right? So we can pick ourselves up by the bootstraps and keep moving on?
In the middle of the week we got this:

We got 15.7" over 3 days... ranking in the top 7 snowfall events since 1873! This was taken at 7:30 a.m. the morning of the 19th.

I don’t mind. Although, I’m really glad the Engineer didn’t get shipped out to Seattle like he was going to. I wouldn’t have been able to get out of my driveway. On the other hand… calling in a snow day to work wouldn’t have been so bad.

Later in the day behind my workplace.

I’ve always thought that folks who don’t like snow shouldn’t live in Montana. Days like this make my soul happy. The driving – eh – not so much. But I love the muffling. I love the way you are forced to slow down.

Usually he wears my headband like a crown. This morning he put it on like this... what made it even better is that the only pair of socks I could find were pink. I am not posting that picture. Suffice it to say that my son is very comfortable in his masculinity.

So … just a smidge over two years ago… I had to call in sick to work. Crippling cramping. Abdominal pain.

The result, of course, was Munchkin.

We did a Jungle Safari theme... more on that later.

I can’t believe it’s already been so long. I know it’s the cliche thing to say, but really, where did the time go? It wasn’t so long ago that he could lay on my stomach and I could still imagine him curled up inside.

Making a wish...

Two!

  1. “Photo of the When it Happens?” Love it! :)

    And this post is so sweet. I did a Curious George theme for my son’s 2nd birthday (he’s now 5) and made monkey cupcakes — how your post brings back memories.

    Good luck with all your snow! I enjoy your sense of humor.

    • Aw thank you! The snow is mostly gone now (sad!) and we’re expecting warm temperatures next week. I’ll enjoy not being cold… but I’m not quite ready to say good bye to winter, as strange as that sounds!

  2. You’re absolutely right, of course–time flies like crazy! Gianna turns 1 on Saturday. I can’t believe she is walking and communicating with us. Your cake looks awesome–we’re doing a monster-themed birthday party (go figure, right?). I’m glad I ran into your blog.

    • Thanks for the compliment Justin! I was fairly pleased with it given that it was pretty last minute and took about 20 minutes to do. :P

      Monster themed? I love it. :)
