Day 248 of my 365 Photo Journal 

I'm using these photos from Tuesday after all, because I still haven't edited the beach and tea party pictures! I kind of feel frustrated about that, but I really just haven't made the time to do it. I got a new video game for my birthday and the kids have been really into watching me play it, so during Ollie's nap time, I play my video game (Spiritfarer) while the big kids watch...and Jonas directs. 😂 It has been fun, but distracts me from some other things I've been wanting to do. Not that I'd do them anyway, truthfully. 

I went to my dermatologist today for a follow up on my rosacea. My skin has improved so much over the last two months! It has been really nice to get my old face back. BUT, while I was there she was like, "Hey, let's take care of those skin tags" and then just removed like 10 skin tags from my body. 😮 I'm glad she did it, but I just wasn't expecting it! I'll be so glad to have them gone though. It's weird, because I never had any until after I got pregnant with Ollie and then, suddenly, I had tons! The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. I felt super empowered while I was out for my doctor appt, because I got a ton done in the one hour I was gone. I grabbed food, returned library books, did a pick-up at Target, and had my appt. That's a lot in one hour! I got home like, hey! I can do anything! I should paint this bookshelf, hang this mirror, order all the prints I want to replace in the frames, and do all of my normal stuff! Five minutes later, I was like...no. 😆 It was a pretty smooth day, still. Much better than yesterday.

I like these pictures below, because in the second one, although you can't really tell, Andrei is trying to copy Jonas and bounce on the big yoga ball. :) He's usually pretty shy around me, so it was nice that I got to have a few interactions with him Tuesday.

What a day! It literally rained from start to finish, but we packed as much into it as we possibly could! We had a great time visiting and hanging out. We had a fire and lots of great meals *brushes shoulder off*. The kids played well together and, as far as I know, there wasn't any drama! It was a bit exhausting, but I'm so glad that this retreat went well. Last year's was a bit of a bomb, with all the childcare drama happening behind the scenes. I feel like last year's retreat was a pre-cursor to our deciding to move away. Not that they actually had anything to do with one another, but they happened in such close succession that they seem related in retrospect. I drank a bit too much tonight and had a really fun time singing songs, while Tony played the guitar. Man, I wish I had talent with instruments!

This is my favorite picture from the whole shoot!! I love it.  We went to CT this morning and I actually got to sit in on the teaching! Woo! It feels like that doesn't happen very often. We hung out in the cafe with friends for a little bit, then went to Chipotle for lunch on the way home.  We spent most of the day just relaxing! I started a photo book for our Maine vaca in September, and tried to get caught up with some other stuff, but it was mostly just a chill day. Jonas and Clem went to group and we stayed home, chillin'. Ben and I got in the hot tub with Ruby and Ollie for a little while, which was fun. It was snowing while we were in there!

Today was a very rough day for me. It's not like everything went wrong, I just really struggled to manage my emotions. I had to run out, first thing, to get my pick-up order because there were things in it that we needed for breakfast. Then, somehow, we didn't get school started until almost 9:30. I started with Ruby and Ollie, as usual, and decided to check in with Ollie while I was reading. Okay, related side note, Ruby can't stand it when I ask Ollie questions and not her. But the thing is, Ruby remembers EVERYTHING she hears. She learns super well by just plain old listening. If I ask her questions, she answers them correctly and I never get to gauge whether or not Ollie is learning. She also always blurts out answers because she's so afraid I won't give her an opportunity to show us all how much she is learning. And I get it! She wants praise and to show me that she's a good student and she's learning. I understand. But, because of her constant eagernes...
